Where Serti Sur Vide All Started….
The collection started at a time when I had already done my first signature pieces.
It was the first time I had decided to use stones.
So theres a lot of consciousness about how they work on the body, but theyre also minimalistic.
you might wear a tiny diamond, and if that little thing moves with you, its a statement.
The whole point was:Look at my ring.
I love the juxtaposition of the very clean with something antique looking.
So Serti Sur Vide was born with that first ring, which was worth 1.5 million euros.
It sold almost immediatelythough I had actually worn it at my first Met Gala.
The only jewelry I had on was that ring.
It was maybe difficult for people whore used to bling to understand what I was wearing.
Maybe they thought it was fake [laughs].
