INGRID ZAAROUR
Designer biography:
Ingrid ZAAROUR was born 10 August 1975 in Lebanon-Beyrouth. When I was a kid, I used to walk in Beyrouth’s streets’ spending minutes in front of the jewellery shop windows, analyzing every gold piece that was telling me a story and imagining how it looked on people. Then I grew up, started working and pampered myself after salary, with silver or stone jewellery, and, on special occasions, with a gold or precious one. My love for stones grew with me, in 2009 I started manufacturing stone bracelets for me, family and friends. Then in 2023, I started to master the art of jewellery at Assamblage Jewellery School- the Initiation in jewellery courses, wax, stone setting, gold courses, and Alternative Materials in Contemporary Jewellery - Resin. I am fascinated by transforming precious metals and gemstones into works of art.
Collection concept:
“My Constellations” and “Blossoming paradise”
After managing to make ”Moon and Sun” hug each other on a pendant, I decided to bring you some charming stars and planets. I started to model "Venus" in the shape of a pendant. Then I carved "Planet Earth" with reliefs and waters, Venus the versatile and Sun and Moon” in different hypostases, the brightest “Mars”, the chief deity “Jupiter” and “Neptune’s Planetary ring”…Then I started to design and carve “Blossoming paradise’s collection”. “Butterflies and flowers”, these colorful harbingers of joy, represent love, they go together and make us feel happy! Each one is wonderful on its own, but together they form something incredibly special and so beneficial to our soul.
Each piece of “Blossoming paradise” will become a magnet, welcoming butterflies every day …
