Michel Tortel is a lover of color and history. He sculpts the intangible, such as light and shadow, warmth and emotion.
His vision as an architect is guided by the idea of simplicity, of stripping away the superfluous to get to the essential. He loves to play with transparencies, reflections and tonalities.
For him, style and form are not an end in themselves; they flow from this strong vision, which makes his collections unique in their structured, limpid and light design.
This architect's vision is a unique and iconic signature.
A SKILFUL GEOMETRIC ARCHITECTURE THAT REVEALS THE BEAUTY AND SENSUAL LIGHT OF STONE.
Here's the incredible natural light of our jewels simply illuminated by the sun.
Their open, transparent architecture reveals the infinite beauty of color blends in a ballet of lines and reflections that will play on your skin.
JUST THE ESSENTIALS, EMOTION AND CONTEMPLATION.
The creator
Architect and designer, Michel Tortel has won numerous international awards. In 2024, he was named one of the 100 french designers who put france on the world map. Between iconic contemporary houses, furniture and even helicopters, his wide range of knowledge and expertise has been formed over several hundred projects.
His world-renowned work in urban lighting has seduced the largest cities in the world for decades, placing him at the heart of our daily lives. He is the author, among other things, of the main luminaries of the city of Paris and illuminates the Bund of Shanghai.
Sensitive to the preservation of the planet, he designs all his products so that they have the longest possible life in order to reduce the consumption of resources.
Passionate about stones, a great collector, he has always been on the lookout for exceptional pieces, taking advantage of his many trips to the four corners of the world to meet extraordinary craftsmen, lapidaries and suppliers of gemstones.
His passion has its origins in childhood when during holidays, he traveled around France with his family in search of old mines or sites indicated on old gemological guides kept by his mother, a great lover of minerals.
This taste for exploration has never left him.
OUR COLLECTIONS
Our universe begins with six collections designed to showcase new ways of contemplating the light of gems. They explore conceptual ideas, coiling into poetic stories of travel and love.
Our creative heart is the ring, the jewel of kings. Its language is then used to dress the body and illuminate the skin.
Our collections are not ephemeral; we create over time to caress the essential.
Most of our pieces are unique, because the same stone is never used twice and, above all, because the stones we use are rare and each piece is harmonized stone by stone.
Our collections are made exclusively of rhodium-plated or palladium-plated 18-carat gold.
