Custom pieces

Creating your signature piece

The process:

Custom design is all about connection and communication. A highly personalised piece of jewellery is necessarily an experience of co-creation. I start by asking questions about lifestyle, personal taste and the occasion for which the piece will be made.  After an initial phone or video call, an email correspondence follows to share images, sketches and computer drawings before confirming a design. It is a straight-forward process that results in the creation of an artful one-of-a-kind piece. (that faithfully and indelibly captures a significant aspect in one’s life.)

THE PIECES:

PLATINUM PENDANT

Canadian diamond and platinum.

A gift to herself.

After years of giving to family and work, Louise chose something for herself. Designed around a Canadian diamond and made in platinum, this pendant brings together enduring materials for a piece intended to be worn and treasured for generations.

 

ANNIVERSARY RING

Diamond set in  yellow and white gold.

A milestone celebrated through symbolism.

Created to mark Linda’s 40th wedding anniversary, this ring began with her desire for a four-sided diamond — one side for each decade of marriage.

As an artist herself, Linda wanted the piece to emerge through a creative collaboration. Together, we developed a one-of-a-kind ring that reflects both the significance of the milestone and her appreciation for thoughtful, original design.

WEDDING BAND

24 karat gold inlaid in black niobium.

A search for the perfect ring finally resolved.

Philippe came to me in search of his ideal wedding band. After more than a year of looking, he discovered my work with niobium and gold and saw the possibility of creating what he had been unable to find elsewhere.

Together, we developed this sleek, futuristic wedding band, combining black niobium with 24k gold inlay — a one-of-a-kind piece that was exactly what he had imagined and been searching for.

CELEBRATION

Heirloom diamonds, 14 karat gold and sterling silver.

A personal milestone celebrated on her own terms.

Maryse’s passion for jewellery led her to me with a very personal wish: to mark her retirement by giving herself a ring celebrating more than 40 years of achievement in her field.

Her heirloom diamonds were incorporated into the design, illuminating a delicate pattern of gold lace. A piece created to honour a career defined by dedication, perseverance and professional accomplishment — and a milestone she chose to celebrate for herself.

MOROCCAN DREAMS

Colourless natural diamonds titanium and sterling silver.

A design boarn from adventure and artistic inspiration.

Born in the desert of Morocco, this design draws on the building blocks of my Chroma collection, assembling colourful titanium discs around central points of diamond brilliance.

Inspired by the ornamental curves of Moroccan architecture and the meditative geometry of astral mandalas, the composition plays with colour, movement and concentric form to create a piece that is both contemplative and sensual.

Graduation Bracelt

Diamond, niobium, sterling silver and stainless steel.

An heirloom transformed for a new generation.

Antoine brought me an heirloom diamond that had belonged to his grandmother, hoping to carry a piece of his family with him as he graduated from university.

I reimagined the diamond in this contemporary bracelet, pairing it with black diamonds, niobium, sterling silver and stainless steel. Designed around a one-of-a-kind clasp, the bracelet became a personal heirloom for a new generation.

Wedding bands

Custom 20 karat green gold with titanium and volcanic rock.

A memory that stays close to them.

On a faraway beach, Sylvie and Patrick collected a handful of small black stones. Those stones would later become part of their custom wedding rings.

Set into my custom-made green gold and titanium, the volcanic stones are a reminder of that place and the precious moments they shared there — memories now embedded in the rings themselves.

Engagement/wedding ring

Colourless and black diamonds with black niobium, titanium and sterling silver.

Different parts of a life brought together in one piece.

This multi-layered ring was created for a working mother of two, with each band representing a different part of her life.

The silver and diamond bands represent her children; the titanium band with its single diamond recalls a lost engagement ring; and the black niobium band set with black diamonds represents herself. All are intertwined in one ring, bringing the different parts of her life together in a piece she never takes off.

Diamond crystal necklace

14 karat white and rose gold one octahedral and two cubic natural diamond crystals.

A commision built on trust and complete creative freedom.

This pendant was commissioned by Valerie, a former student and jewellery shop owner, who gave me carte blanche for the design.

I chose to celebrate the natural forms of the three rough diamond crystals — two cubic and one octahedral — setting them within a structured composition of rose and white gold. It was an honour to be given such complete creative freedom.

Sapphire engagement ring

Colourless natural sapphire, forged titanium and sterling silver. 

A couple coiled together, their relationship held at the center.

This dual forged titanium and silver coil ring is set with a colourless natural sapphire and was created as a representation of the couple who commissioned it.

Sapphire is an excellent choice for a ring: exceptionally hard and durable enough for everyday wear. Here, the strength of the stone and the two metals forged together became a fitting representation of the enduring relationship.

Cluster engagement and wedding band set

Repurposed and new diamonds, white and rose gold with a yellow gold encrusted titanium band.

A former engagement ring transformed to celebrate ten years together.

Four diamonds set in white and rose gold with a removable adjacent band also highlighting a diamond – a bouquet of brilliance created for Pascale by salvaging and redesigning her former engagement ring.

Stacking ring collection

Heirloom and new diamonds with 14 karat white gold.

Heiloom jewellery update to reveal her style.

Five inherited diamonds were repurposed and set in this collection of stacking rings, with a striking line of pavé diamonds added to one band.

Remodelling Sophie’s mother’s and grandmother’s jewellery allowed her to honour its matrilineal history while transforming the pieces into something entirely her own, updated to reflect her personal style.

Diamond ring

Titanium, fine silver and heirloom diamond.

A family diamond that suites everyday life.

Fabienne wanted something new for her diamond, passed down through generations; a ring she could comfortably wear every day.

The smooth grey titanium band, with its fine silver inlay and sleeve, provides a sleek setting for the burnish-set diamond. Practical and understated, the ring keeps her family close while fitting seamlessly into her life.

Dream flag puzzle ring

18 karat yellow and white gold.

A sacred symbol as a personal expression of faith.

This puzzle ring is based on the sacred geometry of the Buddhist Dream Flag, a symbol that has a purpose described with the words, “Wherever this banner is flown, the Dharma will flourish.”

Created for Stéphane, a practising Buddhist, the ring became his personal way of carrying that symbolism with him and letting the Dharma flourish around him.

Men’s wedding band

Titanium, carbon fibre and 14 karat white gold.

A wedding band designed for Yves.

This sleek, modern wedding band combines carbon fibre with titanium, held together by eight hexagonal, bolt-like rivets. The strength and durability of the materials make it well suited to an active lifestyle.

Created for Yves, both a builder and a biker, the industrial character of the ring reflects something of the man who wears it.

QR code bracelet

Leather with sterling silver.

Wearing a business card.

Computer printed in sterling silver and mounted on wide bands of leather, this semi-futuristic bracelet was created for Simon to showcase his art.

The QR code is integrated directly into the design and links to his work – jewellery that does away with the need for business cards.

Cardiogram wedding bands

Titanium with laser engraving.

Personal, captured on wedding bands.

These titanium wedding bands were engraved with each partner’s own cardiogram, creating a personal record of their individual heartbeat.

Inside each band, the exact coordinates of their place of birth add another layer to the story — where each life began, brought together in the rings they now share.

Green and colourless diamond ring

Natural colourless diamonds, green irradiated diamonds and 18kt white and yellow gold.

Simply for the pleasure of wearing it.

Inspired by luscious and sensual styling, this ring brings together green and colourless diamonds with the warmth of 18k gold and a soft, velvety finish.

Created for Louise simply as an indulgence, it became one of her favourite rings.

Lavender chalcedony ring

Fine silver and lavender chalcedony.

A design built for a gem.

This stately architectural design was inspired by the high dome of the square cabochon itself. The robust silver construction creates a pedestal for the generous volume and soft colour of the lavender chalcedony.
