A jeweler and visual artist based in Paris, Clémentine Despocq sees jewelry as a precious medium for conveying stories and emotions. She shapes and creates her jewelry by hand while challenging her materials. Pearl meets metal, becoming a material conducive to metamorphosis. Despocq pierces, cuts, and dresses pearls using tools and techniques that she develops as she experiments. Confronting opposing shapes and colors in the search for perfect harmony, she creates hybrid jewels that fuse a variety of techniques and influences.
