Marie Mas: New Collection Captures the Sensual Beauty of Sunset Shadows

Marie Cabirou, the chief designer and CEO behind the jewellery brand Marie Mas has released a new and very sensual high jewellery collection: Luminous Lines. Inspired by the shadows formed on the human body during the golden hour of sunset, the designer highlights non-traditional parts of the body through simple diamond lines.

33-year-old designer Marie Cabirou moved to Paris over 15 years ago seeking a career in fine jewellery. Inspired by her grandmother from a young age to draw, create and design, she left her hometown of Aveyron, France, to pursue multiple degrees in textile and accessory design: “I always wanted to be a designer, it seemed like part of my DNA. I was always interested in how things work, how they are made and the design behind them”. After completing two undergraduate degrees and a Master’s degree, Marie decided to focus her career on working with fine jewellery materials to create unexpected pieces of jewellery.

It was whilst working in the Costume Jewellery department at Dior that Marie truly fell in love with jewellery making: “Seeing your work of a sketch walk down the runway is a truly magical feeling, there is nothing like it”! After honing her skills at Dior for three years, the young designer decided to take the bold step to go out on her own and create her brand. This was the beginning of Marie Mas.
