One Troy Ounce Gold Ingot designed by Jean Paul Gaultier
“I’ve always enjoyed taking codes and popular symbols deeply anchored in tradition and giving them a new twist, modernizing or enhancing them. So I obviously could not resist the opportunity offered to decorate the first French Ounce of Gold.
In my family, the women all wear those guilloche medallions made in the Fifties and I wanted to rediscover this art of extremely fine relief work that so perfectly complements gold and its infinite luster. So, I evidently worked on all that in a tattoo spirit, very Gaultier, with considerable passion and good humor.”
