Buddha Jewelry x Anaïs Chabane
Before this collection became jewelry, it existed as a collection of memories, influences, and images that Anaïs Chabane has carried with her for years.
Known for her intricate ornamental tattoo work, Anaïs has built a distinctive artistic language defined by flowing forms, delicate details, and a deep appreciation for adornment. Her work often feels timeless, drawing the eye through layers of pattern and symbolism while remaining unmistakably her own.
Many of those influences can be traced back to her upbringing between France and Morocco. Anaïs grew up connected to a rich world of craftsmanship and ornament. The architecture, jewelry, decorative arts, and handmade objects she encountered throughout her childhood left a lasting impression, shaping the way she understood beauty from an early age.
While her work has evolved into something entirely personal, those early experiences continue to inform her creative perspective. They appear not as direct references, but as echoes. A certain curve. A repeating motif. An appreciation for intricacy. A belief that ornament can carry meaning beyond aesthetics alone.
When we began discussing a collaboration, we were drawn to the way Anaïs approaches adornment. Her work shares a natural connection with jewelry. Both are deeply personal. Both are designed for the body. Both become part of the stories we carry with us.
Together, we explored how her artistic language could be translated into fine jewelry. Rather than recreating existing designs, the process focused on distilling the elements that have become signatures of her work and reimagining them through gold, gemstones, and form.
The resulting collection serves as a tribute to the influences that shaped Anaïs as an artist. It is an homage to her Moroccan heritage, her love of ornament, and the visual traditions that have inspired her throughout her life. At the same time, it reflects where she is today: an artist with a distinctive voice and a body of work entirely her own.
Created in collaboration with Buddha Jewelry, these pieces invite the wearer into Anaïs' world, one shaped by memory, craftsmanship, adornment, and a lifelong fascination with beauty in the details.
With Gold and Gratitude,
Buddha Jewelry & Anaïs Chabane
