In the rose gold saxophone earrings, I have transformed the instrument's profile into a tiny yet recognisable shape. The vertical line of the body alternates openings, solids and small reliefs, creating rhythm without weighing down the design. When worn, the earrings hang from the lobe with a slender presence. The polished surface of the rose gold highlights the details and keeps the subject legible even in its compact proportions.

The initial meeting is used to define shape, proportions, materials and feasibility before developing the design direction.
Saxophones belongs to my archive of completed creations and documents how a passion can take shape through goldsmithing work. For every new request, I start afresh with the person, the chosen subject, the proportions and the way it is to be worn. I thus redesign every element so that the initial inspiration leads to an autonomous solution that is consistent with the person who will wear it.
The project was born as a graduation gift from parents to a saxophonist. I chose to start from the instrument that accompanies her musical journey, retaining its essential features. I was not looking for a technical scaled reproduction. The brief asked to maintain a recognisable musical character without reducing it to generic decoration. I wanted to create balanced earrings, capable of linking a personal milestone to a form that can be worn with ease.
I developed the volumes using 3D modelling and prototyping to check the overall reading of the silhouette in advance. Lost-wax casting then transfers the design into metal. I intervene with burin engraving, polishing and quality control. In 18-carat rose gold, I look for a sharp definition of details without losing the fluidity of the line.
Since 2009, I have guided private clients and couples through the creation of their jewellery in my atelier. Over thirty years of goldsmithing experience guide every stage: listening, design, workshop, quality control, and delivery. Awards, mentions, and accolades tell the story of the artisanal, technical, and creative journey that underpins my work. Each badge links to an in-depth article on the blog.
Let's start with a recognisable subject and define scale, shape and presence on the face together to create new bespoke earrings.
The initial meeting is to clarify desires, materials, structure, timelines, and feasibility. It doesn't require an immediate decision.
