Opale en folie

I am Yann Pidoux Barutciyan, a lapidary craftsman from Antibes. I invite you to rediscover this rare craft in France. Specializing in Australian opal, I present it to you in all its forms and colors. Each piece of jewelry I offer here is entirely handmade by me: I cut each opal by hand, then mount it on my workbench, in either 925 sterling silver or 18-karat gold. You can also book a creative session in my workshop to learn the fundamentals of lapidary and jewelry making. From cabochon cutting to metal shaping, awaken the artist within you. Want to learn more about the workshops? Visit opaleenfolie.fr. Throughout February 2026, I invite you to discover the world of jewelry making. Whether you are a collector, a gem enthusiast, or simply curious, come and see up close what nature has to offer.
