ATELIER LAPIDAIRE

Art galleries

Véronique Tonton exhibits her creations (jewels and decorative eggs) in semi-precious stones in her shop. The island of La Désirade has magmatic deposits of jasper and quartz. Some of these stones are over 100 million years old. This lapidary artist has a passion for beautiful creations: she shapes gemstones, mother-of-pearl from lambi and burgot (local shells). She associates precious metals and silver. The artist organizes workshops to train visitors to cut the stones. They then leave with their creation.
