Unique pieces, colors, quality stones: the art of true French jewelry in the repertoire of Arteau ♦ ︎
Take off an M at Stéphane Marteau and you will have one of the finest French jewelry houses, Arteau. Since 1954 the French brand has continued a family tradition, because, as the chronicles recount with a hint of irony, the designer “from his earliest age infests his father’s workshop, jeweler before him”. Only that the jewelry company first worked for the big French brands. But after having produced for third parties, like many of his colleagues, Stéphane Marteau decided to launch his jewelery production. And high class. Arteau uses so many noble and colored stones that come from half the world, from Sri Lanka to Namibia. Even the style is exclusive, but always in the wake of tradition. Colors, but combined with sensitivity. And next to the creativity of the sketch still used today, to the traditional means that have been kept in the artisans bags for centuries, now are also computers for Cad design. But what matters is that the realization is still entrusted to the ability of the hands and every jewel retains its uniqueness. The pieces for sale in the Place Vendôme atelier in Paris are among the most exclusive jewels you can find today. Giulia Netrese
