An eggshell and silver ring, by Gilles Jonemann. A French contemporary artist, sculptor, goldsmith and jewelry designer, he trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Aix-en-Provence, then at the École des Arts Appliqués in Paris. After completing his studies, he worked between 1967 and 1976 for the contemporary jewelry galleries Gennari (rue Bonaparte) and Sven (rue Saint Honoré), before later collaborating with Jacques Lacloche, then Pascal Morabito. In 1973, he helped found Les ateliers Fontblanche in Vitrolles, then took over management of the goldsmiths' and jewellers' workshop between 1977 and 1995. At the same time, he taught at the Haute école arts appliqués in La Chaux-de-Fonds and Geneva. He also designed jewelry for Per Spook's haute couture collections from 1981 to 1989, and collaborated with Issey Miyake in 1991. Between 1985 and 1995, GRET (Groupe de recherches et d'échanges technologiques) entrusted him with several missions in Nicaragua, Mali, Madagascar and Mauritius to support and develop local crafts. His work is characterized by the poetic and unexpected use of unconventional materials, such as quail eggs, fish scales, coconut and Libyan glass. He transforms them with skill and daring, sometimes obliterating their original identity, sometimes enhancing it. These elements are then combined with precious fragments to create rings, bracelets and pendants that evoke memory and imagination. Based on an idea and under the direction of Pascale Musard, he participated in the creation of petit h for Hermès. He continues to collaborate with Hermès in the creation of objects and jewelry, transforming and diverting materials from the company's know-how, thus extending his research into materials and the poetry of form. Her work has been featured in several major exhibitions, including "Ornementa" at the Pforzheim Museum in 1989, at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1992, and Jewellery Moves at the Royal Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh in 1998. Galerie Naïla de Monbrison devoted several solo exhibitions to her in 1995, 1997, 2000 and 2003, as well as thematic exhibitions with other artists in 2013 and 2016. The Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris is planning a major monographic exhibition of his work for 2029.
