ABOUT PHILORINO
FRENCH CRAFTSMANSHIP WANDERER SPIRIT
We have always been deeply convinced that fulfillment in the artistic journey not only comes from the fertility of one’s inner imaginary but also from our ability to capture the world’s richness and diversity.
For this reason, further than sourcing our inspiration within different cultures and artistic spheres, we always ourselves travel to find the unique gemstones we use into our jewels.
Our will of creating unique pieces thus resides in every steps of the whole process.
EMPHASIS ON UNICITY
Both of us always try to reflect on the importance of authentic feelings. In particular when it comes to sensitivity to what is beautiful.
Choosing a jewel is like being struck by lightning. Jewels can be considered lovers since they compose a sort of harem you live with, show off with, and develop jealousy towards. That’s why Philorino comes from the Italian say filarino, meaning a naive flame.
Each of our jewels is created by hand using ancient techniques of finest jewelry. It embodies the achievement of a long creative journey, through dozens or hundreds of hours of labour.
Every one of our pieces is hence charged with a certain energy, radiating towards the world.
A LOVING SYNERGY
While Luz sculpts wax, Stevane shapes metal and sets stones. The process of creating a piece of jewelry involves such an amount of steps that our complementarity is the driving force behind our collection.
The first stepping stone to creating a new jewel is most of the time a spontaneous idea one of us gets from daydreaming. We immediately share it to each other in order for it to settle in the real world. Luz draws the jewel, and we choose the material together. During the making of the object, we consult each other at key stages. Basically Luz initiates the production by creating the ring body. Once it’s casted, Stevane solders the different pieces and sets the stones. At last we choose a name for the jewel and imagine its legend…
