This is our community of artists and craftworkers working with gold leaf and gold powders.
Jewels with evocative names: "Bijoux Sauvages", "Bijoux de la Nature", "Sculpture-Bijoux": Ode to Mother Nature, primary source of inspiration. Subtle construction of an unlikely alliance of precious materials, seeds, shells, mushrooms, bones, shells, beetles, feathers, silver, bronze and precious stones. The alliance of the work of art and the object to be worn.
Work: gold leaf, wisteria shells, cultured pearls and silk.

Grégory Schulé is a Swiss artist inspired by the graffiti art and especially its calligraphic quality. He uses gold leaf which by its specific reflection encapsulates the vitality and the strength of this street art. His unique art is thus situated between a contemporary visual universe and the ancestral skill of gilding.
The greed for wilderness, for health, salvation...and beauty constantly brings me to new tasks and projects that will finish me. Minerals and gemstones span all qualities and I have been working with them for 30 years.

Based at the gates of Geneva, Eliane Chappuis conceives her creations as travels, discoveries of new forms and new associations. She is inspired by traditional lines to create resolutely contemporary models. She likes to play with materials, in a constant search for aesthetics and originality. She uses an ancient Korean technique, the "Keum boo", which allows her to integrate gold leaf into 925 silver.
