An imaginative nature inspires the latest jewels of Solange Azagury-Partridge ♦ ︎
She now has boutiques in London, Paris and New York. An astonishing achievement for who is considered a jewelry rebel: Solange Azagury-Partridge is one of those designers who can not set. Indeed, it often scandalizes the world of the most traditional jewelery. Though she is self-taught. “Born in London, conceived in Casablanca,” she tells about herself, from Sephardic Jewish parents with Spanish and Berber roots. In the 1960s they emigrated from Morocco to London. Couturier Jaques Azagury is her cousin and in the nineties he also designed some dress for Princess Diana.
Solange’s first jewel has been her engagement ring, which she designed herself: a rough diamond on a gold band. It was the 1987. She then made her experience at Butler & Wilson, a London fashion house, and later at a retailer of old jewelry. But even though she was just born, the seventies have remained in her heart. Her jewelery could be called psychedelic, with pieces that takes the most imaginative forms, as in the collection inspired by imaginary spaceships. But also nature, as in its most recent creations.
