Industry Reviews
"Jewelry Designer Marie-Helene de Tailac Is Releasing a Book. Parisian jewelry designer Marie-Hélène de Taillac is teaming up with Rizzoli for her first book, Gold and Gems: The Jewels of Marie-Hélène de Taillac. The tome features a forward by Vanessa Friedman, and additional text by Nathalie Rykiel, Ines de la Fressange, and Hamish Bowles. Gold and Gems will be available in September." —DAILY FRONT ROW  

"...she takes us on a journey through her vivid world in which rich hues of special gems set the tone of the collection and inspire the settings and the spare beauty that relies on her mastery of color and her creative blending of different palettes which she believes evoke a magical and exuberant effect." —FORBES.COM 

"Those who have visited Marie- Hélène de Taillac’s New York City jewel box of a salon won’t be surprised to know that the first coffee-table book dedicated to the designer is just as sumptuous as her colorful namesake collection. Ensconced in a case featuring a rainbow of jewels, the lapis lazuli-colored tome, published by Rizzoli, is largely a visual catalogue of the brand’s designs over the years, interspersed with essays from the likes of New York Times Chief Fashion Critic Vanessa Friedman and fashion journalist Hamish Bowles."
