Once upon a Time, there was… an artist, who wanted to create a necklace with a splash of diamonds. That undoubtedly sounds like the beginning of a fairy tale, but in fact, it’s a true story.
Our artist answers to the name of Aline, and founded Debusigne – her company- few years ago, in 2018. Since the very beginning, her creations showed a uncommon sense of style and an innate elegance.
Born in Nice, Aline spent the first part of her life in the south of France, moving then to Basel in the early 2000’s, following her desire of working in the field of ancient art.
A former historian, she immediately felt a strong commitment to art working for long time for a gallery, as consultant to clients eager to build their own collections.
That led her to old cut stones, which are now the center of her work, as jeweler and designer. The aesthetic codes of Debusigne, in fact, are built around the idea of contemporary designs handcrafted after traditional techniques, with the use of old cut diamonds as its signature.
Aline eventually made the necklace of her dream, but instead of “a splash of diamonds”, she ended up creating a true constellation, set in white gold with beautiful diamonds of different size. She did not take in consideration maybe the strongest of her features: her elegance. Aline appears, literally, like a fairy, with very pale blond hair, a delicate structure and gracious movements. Par contre, her blue eyes sparkle with a fierce will and inexhaustible strenght. This mix, ça va sans dire, is conveyed to her jewelry, which enhances the natural solidity of the metal with a neat and light design.
Production takes place mainly in Geneva and Paris, where the traditional craftsmanship remains very strong. The result is a very sculptural yet wearable jewelry, where a close attention to ergonomic shapes and light is declined through a luminous sobriety that makes every creation unique and extremely eye catching.
Creating jewels, for Aline Debusigne, it is a way of expression, a form of poetry whose verses are set in gold and rhymes shine with diamonds, a literature which is never boring, and whose the present writer is looking forward to see the future path.
