The intricacy of jewelry work intersects with the detail of tapestries in a series of images that combine two crafts of savoir-faire. From the artisans who work gold, other metals, and precious stones into exquisite pieces to those who handle thread with a mastery as ancient as the beauty of their handcrafted works, the simplicity traditionally linked to sewing—a craft once so domestic and humble—gains luxurious contours, not only through its association with haute joaillerie pieces but also through the exclusivity of its rarity. The gold thread and textile thread come together with the thread of creativity to adorn the pages that follow.
