Always passionate about jewelry, Karine has been happily designing engagement rings for the past fifteen years for her friends and the friends of her friends ... Seven years ago, this Franco-Lebanese Parisian decided that she would make a career out of it. .
No sooner said than done ! While continuing to develop her collections, she took courses in gemology at ING (Institut National de Gemmologie de Paris), then courses in jewelry design at the Ecole Boulle where she learned the technique of gouache and technical drawing. . She then decides to follow the cycle of gemology at the famous Gem-A in London (Gemmological Association of Great Britain), from which she graduated. In 2016, she finally felt ready and created her company!
His jewelry is in his image: simple but elegant at the same time, very Parisian. All her jewelry, with a few rare exceptions, can be worn on a daily basis. It offers a demanding French and international clientele contemporary, classic and elegant jewelry with a zest of fantasy, giving pride of place to atypical diamonds and beautiful materials.
For some time now, she has added a string to her bow by offering vintage pieces that she finds in auction rooms or directly to her clients, with a predilection for the Art-Deco and Art Nouveau period. Brooches are her favorite pieces because, in her opinion, they have the ability to sublimate any little outfit.
Almost all of her jewelry is made in her Parisian workshops, which benefit from a great deal of know-how and work with the most beautiful houses on the Place Vendôme. You will understand: no compromise is made on quality throughout the manufacturing cycle.
A small part of her collection comes from Lebanon because she wishes to continue to encourage the development of local craftsmanship, which in terms of jewelry benefits from a long tradition and ancestral know-how.
Whether it is a Family jewel to transform or secure, an engagement ring (his great specialty) to imagine from a Family stone or to acquire, or a jewel from from her exclusive or vintage collections, Karine always enthusiastically brings her expertise to ensure that the finished piece is perfectly in line with the wishes of her clients.
Specializing in colored diamonds and "atypical" diamonds, she likes to offer high quality stones that go off the beaten track, such as sapphires with alexandrite effect (color change) or gray salt & pepper diamonds, which shine with almost magical glow in his eyes.
Its suppliers are all labeled “RJC Council” (Responsible Jewelry Council), which guarantees the provenance of precious and semi-precious stones and all of its diamonds meet the requirements of the Kimberley process. Finally, 3% of the profits are donated to charities.
