Estelle Lagarde
A gouache artist and designer, Estelle creates her High Jewellery and Watches gouaches with infinitesimal precision, transforming the colours of Linel into genuine jewels on grey paper.

Passionate about drawing, she has cultivated her creative spirit since a very young age. In 2009, during her jewellery training at the Lycée Amblard in Valence, Estelle discovered her passion: jewellery gouaché. A love story began then. Emotion is the starting point for every creation.

At the Van Cleef & Arpels creative studio in Paris, Estelle honed her skills as a professional jewellery gouache artist. Estelle then left for Switzerland, where she discovered the art of enamelling in a watchmaking workshop for four years. Following a burnout, Estelle decided to make her dreams come true and rediscover what makes her heart beat: painting.

In 2018, the young artist opened her own jewellery and watch design studio. But she didn't stop there! Grateful for the teaching she was fortunate to receive, she decided to share her knowledge, and thus founded a training website dedicated to jewellery gouaché with her brother Thibaud: Lagardejewelrydrawing.

Following numerous collaborations with world-renowned jewellery and watchmaking maisons, the ambitious creator is now turning towards an even more grandiose project: creating her own brand. Little by little, projects are coming to life and her brand is no longer a utopia! It is with this phrase that Estelle immerses us in her identity: "Dreams belong to reality."
