A very famous Shanghai-based marketing firm came to me for design inspiration and production of
some corporate gifts to be given to their best employees in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the foundation of the company.
I decided to use both logos currently used by the company and make them the top part of some rings that
would also be meant to be used as a stamp because stamps play an important role in Chinese business culture.
I also gave them the idea of personalizing the rings by designing a special plate under the bottom part of the shank
that would have each of their employees’ names engraved mirror image so they could be used as a stamp.
I was born in a country of icy winters and warm-hearted people, and my passion for fine armors brought me to the Montréal school of jewelry in which I started practicing techniques that were meant to make it possible to design and create some of the most intricate and beautiful armors in the world.
During an internship in the best and most respected jewelry company in Canada, Henry Birks & Sons, I got noticed by then chef d’atelier Monsieur Alain Marcel for my steady hands and raw talent.
After being employed as a polisher by Birks, I opened my fine jewelry atelier in vibrant Shanghai, where I made hundreds of clients’ engagement and wedding jewelry among others and consulted with some of the most respected companies in the world of luxury, like Piaget.
In 2009 I also started teaching the craft of designing and creating jewelry, taking my students to a professional level. As for today, my dream of fine armor design and creations still lives on…
