Fine Jewellery Spirit
Understand, recognise, pass on the jewel.
Esprit Joaillerie is an independent media outlet born from the vision of Charlotte Wannebroucq, a gemmological expert and member of the Compagnie Nationale des Experts-Art. Here, high jewellery is told through its Houses, creators and signatures, with the precision of an eye trained in expertise. The media outlet also turns its gaze towards the art of living and books, where craftsmanship finds other fields of expression. A rigorous editorial line, driven by the expert eye and the freedom of storytelling.

TASAKI THE JAPANESE MAISON THAT TRANSFORMS AKOYA PEARLS INTO AN ART OF WATER AND LIGHT
Shinju, the Japanese word for “pearl”, is composed of two ideograms. The first, 真, means true, real, authentic.

The entire philosophy of the house is encapsulated in this definition.

Books & Lifestyle
Two sections, a single common thread: know-how. One tells the story through the books that document it, the other through the worlds that share it: fashion, travel, gastronomy, fine craft.
Two ways to extend the gaze, beyond the piece of jewellery.
