I am Cassandre, I come from South East of France and moved to Paris in my early twenties to go to art school.
As far as I can remember I have always loved using my hands to create what's in my mind.

I have this addiction to things that shines (glitters, gold, holographic are my things !) so when I discovered crystal it was love at first sight and Palavas Paris was created !
Crystal is often used in jewelry and fashion to create showy pieces which are not really my kind of things. I decided to use it to create discreet, luminous pieces.

Because it is made out of glass, the way it is shaped impacts the way light reacts to it. The jewelry can look different from one time of the day to another, which makes it very special I find.
Another thing that makes my love for crystal so big is the fact that even if it is a good quality material it is affordable. It allows me to create things that a lot of people could buy themselves, which is important to me.

I work on my own on creating and making the jewelry but this little business also allows me to do something great : working with very talented people. I often collaborate with graphic designers and photographers who I admire. I really like the fact that Palavas Paris is a way for me to connect with them.
I work from my home in Paris, where I created myself a little workshop, it is full of all the things that inspire me.

By the way, in case you wondered : Palavas is the name of a city by the Mediterranean sea, it is very different from Paris and I love these two names together.
