To me, the term evokes the worlds of jewelry, fashion, and luxury all at once. Paradoxically, it also points to the ability to create pieces that go beyond jewelry: you can work on shoe buckles, hair ornaments, dresses! Not just earrings or necklaces.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A parurier is the link between concept and realization. With a jeweler\u2019s and goldsmith\u2019s skills, he works closely with the designers of fashion houses to develop an element, whether it\u2019s a piece of jewelry, buttons, part of a bag clasp, or a belt buckle. Together we refine the design so that it relates to the clothing collection being developed alongside it. Some projects never get beyond the prototype stage; others are seen only on the runway; and still others pass into the hands of industrial manufacturers, who produce limited editions for sale in boutiques.<\/p>\n"}]}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"flexible_images","images_list":[{"acf_fc_layout":"two_column","one":{"first_image":{"ID":37754,"id":37754,"title":"260825 Philippe

First of all, I would say it comes from my mother, who painted regularly. She had a real sensitivity to color, form, and materials. She always encouraged me to draw, and she helped me get into the prestigious \u00c9cole Boulle. From quite an early age, I was also drawn to the decorative arts, history, heritage, architecture, and textiles. A taste for beautiful things, as they say! And I was lucky enough to love drawing and to feel at home working in three dimensions, through sculpture and modeling.<\/p>\n"}]},{"interview_heading":"What experiences and encounters led you into this field?","interview_answer":[{"name":"P","answer":"
I studied goldsmithing for five years at the \u00c9cole Boulle in Paris. The training was fairly academic, but it marked a real turning point for me. I wanted to find a profession where I could put what I had learned to use, while exploring both creative freedom and traditional craftsmanship. At the time, I was less interested in fashion itself than in the world of luxury and the chance to create unique, truly singular pieces.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In 1991, I met Jacques and Yasmine Hurel in Paris, who worked as paruriers. Meeting them and seeing firsthand what their work involved proved decisive for me. I think you learn best by doing. With them, I learned to develop my expertise and technical mastery, but also to trust my own aesthetic judgment and my skills as a craftsman.<\/p>\n"}]}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"flexible_headings","headings_list":[{"acf_fc_layout":"heading_large","large":"Unique Creations, Shaped by Hand"}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"flexible_images","images_list":[{"acf_fc_layout":"one_column","image":{"ID":37755,"id":37755,"title":"260825 Philippe Grand-217_s","filename":"260825-Philippe-Grand-217_s.jpg","filesize":828946,"url":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/260825-Philippe-Grand-217_s.jpg","link":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/editorial\/philippe_interview\/260825-philippe-grand-217_s\/","alt":"","author":"5","description":"","caption":"","name":"260825-philippe-grand-217_s","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":37749,"date":"2026-11-05 01:21:36","modified":"2026-11-05 01:21:36","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1784,"height":1189,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/260825-Philippe-Grand-217_s-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/260825-Philippe-Grand-217_s-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/260825-Philippe-Grand-217_s-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/260825-Philippe-Grand-217_s-1024x682.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":682,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/260825-Philippe-Grand-217_s-1536x1024.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/260825-Philippe-Grand-217_s.jpg","2048x2048-width":1784,"2048x2048-height":1189}},"comment":""}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"flexible_interview","repeater_interview":[{"interview_heading":"How important are the choice of materials and the techniques you use in your work?","interview_answer":[{"name":"P","answer":"

The first person who comes to mind is Monsieur Christian Lacroix! He was the first to give me a chance, commissioning extraordinary jewelry from me for his haute couture collections. This year, at the newly opened Fondazione Dries Van Noten in Venice, it was very moving to see jewelry I had made for Christian Lacroix on display.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then there are the medals I made for Chanel, which remain a wonderful memory. There have also been encounters with people like Camille Miceli and Nathalie Gourdon, two very different personalities, but both driven by the same passion for jewelry. With Camille, I made extraordinary pieces for Vuitton and Dior; with Nathalie, for C\u00e9line (during the Phoebe Philo era), Tom Ford, and Balenciaga.

are the different stages involved in making a brooch?","interview_answer":[{"name":"P","answer":"
First, I surround myself with inspiring photographs and objects, and stones, of course. Then drawing becomes important, always at full scale (1:1). I may also sketch out a form in wax or modeling clay. After that comes either 3D modeling or hand-sculpting in wax. These are the most important stages. They determine the presence of the brooch and its weight (it is very important for a brooch to be light!).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once the wax has been turned into bronze using the lost-wax method, I fit the pin mechanism that gives the brooch its function. The last stage is the metal finish. For this collection, everything is gold-plated over bronze. Some pieces also have a black metallic finish, similar to a patina, which will evolve over time as the brooch is worn.<\/p>\n"}]},{"interview_heading":"What do these motifs represent for you, and what story do you want to tell through them?","interview_answer":[{"name":"P","answer":"
