Martine Edelman, artisan-jeweler

Here is a creator, an artist, who has progressively progressed from the not-so-unhappy but not entirely happy state of mother-housewives, to that of artist and then of craftsman, perfectly fulfilled and serene.
She fought for the very official (and very noble) status of a certified craftsman, now proud of her punch, a signature that she prints in the silver of her jewelery - sculptures and which puts an end to the true relationship she has maintained with each of these bodies to which she gives life.
Once they are punched they can fly away, provided with this passport which gives them the status of a work of art.
Because, the craftsmen are real artists!
The Corps pour Corps collection is an invitation to dance, dream, awakening and flying.
Each body made of solid silver evokes a moment suspended and suddenly takes the life that provokes our eyes ...

Elvis Pompilio, the longtime friend and discreet inspirer.

Sometimes a destiny is marked by what some people call chance ...
For Martine Edelman, he hit twice and she does not like to think that it was not written.
The day she decided to learn how to carve, the theme of the course was the body, that of a lively academic model, which posed for the students.
This was the revelation and all his sculptor's work was marked.
The artist had only one idea: to give life to sensual but immobile bodies, to create another form of movement.
This weird thing that is fun to put on your steps that you need to move forward in life, had also placed on the road friendly Martine a great creator who coats the largest and most fanciful too , for a long time: Elvis Pompilio!
Valentino, Mugler, Dior, Paris, London ... the Belgian designer is known worldwide: Madonna, Sharon Stone, Amelie Nothomb, Stephen Daho, Mickey Rourke, Harrison Ford, crowned heads ... he protects them all and he is also, since their studies of art, the friend of Martine Edelman.
He becomes his mentor, advising him to make jewels faithful to his sculpture work.
From the first rooms out of the studio, they like so much to Elvis that Pompilio becomes for her a kind of godfather, in addition to being for a long time his friend.
She says of him that he "impels" ideas of departure and then, if she captures them and conceives them, then she embarks on the adventure of a new creation: a ring on two fingers, a bracelet that connects the middle finger to the wrist, a mobile jewel ...

The woman and the designer, the artist and the craftsman are in agreement with each other ...
This gives Martine a real serenity, a kind of grace found in her work.

The Body Corps Collection is divided into two series: the Essential (larger pieces and made in limited series of 12 copies, including 4 as an artist) and Ready to Dare (smaller and more series produced).
Let it be clear that Martine has fought so hard to obtain her punch, that she refuses the very idea of ​​yielding one day to the big series which would not be entirely controlled by her own hands anymore.
Price side, the collection does not show excess, money is a matter as noble as accessible.
Count an average of € 600 for an Essential and € 180 for a piece "Ready to Dare" ...
This makes the jewelery creation a major competitor to the industry, at least that's what Martine and all those who support the work of artisans.

Jewelries that take shape, then dance and tell ...

Corps pour Corps is the work of a magician who, with a blow of her rod, made her miniature sculpture and transformed it into delicate and aerial jewels.
The bodies are the passion of Martine Edelman and her library is full of books that sublimate them.
For the one who buys one of the pieces of the collection, the body suddenly moves and it is no longer a cold object, frozen in time and space.
As soon as he (or she) wears it, he takes the temperature of the skin he dresses and, in the mind as in the heart of his new owner, he comes to life.
That's it ... a birth.

Het silhouet, de positie van het lichaam in de ruimte, het genre (s), zijn nooit onschuldig in het ontwerp van het juweel.
Dit is al het talent van Martine, dat wordt onthuld op het exacte moment dat je je blik op een stuk richt.
De magie is onmiddellijk en je armband, oorbel of ketting wordt mobiel en springlevend.
Je zult trillen voor een lus die met de lob van je oor zal trouwen, in een korte tijd zal opkrullen en daar zal settelen,
Dit weerspiegelt wat het juweel alleen voor jou als magie kan ontvouwen.
Let op, elk deel van de collectie kan een plotseling gevoel van afgunst, ongeduld, bijna van behoefte veroorzaken!
Genres hebben hier geen plaats, en lichamen worden alleen versierd door hun vormen, hun bewegingen en hun schittering.

Voor Martine Edelman betekent vakman zijn ook dat ze toegang heeft tot veel specifieke verzoeken, zoals het veranderen van een hanger in een broche.
Ze zal nooit geld in goud kunnen veranderen, zelfs als ze door sommigen als een alchemist wordt beschouwd.
Je kunt zijn werk al in foto's ontdekken op zijn elegante website: www.martineedelman.be, maar pas op: een sterke wens kan je plotseling overvallen!
