History of CHIC ALORS!
CHIC ALORS !
CHIC ALORS, a name that immediately announces the color and style of this brand of jewelry made in France: resolutely independent, daring, creative and elegant, which sees life with humor and with heart! Created in 2009 by Héloïse Mialhe, CHIC ALORS imagines with love and a zest of fantasy beautiful jewels, resulting from the unique know-how of sustainable French craftsmanship.
At the origin was the drawing
At CHIC ALORS, every creation starts with an original drawing by the founder Héloïse Mialhe. Through her training (Estienne School of Graphic Arts, then Duperré School of Applied Arts, dedicated to fashion) and by passion, Héloïse imagines, from her workshop in Lyon, each of her jewelry pieces. Rings, bracelets and earrings first come to life via a drawing, a sketch, which she enriches as her inspiration grows with lines, cuts, patterns and colors. The classic codes of jewelry are cheerfully deconstructed, reconstructed, revisited without concession, always with this unique original-chic imprint that makes the salt of CHIC ALORS. It's no coincidence that the brand's godmother is Agnès B.!
The play of materials
After being designed on paper, bracelets, earrings and rings are then sculpted with various materials and volumes. Silver and brass gilded with fine gold are twisted, twisted, engraved, hammered or smoothed. Then materials from our beautiful French nature are invited into the dance: poplar wood worked in Lozère, polished stone or rope woven in the Loire, resins from the Jura, colored glass crystal, resin with pop colors... At CHIC ALORS, creativity sparkles with inventiveness to imagine timeless made in France jewelry that stands out from the already seen classics, and always with that French chic...
The Made in France eco-responsible, an evidence!
Making jewelry with a perfect fall is not improvised. That's why CHIC ALORS works with renowned jewelers who make and assemble the jewelry in their Parisian workshop. Without any concession, these craftsmen are concerned by the environment and attached to respect the standards in force ( reach standards). This approach is essential for each of the manufacturing techniques: gilding with 24-carat gold, enameling of colored materials, welding, assembly, final varnishing... The result: jewelry made in France, of quality, solid and therefore durable, comfortable and guaranteed without nickel. CHIC ALORS is the meeting, in a unique and stylish jewel, of design, know-how and eco-responsible ethics and 100% made in France.
