About Us
Meet Jeanne and Hélène Karpov, twin sisters, born and bred in Paris.
From an early age, they were immersed into the world of art. Naturally, they found their own way into it – deciding to create beauty around them.
They chose jewelry and jewelry chose them back.
Hélène worked for 15 years at Van Cleef & Arpels. There, she designed high-end jewelry pieces for numerous collections.
Jeanne practiced her art for a dozen jewelry houses in Place Vendôme owned by LVMH, Richemont and Kering groups.
In 2020, they launched their 1st Jewelry Line “Précieux Élixirs” : https://karpov.paris
Nowadays, after almost 20 years spent working for prestigious and exclusive houses, they’ve decided to share everything they know about design and the secret art of jewelry gouache thus allowing everyone to discover this wonderful world of high-en jewelry along them!
“Hélène and Jeanne are like shining stars showing us the way: they just lit up the studio with their creativity. Their gouaches were works of art in their own right that in turn inspired these other works of art, the jewels.”
