Isabelle Kapsaskis

It was my numerous trips to South America that allowed me to experiment and learn several jewelry making techniques and awaken in me a passion that would later become my profession. Back in Montreal after these trips, I enrolled in the jewelry crafts program at the Montreal Jewelry School. It was at this time that my love for warm countries gave rise to the inspiration for my first graduate collection in 2010. My travels between Mexico and Argentina, during my school career, opened my outlook on life. There I discovered an artistic approach that would accompany me for years to come. The creation of my jewelry is always inspired by the timeless and natural beauties that I have encountered during my travels, which allows me to keep this close link with them and to pay homage to them. From now on, my job would combine artisanal know-how and my love for exotic escapades.

I create as I travel with the same passion, and this raw energy is found in my pieces. I am in contact with everything around me and I then transmit it in my textures, shapes and colors. The heart of my work lies in the exploration and evolution of shapes and contrasts. It is by manipulating, forging and twisting the metal that the very essence of my jewelry is born.
