The Ulysses collection, by Myel
With the Ulysse collection, Myriam Elie, the talented jeweler behind the Montreal brand Myel, was inspired by the beauty of the seabed and their captivating mystery. Evoking the tumults and intense emotions of the mythical character’s odyssey, the creations explore wax shaping, a method which allows you to feel the work of the artisan and which leaves room for a more organic artistic gesture.
