The jewelry of Marie Poniatowski, the creator of STONE is modern, accessible and easy to wear. Light and infinitely poetic, her precious jewels are similar to the ornaments of the Victorian era that she loves so much.
The diamond, dazzling without being ostentatious, often treated in micro cut, reigns supreme. Gold is fashioned like spidery lace. The dormeuses, these earrings typical of refined 19th century adornments and formed by an element suspended on a curved gold rod, became the emblem of the House.
Its pendants, rings and bracelets are inspired by travel souvenirs, architectural elements and fragments of nature, so stylized that they transform into contemporary motifs. The presence of dark gold and black diamonds gives some of her jewels a dark beauty, accentuated by motifs from the world of music. Between rock and romanticism, some suit both girls and boys.
In 2001, Dominique Chevalier, an antiques dealer, decided with an Iranian friend to initiate the renaissance of the carpet, to create the antiques of tomorrow. So began a series of trips to Iran to find motivated artisans capable of reviving ancient techniques, then forgotten. Since then, Parsua has offered Persian rugs made as in the 17th and 18th centuries, with hand-spun wool, exclusively natural dyes, knotting done by expert hands, and a patina in water and in the sun. Beyond this eco-responsible approach, Parsua also responds to an often difficult request: finding beautiful old Oriental rugs in precise dimensions and colors.
L’Artisan Parfumeur was created by Jean Laporte in 1967. He wanted to combine ancestral knowledge and contemporary creation.

Since that the brand has collaborated with the most famous noses : Bertrand Duchaufour, Olivia Giacobetti, Jean-Claude Ellena, Karine Vinchon, Michel Almairac and Elisabeth Maier, to create original and out of the ordinary fragrances.
