Xavier lived in Paris, New York and Cape Town before moving to London. He has a passion for travel and his experiences around the world have given him a rich source of inspiration for his jewellery. He believes that style should transcend borders and that it is the job of a designer to ensure that he makes influences from other continents and cultures accessible to everybody. This is the guiding principle in the ‘international style’ of Xavier’s cufflinks.
Xavier’s passion for jewellery started while studying luxury brands at business school in Paris. He was driven to launch his own company by the desire to provide luxury products with contemporary design and appeal and characterises his brand as Contemporary Design. Traditional Luxury.
Living in Cape Town has given Xavier first-hand experience of Africa and introduced him to a wide variety of precious and semi-precious stones. He has been captivated by the beautiful colours and the way in which they reflect the character of Africa’s cities and landscapes. Incorporating these stones into some of his cufflinks has allowed him to combine new world innovation with French flair and British sophistication.
