From October to November 1989
Trainee as a jewel designer at Cartier Haute Joaillerie – 13, rue de la Paix – 75001 Paris. Jewelry design department.
During my training, I learned as an intern to draw jewels and achieve paintings with gouache.
I was a very rewarding experience and I was allowed, thanks to my internship master, to meet every person involved in the making of a jewel. I wanted to understand how my drawing could transform into an effective jewel through its journey across all these fine crafts: stone-cutters, stone-polishers, stone-setters, jewellers, diamond merchants…
I want to express my gratitude to Mr Corentin Quideau, director of Cartier Haute Joaillerie; to all the jewelry design department and Cyril Conrade for their warm welcome and teaching.
Here, a personal study build upon an emerald, for a necklace and a bracelet.
