Noble Ring By Philippe Tournaire
|
Today, Philippe Tournaire does not hesitate to use ancestral, even archaic, techniques to create hand-sculpted jewellery, while also incorporating modernity using new technologies. The combination of the two very different techniques gives the final piece an incomparable result.
He is proud to say that he has never been formally trained as a jeweller; it turned out to be fortunate, as it gave him the opportunity to keep a genuine open mind. A more surprising fact is that Philippe Tournaire has a degree in electronics!
For a decade or so, he worked alone in an abandoned cellar that he converted into an atelier. As he modestly says, “I wasn’t looking to make any profit, thus I was able to create with complete freedom of expression, just the way I felt like doing it.”
