Sophie Reyre’s design inspiration comes from a list of diverse experiences: traveling through India; studying Chinese calligraphy and gemology; working as a journalist, then novelist; and discovering the works of 20th century masters Fulco di Verdura with his creations of fine gems set in ivory, and Seaman Schepps, an innovator in the use of French new Bakelite mixed with powdered coral, turquoise and other stones as setting for gold and precious stones.

She unites tradition and modernity, translating artifacts from India’s 17th century Mughal rulers into modern jewels of jade, turquoise, coral, onyx and other fine stones accented with gold motifs. The results are bold rings, bracelets, pendants, brooches, earrings and pendants that offer Sophie Reyre’s clientele confidence in their look.
