COMPLETING NATURE’S PERFECT JOB
“It is not enough to expect a gentleman to pay for the best, you also have to give him what he paid for.” Alfred Dunhill
It was in my first job at Richemont that I learnt the great value of exquisite craftsmanship. In creating MAGIMO pieces, I personally source and select the most unusual and intriguing stones, with the ambition of completing what nature has done by adding elements of design and precious metals to turn natural stones into wearable art pieces.
“Made by hand, with love, to last beyond a lifetime.“
Objects take on new meanings
I don’t believe in the idea of making “more” for the sake of it. Every object has a precise story and “raison d’être”, which goes beyond its material value and carries its identity into eternity.
The human touch
MAGIMO jewellery is crafted by passionate, experienced, talented artisans who have dedicated their lives to perfecting this art. I believe the loving energy infused by their hands carries through to the final customer.
Natural Gemstones
Crafted by the planet over millions of years, natural gemstones are the true expression of nature’s superior skills. Celebrating and treasuring these natural expressions of creativity means celebrating our planet, feeling at one with it as we wear it.
A way of life
Jewellery is art. It is wearable poetry, eternal crystallisation of a moment, the individual expression of a feeling. For me, creating jewellery is a way of life.
THE CREATIVE PROCESS
“Logic can take you from A to B, creativity can take you anywhere.” Albert Einstein
Inspiration
Everything starts with inspiration. I could define that as one of those moments that touch you more than others. A story, a sunset, the hustle of a busy metro station, someone you meet, a fleeting moment that lingers within you.
Design
Led by the story, during the design process elements of natural and human get fused together to form the unique identity of the new piece of jewellery. Wearable art is the mantra. While pleasing the eye, jewellery has to be comfortable for the wearer too.
Creation
Drawn and visualised, our piece of jewellery now has to become real. Moulds are made, organic shapes are cast in precious metals, stones are individually set and securely held in place before a final polish is given by hand. The MAGIMO brand is applied onto every piece, a face with no features to remind us we are all One.
