Twelve years after the birth of our Nymphéa model, an icon of our house inspired by Monet's work, the story is renewed. True to this quest for serenity and fleeting nuances, our new creation Giverny redefines the contours of this nature that is so dear to us.
Giverny is a living interpretation of nature. Designed exclusively in 18K gold, it captures the suspended moment when the sky is reflected in the pond.
FROM CANVAS TO JEWELRY: THE GENESIS OF GIVERNY
• A Painter's Palette: A chromatic dialogue between sunny yellow sapphires and milky diamonds with misty reflections.
• An Organic Composition: The stones, of varied sizes, seem to float. They follow the rhythm of the water and the changing sparkles of a blooming garden.
• The Art of the Invisible: Beneath the surface lies the secret of its lightness. Complex openwork and fine gold filaments intertwine like lily pad roots, ensuring a perfect balance between aesthetic finesse and technical prowess.
Each piece is a unique work, handcrafted, faithful to the craftsmanship of our workshop.
Chrystelle, founder and artist jeweler of TBA, trained and graduated with honors from the Émile Cohl school, applies her drawing knowledge to the composition of a sketch, oil painting to the chromatic association of colors, and sculpture to the execution of wax volume, all on a medium sized for jewelry.
CHRYSTELLE'S VISION — ARTIST JEWELER & CO-FOUNDER
"Over 12 years ago, I envisioned Nymphéa, a sculptural and symbolic ring, born from a deep love for the plant world and Claude Monet's impressionist paintings.
This model, inspired by the tranquil strength of water lilies, its flowers, already combined sculpted metal, striated textures, and a central stone evoking the shimmering surface of water.
In 2026, after months of work, I pay homage to this first piece with a new creation, more airy, luminous, and free: Giverny.
An interpretation still inspired by floating flowers, reflections in water, and the shifting palette of the master of Giverny. Each ring becomes a miniature painting, composed of eight unique stones, all with different sizes and colors.
" Claude Monet's work has always touched me with his unique way of interpreting nature: poetic, peaceful, and deeply alive.
With Giverny, I wanted to recreate a part of that emotion through jewelry. "
Like an Impressionist painter, the stones are like touches of color from a Pointillist. Each chosen nuance is a nod to the vibrant and ever-changing nature that Monet never ceased to paint.
Almost twenty-five years ago, art history and the teaching of a passionate professor profoundly shaped my perspective.
I developed a sincere love for sculpture, figurative pictorial art, and, more particularly, for Impressionism.
Giverny is a continuation of a world shaped for almost fifteen years: a search for beauty mainly inspired by Art and nature, far from trends, driven by the conviction that as long as there is beauty to contemplate, we will continue to create."
