Selim Mouzannar hails from a family of jewelers serving the Ottoman Empire since the 19th century. Growing up in his father’s Beirut workshop, French and Lebanese, Selim studied mineralogy before managing a prominent jewelry workshop and becoming a stone hunter. Inspired by Ottoman and Art Deco architecture, Selim’s jewelry reflects a dynamic heritage. Every piece, crafted by his skilled artisans, showcases his expertise in color and form.

An optimistic epicurean, Selim’s commitment to non-violence and solidarity is exemplified by his award-winning necklace, Amal (HOPE), which won a Couture Design Award in 2016. The collective emergent designers in his new outlets, Macle Jewels and The Jeweller Vintage, demonstrate his passion for jewelry while his favorite exclamation “Vive La Vie!”, reflects his deep connection to nature.
