Introduction
The world of jewelry is constantly evolving, shaped by visionary designers who dare to break the codes of classicism to offer unique experiences. It is in this spirit that the So Shocking brand was founded in 1998 by French jewelers driven by a passion for innovation and the challenge of convention. Distinguished by its determination to offer jewelry that breaks away from convention, the brand infuses each of its collections with modernity and daring, to create the unexpected and captivate the eye.…
The emergence of the So Shocking brand: breaking codes to create the unexpected
So Shocking was born in 1998 out of a desire to go beyond the limits of traditional jewelry. It embraced its provocative mission by bringing a breath of fresh air to the jewelry world through the progressive and inventive ideas of its creators, several independent master jewelers who decided to join forces to give shape to their shared innovative vision. These artisans, who understand the importance of fusing modern innovation with timeless refinement to fashion jewelry that goes beyond pre-established expectations, offer authentic creations with stunning designs. The brand's signature motif, an oval buckle, comes in many variations. Intertwined, on its own, adorned with stones, empty or full: the So Shocking buckle is a true signature!
Boldness redefined, a balance between luxury and originality
The very essence of So Shocking lies in its ability to unite contrasting elements in a harmony of shapes, materials and textures. Suggested, but never vulgar, transparency evokes images of fishnet and lace that become distinctive visual codes. Each jewel is a dialogue between luxury tradition and an unconventional attitude, creating an atmosphere where refinement coexists with a modern aesthetic. In this epic of creativity, the slogans "Rock your jewels" and "Women with attitude" resonate as an invitation to embrace your own brilliance. With So Shocking, jewelry is reinvented as an experience that transcends boundaries, where jewelry becomes an authentic extension of your unique personality..
Among the So Shocking jewelry we like to highlight, Inverso reversible ring is without doubt THE masterpiece, illustrating the degree of innovation offered by the brand. With its ingenious pivot system, the ring features a double-sided design, allowing you to adapt its appearance to your every whim, and harmonize it with your outfits and moods!
Jewelry that tells your story
So Shocking creations are more than just jewelry; they are personal stories embodied in precious stones and gold. Each model reveals a design that proudly asserts itself on your skin, revealing colors and brilliance that will charm you and, above all, suit you. At once bold and subtle, this precious touch is a true echo of your individuality... Following no predefined script, the pieces fashioned by La Maison write their own story, inspiring a deep, personal connection between you and your jewel. Taking pride in defying convention with poise, So Shocking embodies this duality, offering designs with character that are both unique and innovative. The brand advocates an attitude that challenges norms, while maintaining a chic, universal elegance.
Whether it's for a birthday, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, a marriage proposal or to mark any of life's milestones, such as birth, PACS or graduation, there's a So Shocking jewel to suit every situation. Black or white diamonds, ornamental stones and gold combine to give life to collections with distinctive styles, aimed at women with character, who know what they want and what they like. Make your mark and show the recipient that you know her well, by giving her a precious accessory that will meet all her expectations!
A brand in tune with the times
So Shocking's daily leitmotiv is to reinvent itself to meet the expectations of new generations. As fashions and inspirations evolve, the brand understands this and makes it its duty to offer jewelry that meets these new demands, by proposing jewelry that is modern, attractive and of high quality. However, So Shocking doesn't just conform to the trend, it also strives to shape a more responsible future. Concerned for people and the environment, we actively work to improve our social and environmental impact. Every decision she makes is imbued with values rooted in her DNA, guiding her commitment to sustainability. So behind every piece of So Shocking jewelry lies more than mere aesthetics: it's a testament to dedication to the idea of more responsible design, where beauty goes hand in hand with conscience and respect.
The materials used
Initially, Maison So Shocking worked only with white and rose gold, but is now forging an identity with an expanded range that includes yellow gold. This evolution stems from the success of collections such as Origine and Singulière, which are now adorned with the warm, sunny hue of yellow gold, bringing a new dimension to jewelry aesthetics. The gold used to shape all our creations is made of 18k gold , the finest quality gold available for jewelry making.
At the heart of these creations, diamonds play a predominant role, as much for their brilliance as for the duality they offer. White diamonds, pure, clear gems, catch the light in a unique way, their beautiful whiteness adding an extra touch of light to each piece they adorn. In parallel, black diamonds exude a luxurious aura of character, contrasting in the most beautiful way with both the gold that supports them and the white diamonds they usually accompany. The meeting of these two extremes of the diamond spectrum creates a striking play of light and a captivating visual contrast, perfectly symbolizing the very essence of So Shocking.
Two collections stand out for their creative use of ornamental stones such as lapis lazuli, malachite and mother-of-pearl: Première Fois et Inverso. These natural, colorful stones lend artistic depth and unique personality to each creation, giving life to a captivating, refined visual palette. The result is pretty, sparkling jewelry that can be worn on its own or in accumulation, as a set or mixed together to create your own color scheme. Ear studs, bracelets, rings and necklaces are revealed in cheerful tones that will delight all those who love bright, cheerful pieces!
A responsible and ecological vision
At So Shocking, our ambition is twofold: to offer durable, timeless jewelry while minimizing our impact on the environment. Aware of its responsibility to the planet, the brand has taken steps to limit its impact, and to be in line with the ethical values it upholds. With this in mind, the cases used to protect your jewelry have been designed to reflect the brand's commitment to sustainability. The brand has chosen natural and recycled materials, notably recycled textured paper, to create packaging that combines refinement and ecological awareness. By adopting eco-responsible packaging, So Shocking shares its commitment to preserving the beauty not only of the jewelry it creates, but also of the planet we all share. Every step of the process reflects the brand's sincere desire to contribute to a better world, where environmental awareness and timeless elegance coexist in perfect harmony.
