At the same time, wanting to expand the range of creativity, he began to create sculptures in stainless steel, nickel-plated metals and even platinum. Chrome, stone and wooden bracelets, stone rings also became interesting projects. The maestro devoted thirty years of his life to the design and development of products made of gold, silver and platinum. The luxury of his creations captivated many secular people of that time, but Jean’s creative potential was so great that at one fine moment he felt cramped within the profession of a jeweler. Jean Despres found himself in the art of perfumery and became a great perfumer of the 20th century.
