This fall, my girlfriend and I organized a backpacking trip around Europe for 6 weeks, during which we walked/hiked our way around the Luberon region. My girlfriend has very particular taste: she doesn't like diamonds, loves moonstone, sapphire and silver, and likes unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that aren't too flashy or gaudy, that are sleek, elegant, yet firmly set to accommodate an active lifestyle. Knowing this, I wanted to find a skilled jeweler who could not only fulfill this rather extensive list of requirements, but also was along the route of our trip. So, after speaking with famous jewelers on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, various esteemed shops in Paris and so on, I was getting discouraged at the likelihood of finding an artist not only capable of producing something unique in the style described, but able to do so with relatively short notice and at a lower price point than convention attempts to enforce. After finding Jean-Philippe's one-of-a-kind style and works online and messaging him, I was stunned at his willingness to work through the language barrier to draft up exactly what I had envisioned, and more. After we eventually ended up in Gordes along our trip, I needed to quickly duck away from my girlfriend in the bakery next door, and dash into Jean-Philippe's shop, coated in sweat, wearing a massive backpack and ratty black tank top, where he graciously and warmly welcomed me, and was just as excited to show me the finished product as I was to see it. He excitedly exclaimed that this was the first time someone had asked him to make an engagement ring, and was honored to do so! When an artist is legitimately pouring themselves into a project that means just as much to them as it does the customer, it shows in the finished product. I wish I had more time to speak with Jean-Philippe in person, as I needed to leave quickly so as not to tip off my girlfriend that something was afoot.
After proposing that evening in Gordes, a hundred feet or so from Jean-Philippe's shop by the stone wall overlooking the fields toward Roussillon, I was met with a resounding "Yes!" and a barrage of tears at how beautiful and perfect this ring is. Thank you, Jean-Philippe, for giving us the best night of our lives, an unforgettable story, and a piece of art we will treasure from here on.
