Inspiration :
Nature and its wonders are always my source of inspiration. I am deeply moved by the fantastical and surreal world of Lewis Carroll, as well as the timeless works of René Lalique. My designs are rooted in the poetic and surreal expression of the beauty of animals and plants.
Conception :
The creative process begins with paper and pencil, where an idea is born. Wandering through a dreamlike universe, sketches multiply, enriched with a touch of refinement and fantasy, until they give life to a unique design.
Craftsmanship :
The sculpting of the model, casting, mold-making, polishing, metal hammering, fine saw cutting, stone setting, engraving, and gilding… All these steps are carried out in a workshop in France, with the pride of artisanal expertise and a passion for handcrafted work. By enhancing the beauty of materials and expressing every detail with finesse, a unique piece of jewelry is born. Combining traditional techniques with creativity, each piece is meticulously crafted to stand the test of time and be cherished for generations to come.
Atelier d'Art France:
Atelier d'Art de France is an organization that supports artisans in France, recognizing their craftsmanship and artistic vision. This prestigious label is awarded only to artisans who pass a rigorous selection process, requiring both mastery of traditional techniques and a unique creative approach.
I have had the honor of receiving this distinction. As an artisan carrying a part of France’s artistic heritage, I strive to create works that live up to this recognition, preserving the beauty of handmade craftsmanship and pursuing creations that touch the heart.
Artisan d’art :
The La Qualité d'Artisan label is awarded by the Chamber of Trades and Crafts in recognition of artisans' expertise and excellence. This distinction is granted only to those with proven skills, solid experience, and a strong commitment to traditional craftsmanship.
It is with great honor that I have received this title. As an artisan in France, I will continue to create jewelry that upholds the high standards and beauty of handcrafted artistry.

I believe that jewelry is not merely an ornament to wear, but that it can hold various meanings.
One of its roles is to add a touch of refinement and whimsy to an outfit, highlighting the individuality of the wearer. The joy of dressing up is enhanced, bringing with it confidence and happiness.
Another essential aspect is its ability to be a source of comfort for the heart. In precious moments, jewelry can instill courage, become a reassuring symbol—like a talisman that provides a quiet strength.
Finally, jewelry creates connections between people. It weaves bonds between the giver and the receiver, engraving precious memories. It can also spark conversations, leading to new encounters and stories.
Through CULOYON jewelry, I wish to give life to stories and connections that illuminate both everyday life and the heart, by crafting each piece with care and passion.
