Jewelry artist and visual artist, Clémentine Despocq approaches jewelry as a medium for stories and emotions. With a dual background in fine crafts and design, she trained in both traditional and contemporary jewelry techniques before studying product design. Since 2017, she has been handcrafting pieces that explore materiality, where mother-of-pearl meets metal. Through experimentation, she plays with contrasts of form and color in search of harmony, creating hybrid jewelry. In parallel, she develops a more sculptural practice, where jewelry becomes an artistic language.

For 25 years, Agnès Dubois has championed a contemporary vision of jewelry, emphasizing the connection between art and craft. She sees jewelry as a plastic medium where creative gestures extend into the act of wearing, turning objects into silent narratives. Her works reveal the body through essential presence, focusing on balance, sensoriality, and the cohesion of body and space. She explores the relationships between object, movement, gesture, emotion, and the wearer, creating pieces that resonate beyond first glance.

Ana Escobar Saavedra is a multidisciplinary Colombian artist living and working between the UAE and France. Through jewelry, sculpture, and installation, she explores emotional and material relationships between people and objects, addressing identity, migration, memory, and life-and-death rituals. She holds a Master in Visual Arts (Object, Jewelry, and Material Culture) from MASieraad Amsterdam and PXL-MAD. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including in the UAE, Colombia, Argentina, China, Australia, the US, and various European cities.

Caroline VOLCOVICI, a jewelry artisan, first studied contemporary jewelry in New Zealand, where the spirit of “Bone Stone Shell: New Jewellery New Zealand” (1988) had a lasting influence on her vision of contemporary jewelry. She lives in Paris, where she founded the OBJET RARE studio and gallery, intended as an exhibition space for contemporary jewelry created in France. She is a member of “La Garantie,” an association for jewelry, and of the association D’un bijou à l’autre, organizer of the Parcours Bijoux triennial in Paris.

Julie Usel, a Geneva-based jeweller, explores repetition and imitation through unexpected
materials, repurposing them to create moments of surprise. Populated by fantastical creatures,
her work aims to rekindle childhood wonder. A graduate of the Royal College of Art and Haute
École d’Art et de Design, and recipient of the Swiss Design Grant, she exhibits internationally.
Her pieces are held in public collections like MUDAC and featured in reference books such as
500 Rings. Storytelling lies at the heart of her practice: she gives form to the intangible in
wearable objects that capture the attention and resonate beyond the first glance, inviting a
lasting poetic encounter.

Amira Sliman, trained in industrial design at the École des Beaux-Arts in Tunis and AFEDAP, founded her contemporary jewelry gallery in Paris in 2003. Her approach, inspired by architecture, balances forms, materials, and colors. Drawing on nature, she favors stone, wood, and feathers. For her, jewelry goes beyond ornament: it creates a link between body and world. Each unique piece, conceived as a life chapter, reflects her intimate relationship with the environment and materials.

“Marion Colasse likes to materialize the intangible, to transpose reality until her interpretation transforms it into a “jewel.” Her pieces, often produced in small series, are the translation of an experience, to which she gives multiple forms, multiple languages. Material is not an end in itself but a starting point. Besides metal, which predominates, she regularly experiments with new materials, depending on her surroundings.
