Christine Escher, Creative Director for La Joaillerie Récréative (or “The Recreational Jewelry”), has been creating unique and elegant jewelry since 1985 when she opened her first boutique in the chic Fauborg Saint Honoré quarter of Paris. Her collections feature blended precious wood, gold, diamonds and semi-precious stones into such remarkable pieces as the “Meridienne” ring (an ebony volute inlaid with diamonds), which won her the 1998 Diamond DeBeers Award.

Christine creates handcrafted, limited production pieces, using only precious and semi-precious stones whose “soul” resonates with her. Poetic and feminine, La Joaillerie Récréative pieces are worn like second skin.
