Biography

Early life and education

Baruch was born in Israel and developed an interest in jewelry design during his teenage years. [1] At age 17, he moved to Paris to study at the Haute École de Joaillerie, a specialist institution for jewelry arts. [1] [4]

Career

Following his graduation, Baruch began working at Cartier as a high jewelry designer. [1] After approximately one year, he left the company to establish his own independent practice. [1]

Baruch’s design studio operates without a public boutique, and he meets clients privately. He produces no more than thirty pieces annually, each made to order. [2] His creations are entirely handcrafted and often incorporate exceptionally rare stones. [2]

In Paris, Baruch’s workshop is located near Place Vendôme, historically associated with high jewelry houses. [2] He also maintains professional ties to Monaco, where he organizes private showings at venues such as the Hôtel Hermitage or the Yacht Club de Monaco. [2] Elements of Monegasque culture and architecture, such as the Grimaldi coat of arms and Port Hercules, are occasionally reflected in his designs. [2] Baruch has also contributed pieces to charity events and cultural initiatives in the Principality. [2]

Style and notable works

Baruch’s designs are known for intricate craftsmanship, limited production, and the use of high-quality gemstones. [3] One of his recurring motifs is the Fleur-de-lis, reinterpreted in various combinations of diamonds, colored gemstones, and platinum. [2] Each interpretation centers around a principal stone, such as a Colombian emerald or a Paraíba tourmaline. [2]

Reception

French and international media have compared Baruch’s work to that of Joel Arthur Rosenthal. [2] Forbes France and other lifestyle outlets have profiled his career, noting his emphasis on discretion and craftsmanship. [1] [2] [3]
