If Man has used stones as elements of adornment since the dawn of time, he has also always tried to tame them. Engraving, stone carving, is a strong act to leave an imprint, to transmit a message.
The glyptician exercises the art of engraving, cutting, sculpting gemstones. Materials and techniques unite in the hand of the artist. Bouteroles and drills, hardness and patterns of gems, intaglios, cameos and sculptures… Discover some of the secrets of the workshop with us, as well as creations on materials rarely used until now.
