BIOGRAPHY : MORGANE IS A FRENCH JEWELLERY DESIGNER BASED IN CAPE TOWN, ON THE TIP OF SOUTH AFRICA. ORIGINALLY FROM CORSICA, MORGANE FINDS SIMILAR EMOTIONS TO HER NATIVE ISLAND IN THIS ADOPTED LAND WITH ITS MAGNIFICENT LANDSCAPES AND THE SPECIAL ATMOSPHERE THAT RADIATES FROM THE CITY.
After studying sculpture at the Beaux-Arts in Marseille, Morgane joined AFEDAP, a Parisian contemporary jewellery design school which was “open to artistic expression” and where she acquired cutting-edge technical skills. These skills resulted in her being selected for a two-year residency at the ‘Ateliers de Paris’ in 2011, which gave her the support she needed for her independent design project.
Later on, she developed a first range of “fun” jewellery, based on the theme of playing in all its forms, which brought her much acclaim in the eye of the public and jewellery professionals.
The adventure had begun! All her designs are the result of a perfect combination between her vibrant inspiration and her ability to master traditional jewellery making techniques. Paying particular attention to the advancement of her know-how, she experiments with materials, shapes and colours to create unique and original pieces. Passionate about her art, it has become her profession. She finds her own way of expressing herself and one can feel her particular love for what she does when she talks about her jewellery:

« Creativity is part of my life. My imagination is a real guide that lets me have fun and experiment and influences my daily life. It is from this inspiration that I create the pieces in my collections.
Each piece is a bit of material that I sprinkle with my personality. Each design is an adventure that combines discovery of my world and the technicality of jewellery. I am meticulous in shaping a piece of jewellery that accurately reflects my image. »
