Who is MANON ROUBY? Owner and designer at “DEMOISELLE OLE OLE BIJOUX”
"Demoiselle Olé Olé Bijoux" tell the story of an atypical life dictated by a limitless passion.
As far as I remember I have always been full of creativity, new, different and original ideas. Since I’m a child I’m creating my own world, I used to draw a lot to make my own dreams reals and to learn to discover my true personality.
After high school, I decided to travel by myself to discover new worlds, atmospheres, cultures, people and this was the beginning of everything, because these adventures opened my mind and gave me the passion for all the differences that you can see in the world about people, landscapes, cultures… It reinforced my taste for atypical things and my conviction that, thanks to art, you can mix all the beautiful things inspiring you in the world with your own creativity. The outcome of this period spent overseas is a great inspired by unique ideas, true stories and amazing personalities. At the age of 21 I enrolled in an Art school in Paris: LISAA www.lisaa.com
The first year was a year of Art preparation and then a specialization in clothes fashion design. I was successful but unfortunately I got sick in the middle of my studies so I had to leave the school one year before graduation.
I came back to the south of France, to rest and started to find a way to put in practice all the things I had learnt during my lessons.I did create a clothes brand called RUBY’S DISORDER with a luxury clothing collection and a vintage collection. I worked between Paris and Saint Tropez.
A while after, I felt like something was missing in my work, I didn’t feel free with my creativity as I was supposed to find the right compromise between artistic and commercial. Finally I decided to learn jewelry and I found myself in it. With jewels I feel definitely more free with my creativity because even if it’s super atypical it’s an accessory to enhance the clothes and the personality of the customer.
I made a jewelry school in Aix en Provence : “l’Institut des Arts de la Bijouterie d’Aix en Provence” http://institut-des-arts-de-la-bijouterie.over-blog.com
I graduate the 3 first levels of french jewelry and I specialized in an old jewels making skill “the Chasing” to sculpt and put volume on metals.
Finally, after a lot of reflections, researches about metals, about inspiration,I’ve created my own brand “DEMOISELLE OLE OLE BIJOUX” that I am introducing to you today.
