"Silk Road" is the name of the ancient Chinese trade route. The Silk Road owes its name to the export of silk, a luxury good that was especially popular in India. In the second century BC, the trade route stretched from Beijing to Rome, connecting China with India, the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe. These were not only routes by land, but also by sea. In the 15th century, the Chinese already used trading ships that were many times larger than the ship of Columbus.
Dominique Denaive takes you back to those days with his collection. Exotic silk, jade, ivory and cinnabar. A decadent feeling of luxurious precious materials. With his magical way of using resin, he makes it possible to imagine yourself back in the Silk Road era! This poetic jewelry is suitable for a Parisian boudoir but also for those who dare to look exotic. The jewelry can be worn chic as well as casual.
I invite you to create your own mysterious style.

Every piece is unique. As the resin is artfully made to resemble precious minerals, variation in color and structure or inclusions will occur, this is not a flaw but part of the magic.

From the beginning Dominique Denaive has carved out his reputation thanks to his mastery of resin, his favorite material. Like an alchemist he blends it with gold dust and pigments so it becomes a precious mineral after which he shapes it into unique items of jewelry. He started his career as part of a Parisian team of ground- breaking fashion labels known as Le Groupe Des Halles, It did not take long for luxury brands such as Christian Lacroix, Dior, Kenzo, Rochas or Balenciaga to take note.
Up until 1999, each of these called on his talent to design exclusive resin models for their collections. The new millennium arrived, and with it Dominique Denaive's decision to dedicate his talent, alongside his wife Lena, exclusively to his own label.

Your Dominique Denaive jewelry is an exceptional piece, we advise you to wash it gently with water and not to use chemicals in order to preserve its shine.
