Marie-Hélène de Taillac is renowned for her exquisite creations that meld together 22k gold with the very best colored gemstones sourced from around the world. She changed the way that the modern women looked at coloured gems, as she introduced to us stones that were largely overlooked or not deemed interesting. Today those gems are used by all the great houses but it can easily said that Marie Helene was the trend setter. Marie-Hélène was one of the first modern European designers to produce superior collections of fine jewelry in an Indian workshop.
Through her work, each piece expresses the boldness and brilliance of East Asian craftsmanship, combined with french classic elegance. Based on her passion for gemstones and her background in art history, Marie-Hélène has reshaped contemporary jewelry.
Her one-of-a-kind pieces, produced to the highest standards of jewelry design, can be worn as easily with a couture dress as with everyday apparel. De Taillac jewelry is for the woman who wants to boldly wear precious creations of the utmost quality anytime and any place.
Marie-Hélène holds a special place in Jill’s life and have been friends since opening her boutique over 25 years ago. Based on their relationship, Jill is not only a regular at the showroom in Paris, but has also visited the atelier in India. Both women share a passion for colorful gemstones and often discuss their finds, collected by hunting for unique pieces around the world. Jill was equally touched that Marie Hélène named one of her statement necklaces after her and can be viewed in the central page of her book Gold and Gems by Marie Helene de Taillac, Rizzoli.
