The Apocalypse's Horsemen
It is in the context of cocktail rings, created for clandestine evenings between the wars, at the origin of cocktails, that this project unfolds.
He denounces and represents unconventional themes of jewelry, here through the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
It addresses sensitive subjects such as famine, or unrepresented like the conquest, the war. This collection is therefore an important means of expression and with even more developed freedom. It reveals imposing rings to depict themes as old as they are current.

This ring represents the Horseman of Conquest, victory, triumph. It is intended to be pure and clear as a sign of flamboyance and success. It is inspired by the V for victory as well as laurel wreaths and victorious flags.
This ring represents the Horseman of War, violence, and the bloody and profound side of war. She wants to be sharp, powerful and dangerous. The detail of the black mother-of-pearl among the stone blades recalls the blood dispersed during the clashes which flows along the ring and therefore the finger.
This ring represents the Horseman of Death. It is dark, and also represents illness by the raven and its ribcage emblazoned on the right side of the shank. The ribbon, surrounding the stone which represents the virus, the parasite, represents the ribbon of cancer.

This ring represents the Horseman of Famine by its different causes. It shows inequalities, climate issues, wars and inaction. It translates these issues into two different cut opals, one floral and open, the other one buried under drought and thorns, in the shadow of the main opal.
