Paris is living in the Roaring Twenties, when Gaston Doumergue inaugurates Boulevard Haussmann with silver-gilt scissors; he cuts the symbolic ribbon criticized by some. At the time, Joséphine Baker had just performed at the Folies Bergères, with the revue Nègre. In the heart of the theater district, Maison Burma opens its doors and signs a style, in line with the new modern, emancipated and bustling woman.

Independent since its creation in 1927, faithful to the creativity and quality of the Maison’s creations, with a festive heart, a light spirit, with jewelry that marks the present time. Paris was the center of the international literary scene in those years, and writers like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, and James Joyce participated in wild literary circles.

In Paris, fashion at that time was also driven by renowned designers like Coco Chanel who revolutionized the industry with their innovative designs. Burma plays a decisive role, because with an international reputation for its magnificent pieces set with these precious gems, it imposes its creations.

Founded in 1920 by Pierre Cartier, a member of the famous Cartier jeweler family, the house was named after the region of Burma (now Myanmar) where the exceptional quality gemstones used in the creations came from. Here is the latest creation carried by the sweet and captivating muse Elisa Bachir Bey, the intensity of the beauty is silent, but her image is not. I like to be dazzled to accentuate the darkness inside me.
