Noble Ring By Philippe Tournaire

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.”
His solo voyages to Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the US, brought him a great deal of traditional savoir faire along with an understanding of modernity, thus allowing his audience to better comprehend the originality of his jewellery, the roots of which go back some 38 years.
