She also teachs jewelry technologies, and she's one of those jewelers who helped me to go far away in my jewelry practice. Thanks to her training courses, I was able to obtain my "Jewels and Jewelry Art" Vocational Training Qualification in 2008. That's why I would like to thank her and to present its very particular universe, between nature and architecture.
After an african childhood, Aline Kokinopoulos studied jewelry in the french Fontblanche workshops, with G. Jonemann as a teacher. Traveling abroad to gain more experiences with foreign jewelers, in 1992 she finally settled her studio in Marseille, finding in this mediterranean city a bridge between East and West.
She creates voluminous silver jewels, often decorated with gems or precious stones, and sometimes with other materials. Like her studio settled between city and countryside, her work has two main subjects: The invisible Cities and The imaginary Herbarium. Her jewels take us to a dreamed universe, visions from here and there, reminiscences of journey, images of imaginary cities, souvenirs of perfumed gardens...
Her rings of the series "The invisible Cities" are impressive buildings, lighthouses, towers and other domes inspired by faraway cultures, and which, in spite of their impressive size, remain pleasant to wear. 
As to answer to these monumental architectures, Aline become a gardener and creates delicate floral jewels of silver and gold, with semiprecious stones, a real "Imaginary Herbarium" to be collected.
