Drawing inspiration from the arts, each of the 160 models in the collection is first designed by Dominique Denaive. From the sketch to the final drawing, several sketches are developed to translate his initial vision into jewelry. After significant technical research on the material effects he will give to the resin, he then supervises the creation of the jewelry. This takes place in his workshop where his team of artisans, trained by him in the specific techniques of working with resin, casts, perfects, polishes, and assembles each piece by hand with meticulous care. This attention guarantees each element constituting the jewelry its unique and rare character.
