The Art of Discovering, Evaluating, and Sharing

"For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by treasures that transcend time: antique jewelry, works of art, and gemstones. What inspires me above all is the encounter between a piece and its history — that invisible thread which makes it both unique and precious.

To refine this vision, I immersed myself first in Art History, then in Gemology. My PhD on antique and modern prints, my years at the Musée Dobrée in Nantes, my time at the National Chamber of Art Experts and at Christie’s, taught me to combine scientific rigor with aesthetic sensitivity. At the National Institute of Gemology, I sharpened my expertise in recognizing the quality, authenticity, and value of jewelry.

Today, I bring this passion and knowledge to my clients. Each jewel or object I select is chosen with the utmost care — for its beauty, rarity, and the emotion it conveys. My goal is simple: to make art and jewelry accessible to those who, like me, see in each piece far more than an object, but a story to be shared."
