HM: You use exquisite stones and pearls in your pieces, how do you go about sourcing your materials and where do you source them?
For the most part I source them directly from professionals who specialize in diamonds, precious stones, typical stones, pearls, and different materials such as enamel and precious woods.
For some specific demands I source them in person. I remember having to go to French Polynesia to source a special order of huge blue petroleum Tahitian pearl. It’s not so common so was necessary to source direct.
HM: Where would you say is the best place to shop for jewellery in Paris?
I would say the ‘Marais’ if you like fashion and trendy jewelry, ‘Place Vendôme’ if you’re looking for amazing pieces and my place if you’re looking for unique pieces made just for you. There are a lot of options to fit your budget in Paris!
HM: Paris is a city brimming with culture. What do you love most about living in Paris?
I’m lucky to live and work in the center of Paris so it feels like living in a small city. You know a lot of
people, you can go everywhere by foot and live in a fast pace city but at a normal rhythm!
HM: What’s your favourite place in Paris to….
Shop: Goyart for the history and the luxury of their products
Be Inspired: Walking in the different ‘arrondissements’ of Paris as you always see a new or uncommon building, when you look up you’re always surprised by the terrace, decorations etc
Eat to your hearts content: A small Italian restaurant ‘Villa Luciano’ where you feel at home!
Go for a walk: Along the Seine River with the monument and peniche boats
See some live music: In bars on Rue Daunou!
