Each of these precious books is numbered, signed by both of us and comes with a unique, signed original gouache.
There are only 15 copies of this collector's edition in all (and not one more).
The hand-painted gouache you’ll receive with your book represent an object that is dear to us: a (precious) perfume bottle!
We’ve made 15 of them, each one paying homage to a different gemstone so you can choose the one you like most. Please note: first come, first served!
Please scroll through the images to see the gouaches available.
Finally, a book dedicated to jewelry gouache painting!
Because gouache is so rarely explored in published works, we set out to create a truly exceptional book — a refined, one-of-a-kind volume dedicated entirely to this exquisite craft.
A true collector’s item, the book is published in a small, exclusive print run and showcases a remarkable craft through 57 of our finest gouache renderings, all designed and illustrated by us.
A unique opportunity to discover the refined world of jewelry design.
