My idea of jewelry is far from smooth.
My jewelry is the testimony I leave on dry land when I set sail.
925/1000 silver necklace weighing 125.3 grams
Héphaïstos Collection is a set of different models but where the same technique is used for each unique piece, the metal work very marked and visible, raw, forged shapes, a blackened patina, with apparent roughness, bracelets, rings, triple , wide, hammered and also necklaces.
In short, a return to the first metal work, the “forge” style.

This solid silver ring (18.7 grams) is set with a black diamond (1.30 carats) a gem with unusual characteristics.
Today, the main theory of researchers is that this diamond would come from a collision between our planet and an asteroid dating back hundreds of millions of years (2.6 to 3.8 billion years BC).
The debris caused by the collision would have spread in the atmosphere and would have landed in Africa as well as in Brazil.
This black gem is therefore distinguished from other diamonds whose origin is volcanic and makes us dream because of its genesis and its components.
The final rendering is unique, the lines are light but marked by the work of the metal.

To create this 0.10 carat diamond ring in solid 925/1000 silver (7.34 grams), 750/1000 gold (2.15 grams) I used the lost wax casting technique.
Before becoming a jewel I sculpted it entirely in wax using a saw as the only tool, using a different cutting angle each time, I made different layers in order to melt it in silver.
To achieve this effect the gold is heated to more than 1000 ° to fuse with the silver, I particularly like this technique which gives a surprising result each time.
I then applied the patina so that my work has even more relief.
