The architecture of a shell
Every piece begins as a section through a chamber — not as a sketch of jewelry, but as a drawing of space.
A nautilus does not decorate itself. It builds a room, then another, then another, each one a little larger, each one still the same idea. That is the only brief we give the goldsmiths.
The Velvet Cuff is a wall. The Nacre Collar is a threshold. The ear cuff is a staircase that happens to fit an ear.
When a piece is finished we ask only one question: would a shell recognise itself. If the answer is no, it does not leave the atelier.
