Marie Munier
Marie Munier studied fine arts for five years before beginning her artistic career as a painter. She soon realized that her passion lay in creating jewelry inspired by the splendor of early Mediterranean civilizations. Her signature style of incorporating antique items into statement jewelry won her great acclaim and led to exhibitions both in her native country, Lebanon, and abroad. Her success has endured across the decades thanks to her unique creative vision.
Nathalie Munier
Nathalie studied art at the “Academie Libanaise pour les Beaux Arts” –ALBA- and began her career as a graphic designer in the field of advertising. She later found her passion in jewelry and as such moved to the United States to attend the Gemological Institute of America in California and complete studies in jewelry manufacturing. She built on this even further with a specialization at France’s leading jewelry school, BJO - Bijouterie Joaillerie Orfèvrerie - in Paris. Nathalie then returned to her home city of Beirut to work alongside her mother, Marie Munier.
Two Generations in the Making
In recent years she has been joined by daughter Nathalie who brings a new but complementary style and approach to her jewelry making.
