The creation

Hi folks, 

Now that we immersed in the studio let's see how the amalgam of idea and talent  give a unique jewel. 

To me, the best representation of art and creation is made by Rimbaud in the following poem. 

J'ai embrassé l'aube d'été.

Rien ne bougeait encore au front des palais. L'eau était morte. Les camps d'ombres ne quittaient pas la route 
du bois. J'ai marché, réveillant les haleines vives et tièdes, et les pierreries regardèrent, et les ailes 
se levèrent sans bruit.

La première entreprise fut, dans le sentier déjà empli de frais et blêmes éclats, une fleur qui me dit son nom.

Je ris au wasserfall blond qui s'échevela à travers les sapins : à la cime argentée je reconnus la déesse.

Alors je levai un à un les voiles. Dans l'allée, en agitant les bras. Par la plaine, où je l'ai dénoncée au coq. 
A la grand'ville elle fuyait parmi les clochers et les dômes, et courant comme un mendiant sur les quais de marbre,
je la chassais.

En haut de la route, près d'un bois de lauriers, je l'ai entourée avec ses voiles amassés, et j'ai senti un peu
son immense corps. L'aube et l'enfant tombèrent au bas du bois.

Au réveil il était midi.

Arthur Rimbaud

Translation: 

I have embraced the dawn of summer.

Nothing yet moved in the palace façades. The water had died. The camps of shadow did not leave the wooden path. I have walked, awakening warm and lively breaths, and the gemstones watched, and wings rose up without a sound.

The first order of business was, on the trail already filled with pale and cool light fragments, a flower that told me its name.

I laughed at the golden waterfall that frenzied itself across the fir trees: at the silvered chime I recognized the goddess.

So I raised one by one the veils. In the alley, agitating my arms. In the plain, where I denounced her at the cock crow. In the city she fled among the bell towers and domes, and running like a poor man on the platforms of marble, I chased her.

At the road's summit, near a laurel wood, I enclosed her with her amassed veils, and I smelled a little her immense body. Dawn and child fell at the bottom of the woods.

Upon waking, it was noon.

Arthur Rimbaud, translated by Moineau

In her own way, Barbara made also an amazing representation of art, creation and jewelry

Inside

Let's break in the artist world ! 

I went to Barbara's office a few days ago and I understood a whole new conception of jewels. 

In fact, a ring or a bracelet can be more than a simple match to a dress, it can be art. 

Jewels can have this little thing that make you love them. 

I believe that not wanting to take off a necklace under the shower happened to must of us. 

As well as keeping the same ridiculous pink bracelet for 3 month because this little object means something. 

Well, some jewels are indeed more than simple object and Barbara knows how to personalize every piece she creates. 

Earring

New earring by Amzallag Bijoux

Barbara keeps the same spirit while designing her new jewels: Only one piece... 

Rock and classy perfect for tonight ;)

Unique..

This year Barbara will work, for the first time, only on her jewels. 

As an artist, she decided to design only unique jewels. 

Barbara's jewels are exclusive.

Here is a good way to be noticed at a fancy party ;) 

The first draft

Like the city she calls home, Barbara’s creations are a reflection of intersecting yet harmonious elements. She draws equally from the linear world of architecture and the amorphous forms of nature.

Photos, both mental and literal, are taken and collected every day, everywhere: the entrance of a building, the buckle on a shoe, some dried branches, peeling birch bark. Each piece finds its resolution when these two worlds strike a balance in metal form.

Aesthetically, Barbara’s jewelry is contemporary, bold, and understatedly elegant

`

She delights when the piece does not betray its process, the hand of the maker merging, even disappearing, into the material. 

But her modern sensibility does not preclude a traditional and historic sensitivity. 

 Amzallag, Barbara’s paternal family name, literally means ‘makers of chains,’ a cultural inheritance she embraces and celebrates.
