2024 – Maison Dubail innovated in the art of high jewelry with an artistic craftsmanship project combining jewelry-making and painting to create an exceptional handcrafted piece.
For the first time in jewelry craftsmanship, a canvas painted by an artist was set into precious materials to create a high jewelry masterpiece.
2026 – Maison Dubail created a second version of L’ENVOL and donated it to the French Union of Jewelry, Goldsmithing and Silversmithing (UFBJOP) in Paris as part of its philanthropic commitment through the Pierre Dubail Scholarship “Jewelry for All”.
Speech by Daniel Cambour on June 18, 2026 at the UFBJOP
During his speech, Mr. Daniel Cambour highlighted the bold symbolism represented by L’ENVOL. An inspiring creation at the heart of the profession that reflects Pierre Dubail’s commitment to transmission and education.
It is also a new expression of the generosity of an entire family that continuously promotes the jewelry profession and jewelry craftsmanship through innovative and inspiring projects.
“L’Envol symbolizes transmission and the ability to always look toward the future. It is offered to future jewelers as a source of inspiration, affirming that French jewelry is not a static art but a living art in perpetual motion, requiring rigor, passion and boldness. These values strongly resonate with those that drive our organization.”

The Origins of L’ENVOL
L’Envol was born from the meeting of three artists: Pierre Dubail, Frédéric Mané and Jothi-Séroj.
Three powerful artistic worlds came together to create an exceptional piece, introducing both technical and artistic innovation to jewelry craftsmanship.
Pierre Dubail, founder of Maison Dubail, has two artistic passions: jewelry and painting. Maison Dubail’s ingenious idea was to create an exceptional piece bringing these two arts together.
Speech by Pierre Dubail on June 18, 2026 at the UFBJOP
Pierre Dubail learned the art of stone setting at the Haute École de Joaillerie in the 1960s and has since created the jewelry and high jewelry collections of Maison Dubail, presented in its Paris boutiques on Place Vendôme and the Champs-Élysées, with over 30 years of presence on Place Vendôme.
His passion for painting has also been part of his life for more than 60 years. His creative universe is inspired by nature, butterflies, flowers and sapphires.
Speech by Frédéric Mané on June 18, 2026 at the UFBJOP
Frédéric Mané is a renowned Parisian jewelry designer. At the Haute École de Joaillerie in Paris, he trained in the art of jewelry design with boundless creativity.
His pursuit of rarity and material innovation enables him to create high jewelry pieces that balance disruption of traditional codes with the transmission of French high jewelry values.
The French Institute of Design awarded him the JANUS “Heritage & Innovation” label in 2022.
His mission with the Dubail family was to imagine an exceptional piece inspired by both Pierre Dubail’s jewelry creations and paintings.
“Its name, L’ENVOL, feels like an obvious choice. It symbolizes optimism, elevation and generosity toward others, especially younger generations of talented individuals.”

Jothi-Séroj
Jothi-Séroj is an internationally renowned French jeweler and sculptor.
Graduating from the École Boulle at the age of 20, his creations have been exhibited at the Louvre Museum of Decorative Arts, the Grand Palais in Paris and the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco.
His expertise in high jewelry and his love of art allow him to develop exceptional creations without limits, from high jewelry pieces to monumental precious objects. At the age of 27, he received his first royal commission for monumental precious objects.
The French Institute of Design awarded him the JANUS “Heritage & Innovation” label in 2023.
Speech by Bernadette Pinet-Cuoq on June 18, 2026
Deeply moved, Bernadette Pinet-Cuoq, Executive President of the UFBJOP, recalled her meeting with Mr. Pierre Dubail during a trip to China alongside Jean-Pierre Raffarin.
During that trip, Mr. Pierre Dubail expressed his desire to “give back to the profession what he had the privilege to receive.” This led to the creation in 2022 of the generous and supportive Pierre Dubail Scholarship “Jewelry for All”.
“In its fifth year, the Pierre Dubail Scholarship ‘Jewelry for All’ aims to become a unifying project for the entire profession and industry. The goal is to attract numerous contributors so that more and more scholarship students can be welcomed,” assured Bernadette Pinet-Cuoq.
All exhibitions organized in support of the Pierre Dubail Scholarship have been held under the high patronage of Jean-Pierre Raffarin.
Mr. Pierre Dubail, Isabelle Dubail and Frédéric Mané
The teachers and students of the Haute École de Joaillerie paid tribute to Mr. Pierre Dubail by presenting him with a precious creation celebrating both the jewelry profession and his passion for painting.
The creation consists of a lapis lazuli plaque symbolizing a canvas painted in blue, Mr. Dubail’s favorite color, placed on an easel and accompanied by solid silver paintbrushes.
