Look Book Ariane Rocher Jewellery 2013
I started my passion for jewellery at an early age, rummaging through my grandmothers jewellery box was something that I did on a weekly basis and I still find much inspiration from these childhood moments and memories. I studied in Paris learning both classical and contemporary techniques and winning awards for my final collection, before being mentored by renowned jewellery designers; Benedict Aichelee, Sophie Hanagart and Brune Boyer. At the age of twelve, I was in awe of top French designers and had a very strong passion for Boucheron. Coupled with my passion, naivety and determination I decided to write a letter to the celebrated jeweller. And to my sheer amazement he invited my Mum and I to Paris for lunch at the Ritz, followed by a tour of his workshop and diamond vaults. It was the trip of a lifetime and the experience still inspires me today. The design of beautiful jewellery is what drives and inspires me and through my years at University in Paris I naturally progressed to launching my very own collections, which is when ‘Ariane Rocher Jewellery’ was born. My business has been going from strength to strength and I now have a loyal and diverse client base from, Paris to England, and even stretching as far as America. “ My aim is to create jewellery that is playful and versatile; that one can interact with and that becomes a part of you. I am very inspired by architecture, nature, the latest fashion trends and colors, I try and design a new collection for every season by using bold colors, semi-precious stones, pearls, diamonds and precious metals. I have a strong belief that jewels are more than just precious objects: they have a life of their own and each one tells a story. Each piece is handcrafted by myself and is a reflection of my personality and style. My aim is to create jewellery that is playful and versatile; that one can interact with and that becomes a part of you. The Bubble Collection is one of kaleidoscopic colour and glamorous fun, inspired by spherical shapes, each having its own delicate yet bold look and feel. Each piece uses small diamond paved circles that are designed to set these beautiful cabochon cut stones in an inspiring, refreshing and unique way. The beauty of this collection is the vibrant and eye-catching stones used, each with its own vivid colour, drawing you in to some kind of surprisingly wonderful and mystical place. Whether you fall in love with a ring, necklace, earrings or pair of cufflinks from this collection, there is no doubt about its sophistication and style. The Bombay Collection is inspired by a beautiful ring that Ariane’s Nan commissioned Cartier Paris to make for her after the war in 1950.The outstanding beauty of this heirloom ring is what breathed life into the delicate, yet eye catching and totally mesmerising use of positive and negative space within the Bombay design. The proportions and shapes of this Collection are what truly make it something different. Scattered with delicate Cabochon Stones and Diamonds, accentuating the soft dome shape and enhancing the ring’s architectural look and feel. Using ancient Chinese Mother of Pearl game counters in a variety of shapes and sizes, Ariane has created an exclusive range of original jewellery, whilst also paying homage to the master craftsmen whose workmanship generated these intricately engraved works of art. Each of them has been painstakingly hand carved with individual designs that include serene Chinese scenes complete with traditional pagodas and flower patterns. Ariane skillfully crafts the counters into earrings, brooches and necklaces, creating finely engraved jewellery that will complement any outfit with its beauty and simplicity. Another mother nature inspired collection from Ariane Rocher. After being given a beautiful traditional antique rose bush by her Mum, Ariane got the inspiration to cast the branches in silver and combine it with with the delicate touch of a butterfly flutter. The body of the butterfly is imprinted with a traditional piece of lace from the same vintage year as the Rose bush to merge the two elements of this gorgeous design together. The Saturn Collection is one of versatility and fun, designed by using vintage Tule and Lace imprinted on the precious metal, each pattern creating its own interesting and unique personality. The rings stack together in directions of your choice and the necklace can be worn short or long depending on what you are wearing. The beauty of this collection is that you can choose to have it designed in full silver, gold plated, or be more adventurous and mix silver and gold plated bracelets with a few pieces of oxidised silver. However many you decide to choose, making the perfect piece is entirely up to you. The Dentelle Collection was inspired by a fabric pattern from a dress. The design was transformed into a beautiful and delicate silver pattern. This is a very feminine collection, one that is striking and couture in every way. Each piece, whether a bangle, necklace or pair of earrings is a statement piece in its own right. The beauty of this collection is the statement of femininity, with its mystical bubbles that fill the magical half moon shapes, which each emulate a floral impression. Each piece of this collection is designed to complement the wardrobe of any lady with an eye for style and prevailing taste. The Urchin Collection is inspired by the Caribbean Sea Urchin, paying adoration and homage to one of Mother Nature’s most beautiful designs. The beauty behind this design is its ability to retain the original shape and form of its inspiration, while still making it a wearable piece of jewellery.
