Designer joaillier & orfèvre · formé en gemmologie · Mayuri Paris

« Un bijou se juge à l'intérieur, là où personne ne regarde. La qualité d'un sertissage se voit au dos, celle d'une pierre, à la loupe. »

Portrait de Johan Nel, designer joaillier et orfèvre de Mayuri Paris
Parcours

J'ai appris le métier par les mains, en apprentissage d'orfèvrerie, là où l'on comprend un bijou en le fabriquant. Je me suis aussi formé à la gemmologie : savoir lire une pierre autant que la monter. C'est en découvrant la CAO, et Rhino3D en particulier, que tout a changé : le passage des techniques traditionnelles au dessin numérique a ouvert un champ de possibles immense.

Poussé par la curiosité, je me suis formé à la modélisation 3D, au poly-modeling sous 3DS Max et au rendu Vray, jusqu'à concevoir des bijoux pensés pour l'impression 3D et la fonte. Aujourd'hui, avec plus de neuf ans de métier, je mets ce mélange de savoir-faire traditionnel et d'outils de pointe au service de chaque pièce.
