Art Jewellery
Solid Silver and Palladium White Gold
Pieces sculpted from solid, forged and shaped
by Isabelle Bénatouil, Jewellery Artist.
In her studio in Lisbon, Isabelle Bénatouil creates exclusive pieces full of character.
Crafted from solid silver 950 and 750‰ (18K) palladium-plated white gold – both recycled and RJC-certified –
her pieces are primarily adorned with carefully selected natural materials: Tahitian pearls, mother-of-pearl, coral and natural gemstones.
Each piece is sculpted, forged and handcrafted by hand, without any casting or moulding. Artistic
jewellery that speaks for itself and works towards the conservation of sea turtles.
The leatherback turtle is her totem and her source of inspiration.
Perfection is forged, character is worn.
PROUDLY.

Eco-responsible choices
To help protect the environment, I choose eco-friendly materials.
Recycled metals sourced from RJC-certified suppliers. FSC® and ISO 14001-certified packaging, made from recycled materials. Trees are planted for every order I receive.

HUMANLY.
Meet the Designer
It’s me, Isabelle Bénatouil, the hand behind each of your pieces. As a self-taught jewellery artist, I craft each piece handcraftedly without any casting or moulding.
My approach is based on ‘slow luxury’. I take the time to create so that I can offer you sturdy pieces that will last a lifetime, and be passed down to future generations.
I work with solid silver 950‰ and 750‰ (18K) palladium-plated white gold, chosen for their respect for the environment and, by extension, for all living things.
Mutually.
Trust, values and dialogue
EXCLUSIVELY.
Your desire. Your piece.
Our collections express our inspiration. Bespoke pieces express yours. An idea, a sketch on the corner of a table and we make it yours.
