A striking jewelry brand, at the crossroads of punk, brutalism and contemporary art

"Inspired by the Bauhaus school , by radical artists like Pierre Soulages, by the raw poetry of Patti Smith and by the savagery of The Clash, I seek to provoke an aesthetic shock, to disturb as much as to seduce, to bring out an unexpected beauty in what may seem ordinary."

Manifesto jewelry

I create jewelry that doesn't try to please everyone.

Concrete, a raw and unexpected material, becomes a testing ground. My goal? To reveal its poetry.

Each piece of jewelry is a statement: that beauty can be born from contrast, from the unexpected, from the improbable.

These are radical pieces, manifesto jewels that loudly assert a personality, a vision, a freedom.

These jewels are not simple accessories.

They carry within them an attitude: refusing the conventional, assuming audacity, appropriating the strength of materials.

To wear them is to assert one's independence, one's taste for the original, one's desire to be unique. To tell the world: I'm not trying to please, I'm trying to be .

Concrete: a lightweight and versatile material

This may come as a surprise, but concrete is a lightweight material (see the blog post on this subject) . Lighter than glass, it is perfectly suited to jewelry.

Depending on how it is worked, concrete can have different textures ranging from a rough and mineral appearance, if it is natural and lightly sanded, to a polished and dark appearance, like a precious volcanic stone, if it is tinted black in the mass and varnished.

Who am I?

Self-taught in jewelry, with a first professional career as a researcher in biology, I also have a very varied artistic background: photograms, graphic poetry, collages and painting. All my creations are part of an approach of transgression of codes. Jewelry imposed itself on me a few years ago as a new mode of expression, allowing me to transmit my artistic universe in a more personal, more intimate way. I chose concrete for its aesthetic qualities but above all for its ability to surprise. I created my jewelry brand "Icy Mouse" in 2020. I obtained the status of Artisan d'art in 2022.

My scientific training allows me to develop my own techniques through experimentation. Jewelry making with concrete is an almost unexplored field, everything is to be invented and that's what I like.

I make all my pieces entirely by hand in my Parisian workshop.

Bauhaus: a major influence on the brand

The brand's aesthetic universe is deeply inspired by the principles of Bauhaus, an artistic and architectural movement founded in 1919 in Germany by Walter Gropius. This movement advocates a minimalist, functional approach focused on simplicity, favoring harmony between form and function. Bauhaus creations are distinguished by simple shapes, clean lines and the use of primary colors, reflecting a concern for economy and functionality. This influence is manifested in the creations of the Icy Mouse brand through the geometric shapes of the jewelry, which, combined with texture and shine effects, aim to generate a new aesthetic experience.
