High Jewelry Designer
About Renee Roux
In 2017, Renee Roux redefined structural possibility in high jewelry by embedding uncut sapphires directly into titanium lattices, no prongs, no bezels, allowing light to refract through both metal and stone simultaneously. Trained at the École des Arts Joailliers and later apprenticed under Jean-Michel Wilmotte’s architectural atelier, she treats each piece as a three-dimensional drawing in space, where tension, gravity, and wearability are calculated down to the micron. Her 2022 ‘Écorce’ collection, featuring raw emerald shards suspended in oxidized gold filigree that mimics bark fissures, was acquired in its entirety by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, marking the first time a living designer’s work entered their permanent collection without prior gallery representation. Roux refuses CAD modeling for initial sketches, insisting on hand-drawn maquettes in graphite and watercolor, believing digital tools flatten the dialogue between material resistance and human hesitation.
