This necklace is part of the series entitled “The Nature of Things,” which began in 2019 and in which Sigurd Bronger draws inspiration from elements found in nature and everyday life, even if these elements do not seem, at first glance, to be obvious choices for jewelry design: they remind us of the fragility of nature and life. Here, water is literally encapsulated in a metal module, like a reliquary, allowing this precious liquid, without which life would never have appeared on Earth, to be passed on to future generations.

Now on show at the gallery LA Joaillerie par Mazlo, Paris.

As a true « heretic », Gisbert Stach has chosen to appropriate this legendary stone, once a symbol of power and prestige, but now associated with a dusty vision of jewellery.
The titles of his works sound like excerpts from the menu of a food-truck: Golden toasts, Schnitzel, Fritz’s snack, Gold fingers, Calamari Fritti and other Sushi unveil as simulacra of the most popular dishes of urban cuisine, often associated with Fast or even Junk food. Transgressive as it may be, Gisbert Stach’s approach does not derogate in any way from the principles of technical mastery and illusionism dear to collectors of Mirabilia. However you will not find any trace of the original amber in his works. The precious material is there literally pulverized and crushed, before being mixed with silicone and sprinkled like bread crumbs on the surface of pins, which invite themselves more to be biten than to be worn. For Gisbert Stach, derision is a way of revisiting our relationship to jewellery as an investment object (emotional, sentimental, material?) and of questioning our value system. Jewellery has indeed always occupied a place of choice among the remarkable works collected and preserved in cabinets of curiosities. But at a time when jewellery is finally freed from the diktat of preciousness and of its value of placement, can one still consider it as a marvel, as a possible heir of artificialia? » – Céline Robin, in an introduction to Gisbert Stach’work on the occasion of the « Mirabilia » group show at La Joaillerie par Mazlo gallery.

You can now see Gisbert Stach’s « Golden Toasts » (four brooches), at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) as part of the « Constellations : Contemporary Jewelry at the Dallas Museum of Art » exhibition, until 3 May 2026.

« Lluís Comín’s jewellery is inspired by archaeolo

« Lluís Comín’s jewellery is inspired by archaeology, mythology and the aesthetic canons of classical antiquity. But they are also inspired by the raw, harsh and rugged beauty of Nature, which this inveterate walker explores on foot. They convey a certain philosophy of Life, where communion and confrontation with Nature unite in a single movement to allow the individual to be born to themselves and to others. From this perspective, jewellery appears as the tangible expression of a dual process of transformation of matter. The inert matter of the object, put into action during the act of creation. Then the living, inner matter of the artist who, by submitting to solitude and the asceticism of work, transforms his sensations, memories and experiences into an autonomous work, now external to himself. » – Céline Robin about Lluis Comin’s work in « Sacrés Outils! ».

Come and discover a selection of early and recent works of the Catalan master, currently on show at the gallery.

Lluis Comin | No Title | Brooch | 1980.

Currently on display at @la_joaillerie is a hybrid

Currently on display at @la_joaillerie is a hybrid work combining photography, design, and jewelry history, as part of photographer Hector Olguin’s solo exhibition:

1350°C
Set of nine brooches and their box/case, 2017.
Light oak wood, black velvet, felt, porcelain, metal.

The 1350°C project was born out of a collaboration between Hector Olguin, a French-Chilean visual artist/photographer, and Cynthia Ayral, a French designer/set designer, who shared a common interest in eroticism.
This project combines Japanese and European references: the tradition of cameos and that of Shunga (erotic prints from the Edo period, 17th-19th centuries). Produced in three copies, this work questions the elusive nature of eroticism, considered as an intellectual construct: a path leading to desire. Combining mixed techniques, this hybrid art object consists of a case containing nine oval photographs printed on porcelain.
Their author, Hector Olguin, draws inspiration from the world of Shunga, and more specifically from the reinterpretations made by pop artists in Japan from 1945 onwards. He identifies with the exuberance of the scenes depicted and the “madness of colors.”
In 1350°C, desire is materialized in photographic objects, in contemporary jewelry. Appropriating the traditional form of oversized cameos, these oval photographs break free from their contours. The prong setting frees the motif. The discreet presence of a fibula invites us to appropriate this image as a piece of jewelry. Porcelain is chosen for its sensuality and finesse.
The case containing the photographs is designed by Cynthia Ayral as a sensory journey leading to the image.

Open Call : #tarot | the book As part of its cult

From October 23 to November 29, 2025, the Robert M

From October 23 to November 29, 2025, the Robert Mazlo Endowment Fund for Art and Contemporary Art Jewellery welcomes Héctor Olguin for an exhibition of a new series of photographs at the LA Joaillerie par Mazlo gallery, in collaboration with the Alice Art Foundation, and the Arketip association.

Dos copas mas y te olvido. A humorous title for this project comprising 16 photographs taken in Paris between 2022 and 2024.

This series addresses the theme of romantic breakups by exploring the emotional process that follows a separation. The images convey the multiple states of mind that punctuate this journey.

As Hector Olguin explains, “while all love stories are unique, there is something universal about the experience of a break-up. In the fact of being overwhelmed by a whirlwind of emotions: incomprehension, anger, frustration, despair, emptiness, hesitation, sadness. Then, with time, acceptance, appeasement. Finally, liberation.

The characters in Dos copas mas y te olvido embody these emotions and torments through their gestures, contortions and sometimes grimaces. The body painting reinforces this impression of a marked body, inhabited in its flesh by the memory of the lost loved one.

The narrative does not follow a strict chronology. It is more like an interior space into which each viewer is invited to project their own experiences. Only the last photograph is fixed and closes the series: like a blank page stripped of all ornamentation, it suggests a conclusion as much as it opens up a passage and a possible return to life.
