When you arrive at the House Gilbert Albert, the shop surprised by an alliance between classicism and sobriety places that highlight the character subtly original creations of the Master.
The atmosphere is cozy, the house is busy, all its customers.
We are invited to climb a wooden staircase old, upstairs.
We then headed into the Holy of Holies, where Gilbert Albert conceives his works be it watches, jewelry and sculptures, his imagination seems boundless.
We see bottles of perfumes which he said the tests, but we think we finished works of sober and elegant, Trophy, a beautiful reprint of ancient characters in a jewel …. A whole universe
His desk, his office: his bureau (in french)
.His drawings are displayed on the walls. There are dozens, air line and racy, all different.
This Desk seems so wide...
The interview begins.
It must first be noted that Gilbert Albert is impressive as a person.
Its purpose is direct, clear language.
He shows us the side of a jaw line, which is the last source of inspiration for his latest creation.
He noted the line if the particular subject and wishes to reiterate that it is Nature who designed it as he does that inspiration.
Great modesty from someone who knows how to have received donations that Nature more than another.
he interview begins.
True, he asks me how long I was not lying in the grass.
It was there two months. The Summer still perfumed sweetness green grass to the edge of the lake, green as an emerald, a malachite …
Mr. Albert then explains that his ideas are born of her observation of the immense creativity of nature, all these incredible shapes, like a jaw line, beetles, wood, leather, like a multitude of features, sculptures, the Imagination and inexhaustible unmatched Life …
He also works meteorites such gems: evidence mounts that his imagination to the stars …
Then his talent designs the jewelry, the layer on the paper, then a wax model accommodates the stones, which are then treated as a subtle composition, mounted in case of all possible ways to enhance them, plaited by metals precious.
Again, it is the intrinsic beauty of the jewel that is desired, mix with gemstones semi-precious stones,fine, then everything is more beautiful for this object of desire, not necessarily the most expensive.
Labour, in an absolute sense, and alliances transcend the aesthetic value for the Master.
There are also voluntarily jewelry pieces at home that do not exceed 5,000 francs, alongside others that are priceless
Everyone has the opportunity within its means to offer or wear a jewel Gilbert Albert.
To the Jeweller Creator, the jewel is then the beauty of woman, simply. It’s a tribute.
If you do not wear, it becomes transparent, abandoned
I asked him what he thinks of that sentence: it is said that pearls are made to adorn the necks of women in Eastern wisdom.
This seems to send him his vision of the Bijou.
Gilbert Albert lives to create, design, implement his ideas to see what his colleagues call a challenge, they are always happy to perform in excess.
This is what a jewel, a clock Gilbert Albert are amazing, unique creations, illustrating the original meaning of masterpiece of the Art Artisan ..
Thus it is inconceivable for him to imagine life without time and again other masterpieces, otherchallenges.
He always tells us to want to live fully until it can no longer imagine and conceive.
It is true that time does not seem to have taken on him, as if Nature thanked him for his passion for her,I told myself on leaving and going down the stairs softly in snails
A nice visit, a nice interview with a generous, caring professional team to the extreme, which will end with a visit to the exhibition in the basement and her jeweler‘s studio, a place not to missed.
But this is yet another chapter …
