COLLECTION INSPIRÉE

BY THE TREES OF PARIS

En tant que bijoutière passionnée par la nature, je m’inspire des arbres de ma ville pour mes créations. Et quoi de mieux qu’une histoire pour illustrer mes propos… c’est au croisement d’une rue parisienne que je rencontrais un Magnolia blanc. Il était d’un vert profond qui contrastait avec la pureté de ses fleurs blanches. À partir de ce jour-là, j’ai voulu immortaliser cette rencontre en créant un bijou qui ne me quitterait jamais. 

Avec cette collection, je souhaite exprimer ma gratitude aux arbres qui nous transmettent leur énergie. Je suis sûre que vous trouverez dans cette édition limitée la pièce unique qui créera votre propre histoire et lien avec un arbre de Paris.  

Différentes techniques de fabrication

"Les Arbres de Paris" is my second collection, consisting of earrings and pendants. I’ve used two techniques :

  1. 1. Chiselled brass, plated with gold or silver.
  2. 2. Recycled brass, painted with cold enamel.

Étapes de fabrication pour la deuxième technique : 

  1. 1. Cleaning and sanding the recycled brass.
  2. 2. Transferring the tree design onto the metal.
  3. 3. Marking with a centre punch and cutting with a saw.
  4. 4. Smoothing the edges with a needle file and sanding (grit 240 to 1000).
  5. 5. Soldering the 925 silver post with the appropriate tools.
  6. 6. Eco-friendly cleaning (using salt and vinegar).
  7. 7. Preparing the surface (grit 1200) for the enamel.
  8. 8. Applying the enamel, drying between coats.
  9. 9. Final lacquer (drying for 10 hours).

URBAN TREES PROVIDE MANY ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS

Collection Les Arbres de Paris. La Forêt

1. Reducing air pollution :

Urban trees can capture up to 1.3 kg of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) per tree each year. In Paris, this represents a significant amount of pollutants absorbed annually, contributing to better air quality for residents.

2. Thermal regulation :

Trees can lower the ambient temperature by 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, which is particularly beneficial during heatwaves. The trees of Paris help to reduce the urban heat island effect, improving thermal comfort in summer.

3. Biodiversity and ecological corridors :

 Trees and other green spaces in the city create habitats for a variety of plant and animal species. In Paris, initiatives to create ecological corridors connect different habitats, supporting urban biodiversity.

4. Stormwater management :

A mature tree can intercept more than 10,000 litres of rainwater annually, reducing the risk of flooding and relieving pressure on urban drainage systems. In Paris, this contribution is essential for the sustainable management of water resources.

5. Mental and physical well-being :

Access to green spaces and the presence of trees in urban areas are associated with reduced stress, improved mental health, and increased physical activity. Parisian parks and gardens are cherished places of relaxation and leisure for both residents and tourists.
