This T&C Favorite is the First Artist in Residence Jeweler at de Grisogono
Emmanuel Tarpin set up his high jewelry atelier in Paris in 2017—when he was 25—and by the end of the year his Geranium Leaf aluminum earrings were being sold at Christie’s. Words like wunderkind were used to describe Tarpin, initially a sculptor whose work exhibits the strong lines and innovative use of materials such a background suggests. He produces only a few superlative pieces a year, each one an optical illusion that mesmerizes with depth, texture, and color.
For his work, he was honored as the Breakthrough Designer of the Year at the T&C 2019 Jewelry Awards.
T&C can now exclusively announce his new role as the first Artist in Residence for de Grisogono, the Geneva jeweler known for some of the boldest designs in the high jewelry world. Tarpin takes the title as part of de Grisogono’s Creativity in Residence program and inaugurates it with a six-piece collection in white and black diamonds called Prologue. And, appropriately, it is just the beginning. Two more Tarpin-led high jewelry collections will arrive next year.
