HISTORY
Family workshop
The history of my family is intimately linked to the creation of jewelry. A story that goes back to my maternal greatgrandparents, who owned a jewelry store. In the fifties, my grandparents created a jewelry workshop in Paris, in the Marais district. [Lire la suite]
The family workshop, housed in a former Parisian apartment, is both a private apartment and a workshop. The space is huge, bright and very colorful. As decoration, thousands of boxes of transparent beads arranged on shelves adorned the walls.
In the center of the room, a multitude of tables lined up on which jewelry tongs were placed, to drill, twist, close, twist, various components: stems, clasps, wire …
I loved this place, this working atmosphere, so quiet.
Wire, tongs, pearls…
Originality was already present, especially in the shapes and materials’ choice: large beads, silk knots, Swarovski crystal beads, fluorescent beads, linen threads, shells, paper beads, wood… [Lire la suite]
Experimentation was in the center of the creative process and imagination had no limits. A design style where atypical materials and colors, had a place of choice, and especially original compositions were widely invited in this laboratory of ideas… because in the workshop, everything can be subject to create.
Two collections for the highlights of the year, frequent creative proposals, a pioneering spirit, gradually shape the style of jewelry. High-end fantasy, top-of-the-range designs, associated with original, colorful, innovative, unusual, unique… and very beautiful jewelry!
Aventurine, a gem and many adventures!
A gem with many virtues, combined with a dose of adventure and the Aventurine sign was born by my parents’ impulsein 1998. Aventurine expresses a new approach on the jewelry design. [Lire la suite]
The selection of jewelry is close to the spirit of the family Business: bold, artistic and contemporary pieces. Subtle and astonishing associations of styles,shapes, materials, colors… an artistic approach, a sharp sense of style, the taste of beautiful things, how could I have resisted?
Belonging to a family of designers, I was attracted by creation and I always loved trying new things… At this moment, I decided to join the family adventure, with the creation of new Aventurine’s shops.
Aventurine… and me
I wanted to perpetuate this family tradition, so I looked for designers, for unique accessories and find «The piece» expected by the women who entered Aventurine’s shops. The possibilities were endless!
I started by meeting designers, personalized our relationships and selected jewelry for you.
When I choose jewelry, I imagine your reactions during the first visual contact with the jewel: fascination, interest, surprise, amazement, interrogation, amusement…
I like the spontaneity that motivates the choice of a jewel, the irresistible, irrepressible desire to wear it. Because you have not seen it elsewhere, because it gives you confidence, because you are not afraid to be different and daring. Finally!
“I like jewelry, but sometimes one piece is enough” and this rare, elegant, contemporary, atypical, playful, timeless, stylish, incredibly beautiful piece can only be found at Aventurine’s shop. It’s my quest, my grandal. My dream when I was a child was to return to the workshop… And that’s what I did, in my own way.
