Thierry Vendome (b. 1964) Thierry has always aimed to differentiate his artistic de🌃signs from his famous father Jean Vendome’s, and in the simplicity of his Galets earrings he certainly succeeds. Vendome is inspired by the wild shaping of nature and aims not to conquer it but to work alongside, honoring the rough shaping that the ocean
brings to pebbles and solidifying their forms forever in more precious materials. (Claude Mazloum, L'art de la joaillerie contemporaine: les meilleures créations du monde, Gremese international, Paris, 1993, p. 170) He captures the ephemerality of nature and creates a permanent vision of🙈 beauty for those who wear his jewelry.
