Catalogue Note
British designer Solange Azagury-Partridge began her career when she made her own engagement ring in 1987, and has been creating striking, modern jewels ever since. After opening her eponymous London shop in 1995, Solange also spent three years as Creative Director for the Parisian firm Boucheron. Examples of her work can be found in permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, as well as the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Always on the cutting edge of style, blending her pop-art sense of color with edgier dark metal and rose-cut diamonds, Solange’s designs are unmistakable. Thoroughly modern, but always with a nod to the past, her designs embody the cool-girl vibe of London, New York and beyond.
