Caspita, a world to the image of its creator

Passionate about contemporary art, Arlène Bonnant is a recognized expert

of 20th and 21st century Art. After having worked for eight years alongside Simon de Pury and Daniella Luxembourg, she acquired an acute knowledge of the art market. When de Pury & Luxembourg became Phillips de Pury & Luxembourg, following the merger with luxury giant LVMH, Arlène Bonnant pursued her role at the heart of the auction house in the Contemporary Art department. In 2005, Arlène Bonnant created AB Concepts and Dreams (ABCD), a company which catalogued and assured the preservation of a collection of 300 art objects, analysed and reproduced in the “CAP book collection”.

From the art world to fine jewellery

Arlène’s profound involvement with works of art and her close relationship with them drove her to explore her inner world and subsequently led her to the creation of jewellery. The transition from one to the other came very naturally to Arlène who sees a jewel as a work of art in itself.

Arlène’s major sources of inspiration were provided by her fortunate trips to Greece, Italy, India, Israel and Egypt, as well as by her deep interest in books on spirituality.

Arlène was also inspired by the great painters, Goya, Mantegna, Bosh, Blake and Caravaggio. Each, in their own way, opened her eyes to the invisible.


Carefully selected pieces from Caspita collections are available at The Eye of Jewelry Pop Up Store in Geneva located at the Grand Kempinski Hotel, Quai du Montblanc 19. Open Tuesday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday from 2.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. and on appointment.

Caspita, un monde à l’image de sa créatrice

Passionnée d’art contemporain, Arlène Bonnant est une experte reconnue de l’art du XXème et du XXIème siècle. Elle s’est forgée une profonde connaissance du marché de l’art en travaillant huit ans aux côtés de Simon de Pury et Daniella Luxembourg. Après que de Pury & Luxembourg fut devenu Phillips de Pury & Luxembourg, suite à la fusion avec le géant du luxe LVMH, Arlène Bonnant a poursuivi son activité au sein de la maison de vente aux enchères dans le département d’art contemporain.

En 2005, Arlène Bonnant a créé la société AB Concepts and Dreams (ABCD), qui a catalogué et assuré la conservation d’une collection de 300 objets d’arts, analysés et reproduits dans le “CAP collection book”.

Du monde de l’art vers celui de la haute joaillerie

C’est la fréquentation assidue des oeuvres d’art et son rapport intime à celles-ci qui a poussé Arlène à explorer son monde intérieur et à se lancer dans la création de bijoux. Le passage de l’un à l’autre s’est fait très naturellement, car selon elle, un bijou est une oeuvre d’art en soi.

Les principales sources d’inspiration de Arlène proviennent de ses voyages en Grèce, Italie, Inde, Israël et Egypte mais également par son grand intérêt pour les livres sur la spiritualité.

Arlène a également été inspiré par les grands peintres, Goya, Mantegna, Bosh, Blake and Carvaggio. Chacun ont ouvert leurs yeux de leur propre façon sur l’invisible.
