Gouaches
Our book was a victim of its own success and is unfortunately no longer available. For the moment, we have no plans to reprint it, as we want our books to remain exceptional art works and not be widely distributed, but we still have 4 books left from our limited edition. These are the very last!
It contains 57 of our most beautiful gouaches, many of them total exclusives, meaning that we have never shown them anywhere - neither on Instagram, nor on our site, not even in our courses!

Silver embossing, matt snow-white pages, perfectly rendered colors-make this edition a real gem in my library. I can look at your drawings in your book “Gouaches” for hours. There is so much elegance and purity in them - absolute perfection. Thank you for your work. A true emerald treasure”

“I have been struggling for years to find a book on high jewelry gouaches!!! Thank you for sharing your art and expertise in your wonderful book! I am so happy to finally have a copy at home. When is the next one?”

“A book of Hélène and Jeanne’s extraordinary work was long overdue! It’s been a pleasure being part of it. My favorite part? Probably seeing requests arriving from the place Vendôme to put one, two, three aside for each big house where Hélène and Jeanne worked. Their skill really is unparalleled!"
___Fanny, project manager
“When Hélène and Jeanne told me high jewelry books weren’t available for sale, I couldn’t believe it. It made me even happier to have been part of this project. My favorite part was creating together the sequence: organising ten years of utterly beautiful creations into a flow that pleases the eye but also tells a story."
