French jewelry brand Atout Moment, founded in 1994, has a rather short history, no more than ten years. It was the second brand launched by the Ca Commence Comme Ca jewelry company based in Gallardon, northern France. The company was owned by Monsieur Didier Thébaud, a French jewelry designer who created fashionable jewelry under his own name since 1978.
When his son Denis Michel Thebaud joined the family business, the company launched two jewelry brands. In particular, “Il Etait Une Fois” (“Once upon a time”) and “Atout Moment” (“Anytime”). Initially, the designer signed his jewelry with his full name Didier Thebaud. However, since 1994, the maker’s mark included the “Atout Moment” logo in a moon and sun square, or “Il Etait Une Fois”, or even both markings.
Traditionally, the designer used gold, brass, bronze, copper and silver. Made by hand, his collections are diverse in style and design – from ethnic to modern, from minimalism to geometric. Although Ca Commence Comme Ca, located at 1 rue de la Porte de Chartres, 28 320 Gallardon, ceased to exist in 2019, they stopped making jewelry in the early 2000s.
