about us
we are cœur brisé ™
and like every broken heart, we are bold and passionate cœur brisé is a london-based label for artisanal, one-of-a-kind jewellery, merging digital design and contemporary fabrication methods with natural, biological processes.
our designs are the outcome of a detailed digital exploration, aiming to create contemporary, yet timeless pieces of jewellery. our background in architecture allows us to explore unique forms & intricate designs, sophisticated but unlike any ordinary.
each piece is carefully custom made and fabricated in belgium and the uk, using 3d printing and only high-quality, solid cast metals. not plated, not vermeil; so that they last a lifetime.
following a multi-step process, each piece is meticulously fabricated to order; our crystallised models are designed following forms that allow the biological process of
crystallisation to occur naturally on the surface of the metal.
each piece of cœur brisé jewellery embodies a unique journey from digital exploration to a beautiful statement piece.
cœur brisé jewellery is a trademarked name
our crystallised jewellery are registered designs by the intellectual property office uk
the process
-
design
everything starts with a sketch; we do love digital design tools, but every idea is born in a piece of paper
our forms are inspired by nature, the soft curves of cycladic architecture, the fluidity of water streams
-
computational modelling
our geometries are then explored digitaly, using computer-aided design tools & algorithmic modelling tools, merging maths, technology & science
-
fabrication
this process is a series of steps that include 3d printing our geometries in wax, casting them in solid metals & finally hand-polishing carefully each piece
our story
-
what we do
the idea of combining crystals with precious metals came after some
experimentation aiming to create new fabrication methods. we never knew that it would lead us to a series of registered designs of jewellery -
how it started
the brand started as a project initially with the ambition to funnel our creative energy into something that would make us feel empowered & enable us to transform our imagination into pieaces of wearable art
-
who we are
architect, designer & creator
the face behind the design, digital modeling & every creative process required to create this unique collection of jewellery.
each item is a piece of our heart
