Gisèle Theriault began to pursue artisan jewelry design in 1990 while she was expecting her third child, a son. He was born five years to the day after her father's death. Her father was the village barber, intrigued by stories of humanity and their symmetries. Her father was a passionate listener as the barbershop echoed with stories.
When he retold many of the village's triumphs and tribulations around his family supper table the stories became imbued with a sense of human proportions and achievement. The spirit of these stories remained in Gisele's mind for many years as she travelled throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
The stories told through Gisèle's handcrafted artisan jewelry watches combine the influences of diverse cultures and times, and of course the spirit of a gentle man and a wonderful storyteller. This is where the dedication of the Barber's Daughter originated.
