The beauty of the gesture is paper rings, prepared on the mode of origami, oriental folding to multiple possibilities.

Emerging forms have been constantly reworked before they find a definitive around. Jean-Claude Blanc then embarked on the adventure by enclosing these creations of various dresses and colours, marked by work of the point that was both adventurous, impertinent, and highly creative. The beauty of the gesture is, finally, these two talents combined in an original, original achievement. Diane also offers jewellery courses to the clear concept: for everyone, they rely on the desire to create, much more than on previous experience. Each one comes to make its own jewelry, with the little technique it has, with the equipment provided by the house.
