Speaking about luxury with Sandrine Tessier – couture-made Fine Jewelry

The story started in 1954 with Henri Cheron jeweler and Marie-Madeleine Cheron enameller, Christine Cheron-Tessier their daugther following her mother and continue the enamel part with Cécile Tessier the sister of Sandrine…

A graduate of the Ecole rue Louvre-Paris, Sandrine Tessier has been an artist of  Fine Jewelry from childhood, immersing herself in gold, precious stones, antique technique : enamel,… to create gorgeous pieces that have since been seen and worn around the world. Sandrine considers her work not so much as a profession as we all think of it but purely a lifestyle. It’s that sentiment that you know you are dealing with a rare and gifted artist.

Sandrine credits her grandfather as the one who really got her into jewelry, which she admits at first was not even something she envisioned for her life. “My Grandfather was a jeweler…but it was not my aim to follow his steps at the start. I wanted to work in genetics and create new orchids!”

When Sandrine is not working, you can find her drawing for hours on end. She constantly sketches on whatever she can grab at the time – anything is her canvas when the artist bell rings. “Really I love drawing and draw all day long, on a sheet of paper either on a napkin. I draw whenever it comes.” She is also a bit of a globe trotter as well, hitting up every hot spot that draws her eye. “I love traveling and it blows up my creations too. In seeing a different universe, country, nature, way of life – I travel for my pleasure and business to find stones and pearls.”
