Portrait of Annie Roussel

I started my post-secondary studies in arts before heading for literature, which resulted in me being immersed in ancient manuscripts for several years. Two old research companions, creative writing and my magnifying glass, eventually invited themselves into my art. I use my own literary creations in both pyrography and jewellery making. Written in tiny letters, they become textures and lines rather than signs carrying meaning, and this minuteness creates intimacy between the work and its viewer.

For my jewellery, this microscopic writing is combined with a desire to eliminate the value hierarchy of precious stones and metals. Rust or silver, bark or diamond, I believe everything nature offers should have the same status: that of a treasure. I like to contrast truth and make-believe, to show that beauty resides more in the stories of things and people, therefore in their scars, their imperfections, their vulnerability, rather than in the value judgment made from the outset by society.


Upkeep

Perhaps you have ever wondered how to take good care of your silver jewelry? With this little trick, you will see that it is child's play. Rather than using a liquid or a paste like for silverware - products that can damage your jewelry in the long run - you can simply use a cleaning and polishing cloth intended for this purpose.

When you find that your jewelry has lost its luster or has started to tarnish, hold it in one hand while you polish it with the fabric in the other: your jewel will become like new again!

Creation process

Annie Roussel, a skilled jeweler, excels in the artisanal creation of solderless .925 silver bangles. Her method begins with a precise calculation of the inner and outer dimensions to ensure a perfect fit on the wrist. After cutting a circle from a silver sheet, she heats it and then hammers it entirely by hand, repeating this reheating process up to three or even four times to achieve a perfectly malleable and homogeneous material.

The absence of soldering offers several notable advantages. On one hand, it eliminates weak points that can occur at soldered joints, ensuring exceptional durability and increased resistance to daily wear. On the other hand, this technique provides the bangle with unparalleled comfort, as the continuous metal surface prevents any irritation or discomfort against the skin. Additionally, the sleek and fluid design of these bangles makes them both elegant and timeless, perfectly suited to contemporary demands in terms of style and quality.
