"With a desire to give gold jewelry a new lease of life, creating an
entirely new and unique genre to satisfy fashion whims,
and give jewelry workers a more sustainable livelihood, I had
the idea of applying passementerie, lacework, tulle, etc. to
my industry by replicating them in gold. For gold lace and tulle,
this involves assembling links or stitches in imitation of
chainmail of old, or lace stitches, or
fish scales. This imitation lace or tulle, arranged in
stitches or unstitched, will be of great use in
ladies' toilettes."
