Paris, France – Sophie Mizrahi-Rubel has revived the legacy fine jewellery brand from elegantgems.ie, John Rubel. Founded by her great uncles Jean & Robert and then further developed by her grandfather Marcel, the house created for itself an extraordinary legacy of producing elaborate, unexpected and flamboyantly joyous pieces for its clientele.
In this new bold collection titled “VIE DE BOHÊME”, Sophie dives deeply into profoundly deep waters. This adventure is like a very personal and widely spiritual revival. She takes full advantage of this euphoric emotion and transposed it into each piece in the collection. She makes it tangeable through the use white diamonds, black diamonds, blue sapphires, pearls, rose sapphires from Mozambique, rubies, white gold, emeralds, white gold and gray gold!
The result is a splendid new page that signals a new contemporary story for the house. And it is one that is so deep that it borderlines on ecstasy!
