A Brief Intro about the Designer courtesey of Design Museum:

After teaching herself to design jewellery by making her own pieces without any formal training, SOLANGE AZAGURY-PARTRIDGE has defined an iconoclastic approach to jewellery design from her London studio.

Born in London in 1961, Solange Azagury-Partridge studied French and Spanish at university and, after graduating, took a stopgap job at the London costume jewellers Butler & Wilson. A year later she went to work for the 20th century antique dealer Gordon Watson, where she discovered the vintage jewellery of Cartier, Van Cleef and Boucheron.

Even in her earliest pieces, Azagury-Partridge broke the rules by creating dramatic sculptural settings from unconventional combinations of stones including uncut precious and semi-precious gems. For her first collection as creative director of Boucheron, the venerable Parisian jeweller, in autumn 2002, she set the most precious gems – emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds – in black gold in a spectacular combination of Azagury-Partridge’s ingenuity and Boucheron’s heritage.
