The brand story is about the artist, his creative universe, his passion for sculpting and his attention to shapes and colours and the way they interact together. André’s highly inventive creations, exquisitely outlining a central stone or baroque pearl and studded with row of diamonds or with aged or polished gold, become conversation pieces triggered by the surprise and emotion they create, and immediately recognizable.
André Marcha was born and raised in a family of jewellers. Having done his apprenticeship as a diamond setter as well as a wax sculptor, he debuted in Beirut in 1969 by opening his workshop, supplying the local jewellery scene under the ANDRE MARCHA brand.
In the nineties, his creations went beyond conventional jewellery pieces. ANDRE MARCHA was approached by private art collectors for the conception and execution of big art pieces fully set with precious stones destined to be displayed in palaces and museums: the Ultimate line was born.
In the late 90’s, ANDRE MARCHA opened his flagship boutique in the newly renovated Phoenicia Intercontinental Hotel considered as one of the most glamorous landmarks in the Middle East followed by the international expansion: from private & exclusive showrooms in the Gulf (Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Dubai), Los Angeles and European capitals (Paris, London, Istanbul), to more than six Auction Sales at both the prestigious Christie’s and Sotheby’s.
ANDRE MARCHA, with its singular identity and unique style, cultivates today an elite clientele, from Middle Eastern princesses, local and international celebrities, to European art dealers, proving once again that art is born of the unveiling of great dreamers.

The beautiful shapes and movement of hanged or loose fabric was the inspiration behind this line with attention to the contrasts, shadows and highlights of the curves. ANDRE MARCHA plays with shades of diamonds to accentuate the illusion of depth. The result is a line of extremely sensual and artistic pieces.
ANDRE MARCHA’s inspiration for this collection comes from his early years of apprenticeship as a wax sculptor. The flow of melting wax surrounding a central stone is what characterizes this line. The original pieces are born from the contrast between sharp, geometric lines and curved drops of melting matter.
ANDRE MARCHA’s creations are in essence homage to nature with all of its poetry and majesty. The artist strives to stay true to the colours, wonders and mysteries found in the wildlife. The result is a line of extremely original pieces from colourful fruits and vegetables to poisonous flowers and splendid creatures translating the profound fascination of the jeweller with Mother Nature.
This collection regroups unique Art pieces and extraordinary sculptures set with thousands of diamonds (hundreds of carats) and created exclusively for the art connoisseurs.
