Earrings made from stones and objects gleaned in Paris since 2020, silent witnesses to this city, its evolution, its collective struggles and its individual histories. They are all fragments of objects or human constructions, returned to the organic state of pebbles. The folded metal ribbon was found in the Marx Dormoy district. The metal flowers and the cuff were molded in wax, then cast in brass and plated with silver in Paris. The gold- and silver-plated chains come from vintage necklaces found at a flea market in Paris. 24k gold-plated brass, nickel-free fittings from Bulgaria and Italy. Unique piece designed and handmade in Paris.
Each fragment is chosen for its weight. Poetry is born from the apparent weight of the stone, yet it seems to float at the tip of the ear that wears it. Earrings may show signs of wear or deterioration, related to the essence of upcycling. These elements are not flaws, but a reflection of the history and process of this jewelry.
Care instructions: avoid contact with liquids (water, perfume, beauty products…), avoid shocks, wipe dry with a soft cloth.
