ORGANIC VIBE 
Proliferation | Metamorphosis | Spontaneity 

Dive into Céphéide Joailerie universe where form and texture blend in a perpetual dance of transformation. The Céphéide Joaillerie jewelry collection celebrates the very essence of change, capturing constant evolution through soft shapes and fluid lines that embrace the contours of the body. Each piece in this collection embodies a metamorphosis in itself, ready to change form at any moment, just like nature. Inspired by the organic forces of life, the jewelry seems to come alive, evolving with the wearer, reflecting a harmonious symbiosis between art and the body. 

Through ancient artisanal techniques, each creation is an exploration of dynamic creativity. Sculpting the material to create spontaneous pieces that transcend the pre-established boundaries of jewelry, inviting those who wear them to discover a new dimension of personal expression. Proliferation is a vital force that pulses through each of my pieces. Inspired by the cycles of growth and renewal observed in nature, this collection celebrates abundance, with each piece breathing life, evoking a sense of vitality and expansion. Discover the artistic odyssey where metamorphosis and proliferation become the constants of my expression. 

Céphéide Joaillerie draws its creativity from the crossroads of beauty and the strange. Each piece evokes intense emotions to express unspoken desires. Stones and silver converse and intertwine to give birth to these creations. Communion, passion, jealousy, possession, curiosity, temptation, obsession, modesty, etc. Imbued with the jewelry, our creations feel these different facets of desire. 

Water, a fundamental and inspiring element, plays a significant role in my creations and artistic direction. It embodies both fluidity and randomness, which are deeply tied to my creative process. 

Through fluid shapes, my jewelry evokes the freedom of water’s movement. This aspect reflects the growth and constant transformation found in nature. Furthermore, the formal link between mold and water lies in their shared propensity to evolve unpredictably. Indeed, mold spreads and propagates irregularly, giving rise to organic and unexpected shapes. In the workshop, the use of hot, liquid wax allows me to mold my jewelry in a spontaneous and random manner.  This liquid essence is also present in my artistic direction. I strive to capture it through images of wet bodies. Water droplets bead on their skin, reminding us of the proliferation and organic movement of my creations. 

The development of my pieces is rooted in a process rich in emotions and freedom of expression. 

The beginnings of my creative journey date back to the exploration of decomposing fruits. This theme revealed a captivating aesthetic potential, where organic form and proliferation shaped my initial artistic reflections. This style offered me an unparalleled sense of freedom, an escape into a universe where creation expresses itself without constraints or pre-established rules. These soft, liquid shapes and proliferating beads allow me to explore this artistic path with exhilarating spontaneity. Letting my instinct take the lead is a necessary freedom in my life as an artist, an outlet where I can freely express my emotions and feelings. Thus, the jewelry evolves gradually, without constraints or doubts. I primarily work with wax. Instinctively, I carve and shape the material before heating it, giving birth to unique sculptural pieces. My stones, set askew, and the irregular settings add a touch of authenticity and character to each piece of jewelry, reflecting my desire to challenge the conventional norms of jewelry making.
