Each jewel tells a story. First, that of its creator, who infuses his life experiences into his creations. Then, that of the wearer, who appropriates the piece to write his or her own story.
The Mediterranean as a breeding ground for creativity
L'Exception has a crush on the very young house Jade Venturi, which draws inspiration from the Mediterranean to create its collections. The designer with Italian origins transports us into this sunny and warm universe. The house is also committed since it uses recycled materials to make most of its jewelry.
The house Elise Tsikis offers colorful and bright jewelry. The founder , with her eponymous name, draws her art from her Greek origins and the celebration of miscegenation. The mix of Greek and French cultures inspires her creations, which blend raw stones with modern style. The house is committed to its work, donating 1 st of its annual profits to approved 1or The Planet associations.
Fiction and memories as sources of inspiration
The Louise Damas house, meanwhile, draws inspiration from fiction for its designs. The founder of the same name draws her ideas from the heroines of literature that have marked her through her reading. Her collections pay subtle homage to these characters and transport us into their imaginary world full of femininity and poetry. Made in France, her jewelry is a guarantee of quality.
At Gisel B., it is childhood memories that drive the house's creativity. Founder Clémence Masson pays tribute to her grandmother Gisèle, a former seamstress by trade, who encouraged her at a younger age to develop her creativity. She developed her attraction to materials and handiwork alongside her grandmother, which is why the brand is now defined around quality local craftsmanship.
History as heritage
L'Exception is fond of the house Arthus Bertrand, strong of its 200 years of recognized family know-how. The house takes its name from Arthus Claude Bertrand, an officer in the imperial army, who in 1889 created expertise in the art of medals, the striking and enameling of decorations and the making of prestigious trophies. The house celebrates its historical heritage that gives its pieces a certain charisma.
Show me your jewelry, and I'll tell you who you are
Jewelry is a ceremonial object that underscores the wearer's identity. Just like clothing, it allows one to present oneself to the world, to assert one's style and personality. This is why L'Exception chooses houses full of character, which the wearer can reflect by wearing their creations.
Sobriety and power
The house Orner offers jewelry symbolizing harmony, combining sobriety and power, delicacy and robustness. The founder, Hiroko Omori, wishes to meld these two seemingly antinomic energies to create a unique identity for the house. L'Exception loves collections with a minimalist style, mixing leather with mineral.
Assembly and minimalism
Like Orner, the The Gramme creations draw strength from their minimalism. The simplicity of these jewelry pieces allows the wearer to make unique and personal assemblages and thus express their style. Le Gramme creations are manufactured in France, guaranteeing local and less polluting craftsmanship.
Femininity and Audacity
At Bonanza Paris, the identity of the house lies in asserting femininity in an audacious and ostentatious manner. From thick gold creoles to elegant twisted mesh chain bracelets, the wearer of Bonanza creations is not afraid to sport imposing jewelry. The brand has a clear philosophy: its jewelry is meant to be massive because it is there to be seen and assumed. The house's workshops cultivate quality know-how and master the manufacturing steps from A to Z.
Intimacy and subtlety
The house Médecine Douce sees jewelry as a very personal, intimate, and subtle object. The bohemian and multicolored style of the creations marks the uniqueness of the house. Choosing a piece of jewelry from this house means taking care of yourself and others. Jewelry soothes our bodies like the gentlest of medicines.
Local craftsmanship and know-how: a necessary return to the roots
L'Exception pays special attention to houses that place the human and creativity at the heart of their work.
The preciousness of time
The house of Elise Tsikis builds its collections instinctively, starting with the material, without bending to trends or diktats. All of the house's pieces are handmade in its Parisian workshops in the 14th arrondissement. The brand advocates human values and seeks to establish production times adapted so that the artisans can best express their creativity and passion. For the house, it is necessary to give time to time to create the most precious jewelry.
Less but better
At Monsieur Paris, a house driven by a desire for simplicity and conviviality, all jewelry is thought up by designer Nadia Azoug, then handcrafted by the passionate jewelers in the Parisian workshop in the boutique for all to see. The house makes most of its jewelry to order, for an ever more authentic experience.
This is also the philosophy of the house of Médecine Douce, which makes its creations in its workshops in the heart of the Canal Saint-Martin, in reasoned quantities to avoid waste. According to the house, making by hand and in small quantities allows a proximity between the craftsman and the buyer, and puts human values back at the center.
The values of craftsmanship, guarantees of authenticity
Gisel B.'s signature lies in the singularity of its pieces. The house specializes in cultured pearls, which it constantly revisits to make them ever more fashionable. The house likes to use the pearl in its rawest form. Finally, the house of Arthus Bertrand designs its pieces in French workshops of Haute orfèvrerie. The quality of its craftsmanship lies in its exceptional heritage and strong legacy. The house's sense of prestige grants a precious style to its collections.
The visit to our virtual jewelry box is coming to an end, we hope you enjoyed it. At L'Exception we continue to unearth rare pearls and we look forward to sharing them with you soon.
