What’s on my Santa list this year? The only piece of Tutti Frutti inspired jewellery from @cartier made in North America! On display at the Bloor Street salon, this necklace was handcrafted in their New York atelier. The ultimate gift for any collector, I’d style it casually, but elevated, with white denim and a white linen tunic or tailored hoodie— allowing glimpses of its highly considered and striking colour palette peek through to the keen eye 🤍 💚❤️💙🤍. After all, who says a jewel like this can’t be worn and enjoyed daily? 😏

Also admired were delightful panther motif matchstick sets, elegantly scented candles, charming porcelain wares, and stacks upon stacks of solid gold bangles 🤩

What are you dreaming of for the holidays? ☃️🎁

An example of cross-pollination: @karinarikun is the creative director and set designer for @almakarinastudio, the Paris-based photography duo whose work has become highly recognizable in the high jewelry world. Florals are almost always used in her creations - she trained and still collaborates with acclaimed florist Louis-Geraud Castor. For this project, she was intimately involved with the entire design of the bracelet; we thought it would be interesting to apply her perspective as someone who deals with finished jewelry to the design process. Taking cues from her surrealist approach to nature, Karina fused two types of vegetation together, the Bird-of-Paradise flower and palm leaf, to form one otherworldy floral graphic. We juxtaposed this central motif with rock crystal links inspired by the French Art Deco movement. Go to stories to see how the team worked with Karina to arrive to the hybrid flower.

L'un des exemples les plus évidents de notre approche hybride fut la participation de @karinarikun dans le design du bracelet. Karina est directrice de création et scénographe pour @almakarinastudio, une référence en matière de photographie de joaillerie. Compte tenu de l’expérience de Karina avec les bijoux finis, il semblait interessant de la faire participer a la création du bracelet ainsi que la direction artistique photographique du bijou fini. Suivant sa vision surréaliste de la nature, Karina a fusionné deux types de végétation: le strelizia - ou oiseau de paradis, et une feuille de palmier, pour former un motif floral d’une dimension parallèle. Les maillons en cristal de roche s’inspirent du mouvement Art Déco Français.

[LINK IN BIO— CROSS POLINATION] The bracelet from our experimental work with @millieandnoahjewelry and artists @karinarikun (@almakarinastudio), @rosesaneuil, @michaelpeuster, and @sara_bran_gold_lace. This 3-year project was heavily influenced by @millieandnoahjewelry founder Jen Tran’s unique background; she spent her career in biotech after completing a Ph.D. in cancer research and business school. Her approach to jewelry is reminiscent of her days in the research lab.

Our hypothesis was that having everyone involved throughout the creative process, rather than their portion of the project only, would foster creativity by challenging each other’s thinking. This cross-pollination concept manifests itself through the floral species realized by mixed-media marquetry in the center of the bracelet. The rock crystal links, which take their inspiration from the French Art Deco movement, are molded to the shape of the wrist and are accentuated with carre-cut diamonds. Hidden beneath the gold lace and diamond accented back is a special stone sourced exclusively from Oman. When misted with fragrance, it slowly diffuses its smell for months.

We are thrilled to share this experimental project

We are thrilled to share this experimental project with @millieandnoahjewelry and fellow artists @karinarikun (@almakarinastudio), @rosesaneuil. @michaelpeuster, and @sarabran. Realizing a piece of jewelry requires a team of experts but these people normally work in isolation from one another. Here, we take a different, hybrid approach, with each team member involved along the entire process. This concept takes form with an imagined floral species, a hybrid of a bird-of-paradise flower and palm leaf. More details on our journey to follow…

Nouvelle collaboration expérimentale avec la maison de joaillerie Américaine @millieandnoahjewelry et équipe d’artistes @karinarikun (@almakarinastudio), @rosesaneuil @michaelpeuster, et @sara_bran_gold_lace. Lors de la réalisation d’un bijou, le joaillier, le sertisseur, etc. travaillent habituellement de manière isolée, chacun ayant un rôle prédéfini et clairement délimité. Dans le cadre de ce projet, Millie and Noah assemble une équipe diverse pour expérimenter une approche hybride au service de la conception d’une piece reflétant l’esprit de son travail d’équipe ayant comme motif une fleur imaginaire, hybride d’un oiseau de paradis et d’une feuille de palmier. Plus de details a suivre…
