Michel Tortel has won numerous international awards.

His internationally renowned work in urban lighting has captivated the world's largest cities for decades. Among other projects, he designed the main lighting fixtures for the city of Paris and illuminates the Bund in Shanghai.

Passionate about stones and a great collector, Michel Tortel has always designed jewellery, experimenting and searching for new combinations. Breaking new ground with his multifaceted architectural culture, he has created a new approach to jewellery, centred on the light of gemstones.

Michel Tortel is a lover of colour and history. He sculpts the immaterial, suchas shadow and light, warmth and emotion.

His architectural vision is guided by the idea of simplicity, of removing the superfluous to get to the essential. He likes to play with transparencies, reflections and tones. He showcases exceptional gems, creating incredible plays of light and allowing them to be admired from every angle.

For him, style and form are not an end in themselves, but stem from this strong vision, which makes his collections unique with their structured, clear and light designs.

The design of each of his pieces of jewellery is conceived around the light of exceptional gems to adorn the skin withl ightness and transparency. When he creates a bespoke piece, he approaches the project with a holistic architect's
approach to achieve total symbiosis between the jewellery and the person who will wear it.

All pieces are handmade 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.
