THE MAISON IN IMAGES
Images and their origins.
Jewellery design and the reality of the craft remain at the heart of this presentation.
Pascal and the workshop
Pascal’s portrait, the image of tools and elements of his family history come from the supplied brochure. The phrase ‘Every great passion opens onto infinity’ appears in that brochure; it is used as an expression of the Maison’s spirit, without attribution to an author.
The jewellery
Detail images and specifications come from Catalogue V2. Original images have been extracted and optimised for display. Original views may show a different gold colour from the selected variant.
Pascal in Lecce
The portrait of Pascal in Lecce was provided by the Maison for this presentation. Its content is preserved without creative retouching.
Destinations and jewellery settings
The settings for the collections and individual designs are AI-created editorial illustrations based on catalogue jewellery and additional references supplied by the Maison. They are inspired by towns and villages in Puglia; they are not documentary photographs taken in those places. Catalogue references are retained in the Maison’s archives.

Geographical references: Italia.it — Puglia and the Itria Valley. The journal’s eight stops were chosen by Pascal: Lecce, San Foca, Torre dell’Orso, Roca Vecchia and the Grotta della Poesia, Sant’Andrea, Otranto, Baia dei Turchi and Melendugno, his father’s town. Their links with the collections are editorial pairings.
Photographs of the places
