After her diploma in Arts & Crafts in Paris, Estelle Lagarde started working at Van Cleef & Arpels where she practiced her gouache techniques for 5 years, painting some of the most exquisite high jewellery pieces of Place Vendôme. Eager to pursue her high jewellery and watchmaking dreams, Estelle started her own company in 2018, developing painting courses with videos and exercises aiming at amateurs and professionals. Ms Lagarde also works on her own collection of high jewellery creations made of colourful precious stones that will be launched in 2023.
