MEDAL
Poetic lucky charm medal
This "medals" collection invites you to journey into a symbolic universe, rich with meanings for each creation and for every wearer who adopts it.
From the desire to move forward on one's own path, to overcoming the doubts and hesitations of daily life, to thoughts of those we hold dear.
It is in these nuances of the heart that these jewels were created, as precious and meaningful objects for both the body and the spirit.
Signification
Inspirés par la nature, les animaux symboliques, et les formes anciennes, des bijoux gravés avec soin, chaque pièce ayant sa propre signification.
MATERIAL
This lucky charm medal collection uses recycled silver and recycled gold, with respect for the environment.
Sterling Silver (Silver 925):
This is an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. Harder than pure silver and less prone to scratches, it is today the most commonly used material in jewelry.
Vermeil:
Vermeil is pure silver, generally sterling silver (silver 925), coated with a thick layer of gold. Unlike simple gold plating, it must meet several strict criteria:
-
The base metal must be solid silver (sterling silver 925 or equivalent).
-
The gold used for plating must be at least 10 carats in purity, generally 18 carats or higher. For our collection, we use 22-carat gold.
-
The thickness of the gold layer must be at least 2.5 microns.
These requirements give vermeil much greater durability than standard gold plating, as well as a luxurious shine close to that of solid gold.
18-Carat Yellow Gold:
This alloy is composed of 75% pure gold, combined with 25% alloy metals, mainly silver and copper. Compared to pure gold, it has greater hardness, is more resistant to scratches, and offers a beautiful shine along with high durability. It also holds intrinsic value, making it a highly valued material for crafting long-lasting and precious jewelry.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Model sculpting, casting, mold making, polishing, metal hammering, fine saw cutting, stone setting, engraving, gold plating…
All of these steps are carried out in a workshop in France, with pride in traditional craftsmanship and a deep passion for handmade work.
Atelier d’Art France:
Atelier d’Art France is an organization that supports fine craftspeople in France and recognizes both their savoir-faire and artistic vision.
This prestigious label is awarded only to artisans who have passed a rigorous selection process, requiring mastery of traditional techniques and a distinctive creative voice.
Artisan d’Art:
The “Qualité d’Artisan” label is awarded by the Chamber of Trades and Crafts (Chambre de Métiers et de l’Artisanat) in recognition of a maker’s excellence and expertise.
This title is given only to artisans with proven skill, solid experience, and a deep commitment to traditional craftsmanship.
I strive to create pieces that honor the two titles I’ve been awarded — with the heartfelt wish that each jewel brings warmth and joy to the one who wears it.
To create pieces that endure through time and are loved for years to come: that is what I devote my heart to.
