Welcome
Hello, and thank you for visiting my website.
I’m a french jeweller based in Brussels, Belgium. I’ve been passionate about life since ever, and that’s exactly what i keep exploring in my works. I’m attached to old traditional techniques of silversmithing and enameling but I’m also very curious about new technologies from CAD, to laser cutting, laser welding and 3D printing.
I’ve discovered the field of jewelry very lately and decided to go back to school as I was 35 years old. 5 years later I’ve been graduated with 3 diplomas and all distinctions needed, and now, I make jewels. And I feel finally reconciled with myself enough to call me a jeweler. I’m as passionate by the artistic expression as I am in learning techniques, old and new. The result is a perpetual research in combining aesthetics and techniques. I’m also now a former in jewellery at efp-brussels, because transmission is fully connected to passion.
Each of my projects is somehow a challenge for myself and I build myself through each one, step by step. Every piece is fully handmade in my own studio, and there are some for all budgets. I have some pieces in stock but I’m very pleased to work on personal projects, I also can repair your jewels and create new ones from your old ones. So if you ever need a jeweler for a special occasion don’t hesitate to contact me. As I world alone, I’m not that expensive!
I’m still working on turning on this site in an attractive shop were you can buy my jewels online… but waiting for that, contact me on , tell me what you dream about, I would love to make it happen. info@xavier-maury.com
Hope you will enjoy my works as much as i enjoy making it.
