La créatrice Monsieur
C’était il y a plus de dix ans. Dans sa brasserie parisienne du 11e arrondissement, Nadia Azoug fait la rencontre d’un bijoutier qui aime prendre son café au comptoir. De leurs discussions quotidiennes naît une vocation : celle de créer des bijoux artisanaux. En janvier 2010, elle se lance en autodidacte sous le nom de Monsieur, comme un clin d’œil à sa marque faite par une femme pour les femmes. Son envie ? Proposer des créations made in Paris, plus qualitatives que celles produites en masse et plus accessibles que celles de la place Vendôme. Sa force ? Maîtriser l’ensemble de la chaîne, depuis l’achat des matières premières jusqu’à la distribution en passant par une fabrication artisanale entièrement réalisée à Paris.

Jewelry Care Guide
Care instructions for vermeil jewelry
Vermeil is made of silver and gold and should not be in contact with perfume, cosmetic or household cleaning products. This jewelry can be cleaned with a small sponge dipped in soapy water, then dried with a jewelry polishing cloth or a microfiber cloth. For stubborn spots, mix Spanish white wine with sunflower oil and apply the solution with a soft cloth, then dry.
Care instructions for gold jewelry
Gold jewelry can be cleaned with a small sponge dipped in soapy water, then dried with a jewelry polishing cloth or a microfiber cloth. For a deeper clean, dilute baking soda in lukewarm water. Leave the jewelry in that mixture for 10 minutes, then scrub with a clean toothbrush under lukewarm water before drying it out with a jewelry polishing cloth or a soft cloth.
Care instructions for silver jewelry
Silver jewelry can be cleaned in a solution of lukewarm soapy water with a touch of lemon juice for 10 minutes. Then scrub with a clean and soft brush before rinsing under lukewarm water and dry with a jewelry polishing cloth or a soft cloth. To get rid of spots, apply baking soda diluted in water, lemon juice, toothpaste, Blanc de Meudon, or rubbing alcohol with a soft toothbrush. After delicately scrubbing the jewelry, rinse under water and dry out with a cloth. If the stains persist, scrub with a cloth dipped in a mixture of vinegar and ammonia. For black spots, leave silver in a mixture of warm water and vinegar for 15 minutes. If the silver oxidizes, immerse the jewelry in a solution of salt and warm water, in a foil-lined bowl, then dry with a soft cloth.
