POPA
Popa is a unique jewelry brand born of the artistic vision of its founder, a passionate designer with an exceptional career path.
As a graduate of the prestigious AFEDAP artcrafts training program, I have cultivated a deep sense of creativity and a singular artistic approach. This creative base was refined by technical training in a renowned workshop on the Place Vendôme, one of the most emblematic locations in the world of high jewelry. My unconventional background and self-taught philosophy have enabled me to explore the traditional borders of jewelry design. La Joaillerie was created in 2020. We combine craftsmanship and creativity, offering unique pieces and turning the most ambitious wishes into reality with our bespoke service.
The first Popa pieces were conceived after a transformative trip to Burma in February 2018, where I visited Mount Popa, a sacred pilgrimage site for the Burmese people. The 777 steps leading to the top of the mountain, where gold leaves adorned Taung Kalat monastery is located, was imprinted indelibly on my mind.
Each piece of jewelry reflects the essence of Mount Popa. The resonant sound of bells, the sight of monks in procession and the mystical atmosphere of this extraordinary place were the inspiration for what was to become the Popa brand.
The collection features step accumulation, mat gold and authentic materials. These creations are more than jewelry, they are an invitation to travel.
Popa is more than jewelry. It is the story of a craft, a culture and a timeless art.
