Jewelry meets light architecture.
Architect and designer Michel Tortel has won numerous international awards.
For decades, his world-renowned work in urban lighting has seduced the world's greatest cities. Among other projects, he designed the main lighting fixtures for the city of Paris and illuminates the Bund in Shanghai.
Michel Tortel has always been a jewelry designer, experimenting and searching for new combinations
With his protean architectural culture, he has opened up new horizons and created a new approach to jewelry, centred on the light of gems.
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. He sets off exceptional gems to create unprecedented plays of light, allowing them to be contemplated from every angle.
For him, style and form are not an end in themselves; they flow from this strong vision, making his collections unique for their structured, limpid and light design.
The design of each jewel is based on the light of exceptional gems to dress the skin with lightness and transparency.
All pieces are handcrafted in 18-carat white gold. They are designed as works of art to touch the heart and soul.
This architect's vision is a unique and iconic signature.
