SUN LAPIS
A New Chapter
Egyptian culture has always been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for me, especially when I create important jewellery pieces. In its symbols, beauty and profound sense of harmony, forms seem to emerge naturally.
It all began with a lapis lazuli. Its intense blue brought me back to my first encounter with Egyptian art at the Cairo Museum.
With these new SUN creations, I rediscovered that same emotion: the balance of colour, rhythm and light that has always fascinated me.

The Blue of the Gods
The ancient Egyptians called lapis lazuli Khesbed and associated it with the heavens, the sacred and eternity.
Its deep blue, illuminated by golden flecks, adorned precious jewellery, royal ornaments and ritual objects. A symbol of prestige, protection and wisdom, it was reserved for the highest figures of Egyptian society.
Perhaps this is why lapis lazuli continues to captivate us today: within its blue reside light, history and imagination.
