Forged or rusted iron, scraps collected from her wanderings, has always been the designer’s favourite material, and she infuses jewellery with a preciousness through her work and her poetic diversions, rather than by using gold, silver, or gemstones.

In each creation, she is reaffirming her commitment to collecting, repairing, reusing, and reclaiming what has been discarded.

Trained at the HEAD, (Geneva), the HEAR (Strasbourg) and by Gilles Jonemann, Marianne is represented by numerous galleries in France, and abroad.

Après une maîtrise en linguistique anglaise, Christophe Burger a étudié la conception de bijoux à l’Ecole des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg. Il a ensuite ouvert son studio-galerie dans la vieille ville de Colmar où il travaille toujours.

Il est cofondateur de l’association française Corpus, au sein de laquelle il mène des recherches théoriques sur le bijou contemporain et fut designer indépendant pour la société finlandaise Lapponia.

Il conçoit et réalise des bijoux et objets, pièces uniques ou petites séries, ainsi que des installations. Ses pièces font partie de nombreuses collections publiques à Montréal, Munich et au MAD, Paris.

Trained in design and goldsmithing in England and Denmark, Karen Gay now works in France. She forges, hammers and solders silver and gold to create unique pieces.

She creates flighty curves of movement, excelling in the dual technique of reticulation and fusion to deposit fine gold on to the melting surface of silver and gold. Gems and diamonds then serve to highlight a curve or sparkle from the side.

Her pieces are a subtle blend of precious aesthetics and a contemporary approach, reflecting her joy in shaping the material. They evoke at times the plant world, at times the mineral world, or even the universe and its galaxies…

Trained in music, the plastic arts and then jewellery-making, Anne works at her workbench like a poet at their desk in search of the perfect word; she is a jeweller constantly seeking simplicity, balance and meaning.

Her jewellery evokes her story or our own. It acts as a bridge and touches us. The materials are revealed through understated lines, clear, taut curves and balanced proportions in which light gives rhythm to the forms.

Her jewellery is light and delicate, with shapes that sometimes evoke childhood, even intimacy, accompanying the body in motion with elegance.

After studying art history in Chicago and at the Sorbonne, she was led to jewelry making after visiting an artists’ jewelry exhibition.
She learned from her sculptor husband and Carl Dau, a Berlin jeweler, taught her about accuracy and precision.

A jeweller’s saw, files and a soldering torch are her main tools. The play of light on silver and gold is the essential element in her work.

Often the textured metal forms are juxtaposed and superimposed, the shapes let the light and shadows animate the piece. Sometimes the color of a geometric gemstone is incorporated into the composition, elegantly enhancing a ring or a necklace.

Karin Roy Andersson has got a MFA in Design and Crafts. Drawn to the concepts of multiplicity and recurrence, as in birds’ feathers and fish scales, she creates jewellery in which dynamic patterns evoke harmony and balance. Upon closer inspection, one can see the hours spent sawing, cutting and polishing…

Since 2010, Karin has been running FOUR – a studio in Gothenburg which she shares with three other designers. The gallery organises international exhibitions and serves as a forum for discussion on art, jewellery, and inspiration…

Karin Roy Andersson jewellery can be found in permanent collections in Sweden and in Italy.

Trained in metal and glass techniques, Agathe Saint Girons’ sculptural work ranges from contemporary jewellery to sculpture.

Her pieces explore human relationships in their romantic, friendly, familial and social aspects. Through their forms, varied materials and names, they evoke a mental or spiritual state.

Her unquenchable technical curiosity and her dexterity in working with glass, metals, stones, leather and wood enable her to offer an astonishing variety of collaborations with institutions, major brands and other artists.

From cabinetmaker to jeweller, whilst the medium has changed, Martin Spreng originality and dexterity remain, as does an exuberance of materials brought together through chiselling, each contributing texture, lustre or colour. His creations frequently combine coloured gemstones, fine gold, white gold, platinum, white or oxidised silver, and now titanium, in a harmony that is his own secret.

His unique pieces reveal the approach of an artist moved by the beauty of precious materials and evoke lunar, marine or desert landscapes.

His jewellery is exhibited in prestigious galleries in Germany, Austria, the United States and Monte Carlo.

Niki Stylianou studied architecture in Greece and philosophy at the Royal College of Art (London). She entered the world of contemporary jewellery following a career as an architect and designer. For her, jewellery is a means of self-expression, far removed from mere accessories or status symbols.

She co-founded Anticlastics, the association which launched the annual Athens Jewelry Week promoting contemporary jewellery. Editor-in-chief of Autor magazine, she runs a coaching and creativity consultancy, whilst also working on her jewellery collections.

Since 1998, she has been an exhibition curator, has taught and exhibited in Greece and abroad.

Fascinated by geological strata, erosion, and the fragmentation of landscapes, Claire Wolfstirn has for years focused her research on the slow or sudden evolution of the Earth’s morphology.

To capture nature’s strength and fragility, Claire saws metal to its limits, generating a contrast between transparency and density.

Her jewelry and sculptures are on permanent display in several galleries in France and abroad, as well as being featured in numerous publications.

She participated in renowned exhibitions such as Un Vrai Bijou, Dans la ligne de mire, Scènes du bijou contemporain en France at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, and Reflet(s) at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
