Moncomble at Premiere Classe "And tears become jewels"

What better idea than to turn tears into something eternal? That's the original gamble of Camille Moncomble, who likes to tell how one day, as he was leaving the jewellery school where he was studying, while a Japanese friend was crying, he comforted her. "She was holding back her tears and I told her that she shouldn't, that tears are beautiful", he confides. And to prove it, he designed his first piece of jewellery.

Three months of work later, after researching the stones, creating the shape and polishing the metal, he finished his first piece of face jewellery, called Lacrima, which has been at the heart of his collections ever since. "Lacrima has become the general name for these emblematic pieces, which have now given rise to other variations," explains the designer. 

On the website, you can discover Lacrima in yellow gold and diamonds, diamonds and sapphires on white gold, or with pink sapphires and rainbow gemstones. 

The idea is to embody the brilliance of emotions and turn sensitivity into strength. Transformed into jewellery, the tears grace the face and enhance the eyes.

Last March, at the Premiere Classe trade show, Moncomble presented its new pieces. Lacrima 2.0 features the same gold-plated bridge structure, but this time with diamond-embellished chains.

These poetic pieces are called MurMur: "The chains in front of the mouth capture the essence of whispered confidences," says Camille Moncomble. There's also Cascade or Petite Cascade, Celeste, Terrassa or Oasis...

 "All my creations stem from Lacrima. I'm not into trends. I like to make timeless pieces and I don't work on a seasonal basis. I need time to create", he continues.

At Premiere Classe, Moncomble attracted a number of buyers who jumped at the chance to try Lacrima. "The pieces are surprising and intriguing, and the buyers were delighted to see them in person and, above all, to try them out," concludes Camille Moncomble.
