| Statement | With gemmologists Elsa Vanier and Béatrice Trelcat at the helm, the Gallery offers an ever-evolving selection of designer jewellery.
In this cushioned, tranquil contemporary space, clients may pause to savour precious objects, choose from a wide selection of designs and prices, consult books on gems and jewellery, listen to one of Elsa’s conferences (on request) or chat with designers at opening nights in the heart of Paris’ Saint Germain des Prés.
| In addition to permanent collections, other distinguished contemporary jewellers and silversmiths display their works at the Gallery’s temporary exhibitions.
Throughout the year, new designers are exhibited at the gallery for a season, according to the exhibition themes.
Elsa carefully selects her creators, often after several interviews or visits to their workshop.

- Meeting with the diamond
Members of the public can register for conferences and workshops (50 €), to take a close look at gemstones.
The gallery can also be made available in the evening for private functions (up to 20 persons), with conference, workshop and receptions (price on request).
| Additional information | A wide range of unique, precious jewellery
Only precious metals are used (750/°° gold, 925/°° silver, titanium or platinum) often alongside rock, steel, glass or wood and the finest precious and semi-precious natural gemstones, many of which are rare varieties.
Whether baroque or organic, inspired by fauna or flora, pure poetry, radical graphics, lyrical volumes or airy creations, this is “prêt-à-porter” jewellery. It challenges with humour, fantasy and ingeniousness the formal language of the parure.

Jean-Pierre Dussaillant: Bijoux d’artiste
Quel plaisir de découvrir qu’après une première incursion dans l’art du bijou, un artiste peintre, sculpteur et graveur, élabore une nouvelle collection. Depuis la présentation de l’automne 2008, sous la forme d’un dialogue entre bijoux et sculptures, l’artiste a continué d’explorer « le monde du tout petit », en créant des objets à porter dont la taille ne réduit en rien ni la puissance d’évocation, ni la qualité d’expression.
Exposées au printemps 2011, au musée de Châteauroux dans l’Indre, les pièces nouvelles utilisent toujours les matières de base du sculpteur, plaques et tubes de laiton finies par un placage d’or ou d’argent et une grande variété de matières choisies pour leur couleur, leur aspect ou leur forme naturelle : corne, corail, os, jaspe, perles d’eau douce, perles de verre… matières intéressantes et pérennes, mais sans préciosité.
Ces pièces sentent le frais, comme si l’artiste prenait plus de liberté dans l’association des couleurs, des matières et des concepts…. Ces bijoux éclatent aussi de joie de vivre, de sensualité et d’idées malicieuses. Certaines sont franchement jubilatoires, comme « le feu de l’enfer !», tandis que d’autres gardent leur secret… On y perçoit le goût des outils et de l’univers de l’atelier. L’objet n’est pas simple décoration mais témoignage parfois un peu rude, voire insolent.

Jean-Pierre Dussaillant: An artist’s jewelry
Jean-Pierre Dussaillant works with a sort of dialogue between jewelry and sculptures. The artist is exploring “intimate art” by creating “wearable” objects, the size of which does not undermine the strength or the quality of expression.
