In The Studio
The ProcessChristophe Poly is renowned for his innovative method of combining industrial materials with organic forms, creating jewelry that is both modern and expressive. His designs are rooted in an architectural concept. Poly’s process begins with high-quality materials, including brass, aluminum, stainless steel, acrylic, rubber, leather, and glass. These materials are chosen not only for their durability, but also for their ability to convey contrasting textures and tones.
The creation of each piece involves the careful cutting and shaping of small components from wire, plates, and tubing. These parts are then assembled into intricate three-dimensional constructions, resulting in jewelry that feels sculptural and dynamic. Throughout the process, Poly prioritizes comfort and wearability without compromising his distinctive aesthetic. Finally, he uses industry-leading finishes with protective coatings that enhance resistance and longevity. His finishes include 10k gold, antique silver, silver, black, and bronze.
