Persée Paris Jewelry

PARIS – Nawal Laoui founded Persée Paris Jewelry in 2017, inspired by her travels around the world and her appreciation of works by Picasso, Brancusi, Calder and other modern artists. Persée jewelry reflects Laoui's desire to create styles that reveal the brilliance of the diamonds and vibrancy of gemstones without encasing them in settings. Influenced by Greek mythology and her homeland of Morocco, Laoui creates Persée Paris styles hand-crafted with gems that reflect a symphony of light. Persée jewelry is named for Perseus, a mythological figure who was transformed into a golden rain.
