| MARIE MUNIER JEWELRY DESIGNER |
MARIE Z. MUNIER
A native of Lebanon where she lives and works, Marie Munier began her
artistic career by getting a degree in interior design, then switching to oil
painting before finally settling on jewelry design more than 30 years ago.
She quickly developed a devoted international following for her
one-of-a-kind, gemstone encrusted pieces, finding a wide audience for her
reinterpretations of ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Phoenician jewelry
design styles. She was selected as one of 5 out of 800 participants in the
Las Vegas "Rising Stars - 2002" and among these 5, she was the one jewelry
designer chosen to exhibit her collection in New York. Today she works with
her daughter Nathalie who brings her own influence to the work.
NATHALIE MUNIER
Nathalie Munier, Marie's daughter, was born in Lebanon. She followed in her
mother's footsteps and attended The Academy of Fine Arts. She pursued her
studies at the Gemological Institure of America in Santa Monica, California,
where she graduated as a Jeweler Gemologist. In Paris she received her
graduate degree in Jewelry design and the B.J.O. (Bijouterie, Joaillerie,
Orfèvrierie). After a year of training at O.J. Perrin, the well known Parisian
Jeweler, she joined her mother's business, bringing to it her own creative
talents.
