This monograph is devoted to Joël Faivre-Chalon (1953–2020), French creator of contemporary jewellery. Trained in Strasbourg and subsequently based in Montpellier, Joël Faivre-Chalon never viewed jewellery as mere ornament: his pieces are the fruit of patient research conducted into form (which, in his hands, tends to be pared down), technique, and materials. His work can be imagined in two broad phases: the first devoted to experiments with colour, followed by a second focused on studying volume, drawing on innovative materials such as titanium, slate, laminate, or carbon fibre.
Emeric Pinkowicz is curator at Espace Solidor – Musée du Bijou Contemporain is in the city of Cagnes-sur-Mer, in the south of France. Pinkowicz started working with the museum three years ago. He brings a background in art history and museums, with a specialty in conservation. His associate, Myriam Theveniaud, has worked for the city for 20 years. She focused on graphic design in art school. She creates promotional materials, works with the curators to help set up exhibitions, and catalogues the pieces.
