"I made this vow just before she passed away." – Lamine's story

 

Lamine grew up deeply influenced by his mother, a traditional healer celebrated for her mastery of “Tafukt n Tazwart,” or Crystal Healing—an ancient practice that channels the energy of crystals and gemstones to restore balance and promote well-being. Her expertise with Onyx, particularly in alleviating arthritis and rheumatic conditions, earned her widespread admiration and respect in their community. For many, she was not just a healer but a source of wisdom and comfort, embodying a legacy of knowledge passed down through generations.


Lamine shared an unbreakable bond with his mother, one rooted in love, respect, and a shared appreciation for the healing power of nature. Her passing left a void that could never be filled, but it also inspired him to carry her legacy forward in his own unique way. Determined to honour her memory, he found a profound connection between her life’s work and his passion for art. He began incorporating healing stones into his jewellery designs, with onyx becoming a signature element—a tangible tribute to his mother’s enduring influence and the wisdom she instilled in him.


For Lamine, each piece he creates is more than just jewellery; it’s a vessel of meaning, carrying forward his mother’s legacy and her belief in the power of healing. His work is an intricate blend of tradition and artistry, infused with a deep personal story that resonates in every detail.


Today, Lamine’s exceptional talent and heartfelt journey make him an artist whose creations speak to the soul. It’s no surprise that he was chosen to represent our launch collection, as his work embodies the essence of tradition, resilience, and innovation. Each piece he designs serves as a timeless tribute—not only to his mother’s spirit but also to the enduring connection between art, heritage, and healing.
