A BLEND OF PRECIOUS AND RAW MATERIALS, ANCESTRAL AND MODERN TECHNIQUES, SHIMMERING AND SHARP COLORS, CLEAN AND SOPHISTICATED PIECES. THE METAL IS SCULPTED, MOLDED, CUT, DRILLED, ENGRAVED, DIP IN 24-CARAT GOLD AND EVEN EMBROIDERED WITH COTTON THREAD. THE PIECES TAKE ALL THEIR NOBILITY THANKS TO FRENCH CRAFTSMANSHIP...
INSPIRATION
EACH COLLECTION IS INSPIRED BY A COUNTRY, AN ETHNICITY, AN ENCOUNTER. EVERY YEAR, CAMILLE GOES ON A TRAVEL TO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM ELSEWHERE . COLOURS, MATERIALS, SHAPES, TECHNIQUES, EVERYTHING IS LAYED FLAT AND TRANSCRIBED INTO A GIANT MOODBOARD THAT WILL BE THE CREATIVE SUPPORT FOR THE COLLECTION. IT IS THEN CUT INTO COLLECTIONS "CAPSULES" - OR STRONG IDEAS - TO BE DECLINED AND PRESENTED TO YOU THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. EACH CAPSULE HAS ITS TECHNICAL SPECIFICITIES, ITS RANGE OF COLORS AND ITS VERY PARTICULAR VOLUMES...
DESIGN
WHEN CAMILLE IS SURE OF WHAT SHE WANTS TO TRANSMIT TO YOU, SHE STARTS TO CREATE HER MODELS ON COMPUTER THROUGH FIRST DRAWINGS. BY DRAWING THE MODELS, THE FINAL DETAILS ARE DEFINED... ALL THE DRAWINGS ARE MADE BY CAMILLE ON A GRAPHIC CREATION SOFTWARE IN ORDER TO TRANSMIT THE MOST ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS POSSIBLE TO OUR MANUFACTURERS.
MANUFACTURING
THIS IS OUR FAVORITE STAGE; OUR MANUFACTURERS DO A FABULOUS JOB ON OUR JEWELRY. IT IS THEY WHO GIVE LIFE TO THE CREATIONS IMAGINED BY CAMILLE...
THE METAL IS WORKED BY CHEMICAL CUTTING, SOMETIMES BY LASER: CUT, ENGRAVED, DRILLED , IT IS THEN POLISHED AND BENT BY HAND. UPON RECEIPT OF THE FIRST PROTOTYPES, THERE ARE STILL A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE FOR EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT. ONE OR TWO EDITS AND IT'S GOING FOR PRODUCTION! THEN, CERTAIN MODELS SUCH AS NECKLACES AND EARRINGS ARE THEN WELDED AND/OR ASSEMBLED BY HAND IN OUR PARIS WORKSHOP AND AT OUR PARTNERS.
GILDING
OUR CRAFTSMAN USES GILDING BY ELECTROLYSIS, OR GALVANIC GILDING, TO GIVE OUR JEWELRY THEIR DEFINITIVE APPEARANCE. THIS IS AN OLD AND COMPLEX PROCESS CARRIED OUT IN PARIS, WHICH CONSISTS OF DEPOSITING A SHINY LAYER OF 24k GOLD ON OUR JEWELRY. THE GOLD USED BY OUR ARTISAN IS FAIR AND TRACEABLE. THIS PROCESS ALLOWS REGULAR GILDING WHOSE THICKNESS IS CONTROLLED AND VERY LONG LASTING...
EMBROIDERY
FINALLY COMES THE TIME TO DRESS OUR MIXED JEWELRY WITH COLORFUL THREADS AND TO HIGHLIGHT OUR UNIQUE KNOW-HOW: EMBROIDERY ON METAL . CAMILLE HAS REINVENTED THE ANCESTRAL TECHNIQUE OF CROSS-STITCH EMBROIDERY THAT SHE HAS ALWAYS PRACTICED. AN OEKO-TEX 100 CERTIFIED COTTON THREAD , A NEEDLE AND EXEMPLARY DEXTERITY ENABLE YOU TO REINVENT EACH JEWEL ACCORDING TO YOUR DESIRES... IN FACT, WE EMBROIDE TO ORDER, WHICH ALLOWS US TO ENSURE A UNIQUE PRODUCTION AND HIGH QUALITY. ON YOUR SIDE, HAVE FUN AND PERSONALIZE EACH OF OUR JEWELRY...
