Capucine Huguet: Fine Jewelry Design and Environmental Art Sculpture

Capucine Huguet is a Paris-based jewelry artist and designer who bridges the gap between science and fine art. Trained in fine jewelry in both Paris and London, Capucine Huguet draws profound inspiration from the natural world, often collaborating with scientists to understand environmental issues like climate change. Her work, notably the Wahlenbergbreen Mementos collection, transcribes the melting of Arctic ice caps into wearable sculpture. As the winner of the Grand Prix for Accessories at the Hyères Festival, Capucine Huguet has solidified her place at the intersection of luxury and environmental activism. Based in Paris, France, her studio operates under strict ethical standards, utilizing only 18-carat recycled gold, recycled silver, and fully-traced precious stones. Her collections, such as Téthys, explore biological themes like the life of phytoplankton, turning scientific research into unique, personal artefacts. Each piece is handcrafted in her Paris workshop, emphasizing slow fashion and the creation of future heirlooms that value quality over quantity. Capucine Huguet offers bespoke creations and signature pieces like the Spira Diamant and Ophidia Saphir, each carrying a meaningful story about the Earth's fragile beauty and the importance of resource conservation.
