A Week in Paris as a 20-Year-Old Jeweller

made this one for myself! 5 days alone in paris. 1 goal: immerse myself in the jewellery scene / the craft scene and see if i could learn a thing or two. i started just walking the streets, i thought the best things i could find weren't going to be search-up-able.. walked the old engraving district on day one, exhibits upon exhibits, you name it. figured out the one trick that opens any city: go to the wholesalers. tried to ask 'parlez-vous anglais' about forty times. got an address. met lots of locals. emailed maison agry (8th generation hand engravers) expecting nothing, and they let me into the workshop. théo told me more than any money or course could buy. found a collective where jewellers pay one euro an hour for a bench. this was truly insane and i got so much energy and motivation seeing everyone's love for their craft. they didn't care about anything else but just simply making. back soon, paris. 00:00 Arriving in Paris 08:46 Finding the jewellery district 18:20 Inside a 200-year-old engraving workshop 29:47 The Paris jewellery collective 40:19 Last day + the question I'm taking home join this shiii : https://loujewellery.com.au/newsletter @Loujewellery_ is what we are building @louismerrigan is the insta
