Talisman necklaces, rings and bracelet Sistema – Parts of Four
Raw and yet sophisticated, with Viking influence and yet worn by Beyoncé (but also by Erykah Badu, Kim Kardashian or Joey Starr), these jewels have character, temper and even, let's say it, look.
In his boutique at 36, rue Charlot, in the Marais, in Paris, the Californian artist Evan Sugerman has been offering his industrial punk-rock creations for ten years, set with amethysts, citrines, topaz, crystal, leather, wood, bone.
Between minimalist sculptures and shamanic talismans, these jewels are “constructed like small-scale architecture,” explains the designer, who adds: “They generate power and energetic intensity immediately. " And that's true.
Beyoncé with Parts of Four jewelry
But Parts of Four, this wild brand, has more than one string to its bow. It also manufactures vegetable coconut wax candles with ecological virtues and slow combustion (50 hours), cast in cylinders cut from steel, brass, copper or even foundry metal. These metal containers are subsequently subjected to polishing or oxidation or even – the height of style – plated with gold or silver. It's beautiful, it's raw, it's rock'n'roll.
The candles come in six fragrances: cinnamon, rose, patchouli, ginger, vetiver, lemongrass. Prices start at 90 euros.

The Top 3 jewelry stores/workshops
Le Marais, where jewelry was already made under the Ancien Régime, remains faithful to tradition. Look closely: almost every street has one or more jewelry stores.

Topology, accessories designed for adventure
An accessories store, Topologie was created by Carlos Granon, a Frenchman based in Hong Kong, and Go Urano, a Japanese from Tokyo, two childhood friends who are passionate about climbing.

Victor Hugo, the writer with a thousand talents
Born in 1802, Victor Hugo became a social writer, a playwright, a poet, a novelist and a romantic designer. Nicknamed the man-ocean then the man-century, he is a political figure and a committed intellectual. He found success with Notre-Dame-de-Paris in 1831 and with Les Misérables in 1862.
The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
