Let us introduce Sylvie Koechlin Proust...

It seems to me that I have been drawing and designing jewels for always

After having received a degree in jewellery craftwork in 1985 in Nice, I lived in the united States for two years where I was able to learn new technical knowledge

I worked on the material from the raw metal stage to the final polish. Five years ago I developed an devouring interest for the work of earthenware and learned about the work of ceramic in order to make pearls.

They are first modelled by hand , then enamelled and cooked at a temperature exceeding 1000° C in my own workshop

The value of these jewels come, not only from the fact that they contain precious material but especially from the fact that each piece is a unique item. This value is all the more increased by the fact that I combine the fruit of my imagination with my liking for precious materials and ceramic, these two work hand in hand to offer you my most finely designed pieces

They are similar to charms or fetish objects although their first role is to be a testimony of personal taste development. The shapes are inspired by the contours of natural elements, and the main part of my work is making sure the jewel is in symbiosis with the person it is being made for.

When creating, my imagination acts as an extension of my work ability, letting my imagination flow helps me to create with passion.
