AnTOinE CAmUS
Antoine Camus is an alchemist of sorts, transforming sculpture,
architecture and paintings into made-to-measure, colored stone
jewelry dedicated to the woman who doesn’t allow life to dictate
her choices. Alongside Place Vendome, he imagines and develops
a world of his own, that of a contemporary designer in keeping with
the times.

BiJOUX COmmELin
in the 19th century, under Emperor Napoleon iii, Théodore Commelin
set up a workshop in the heart of Paris. Today, Philippe Commelin’s
grand niece, isabelle Latour, has sustained the legacy of her grand
uncle, employing in the their workshop the last few master enamel
craftsmen to produce the miniature jewels for which Commelin has
since become renowned. in 2006, Commelin became one of the
first French companies to be awarded the “Entreprise du Patrimoine
Vivant” appellative. in 2008, Commelin received the prestigious
French jewelry label Joaillerie de France.

mArChAk
Marchak liberally makes use of artistic techniques such as pâte de
verre or gold plaiting (which uses tiny articulated chains to give
jewelry an appearance of being as soft as feathers) to create made
to order and numbered one-of-a-kind pieces. Founded in 1878 by
the “Cartier of kiev”, Joseph Marchak became one of the Russian
Empire’s most recognized jewelers, supplier to the Tsar, and the
undisputed rival of Peter Fabergé. in its 131st year, Joseph Marchak’s
great grandson, Daniel Marchak, with aid of longtime senior designer
Bertrand Degommier, continues the revival and growth of the
esteemed French house.
