Presented at the Maxime D. gallery in Paris, his collection stands as a manifesto of free, responsible elegance that is deeply rooted in the spirit of the times. “Paoz embodies a contemporary vision of jewellery, one that is at once elegant, free and responsible”: a statement of intent that perfectly sums up the spirit of this luminous line, created in collaboration with DFLY Paris.

Joyful, ethical jewellery crafted in France

Inspired by the lively energy of Oz, the designer’s Chihuahua, the Paoz collection stands out for its assertive character and joyful aesthetic. Each piece combines recycled 18-carat gold with carefully selected lab-grown diamonds, in a resolutely sustainable approach. Entirely crafted in France, the creations celebrate jewellery-making excellence, true to the high standards that have characterised Philippe Airaud’s career.

An exchange between contemporary art and jewellery

For this edition, PAOZ is forging a unique link between jewellery design and artistic expression by inviting Berlin-based artist Wilhelm Beestermöller. His multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, photography, collage and digital techniques creates an immersive experience that resonates with the jewellery. A visual dialogue offering a sensitive and thought-provoking counterpoint to the brilliance of the pieces.This encounter between two creative languages, one precious, the other visual transforms the showroom into a space for reflection and emotion, where jewellery becomes as much an object to be worn as a vehicle for expression.
