Jean-Paul Gaultier, Laroche, Givenchy, Dior, Lagerfeld, Lacroix – fashion shows of these brands are impossible without the main emphasis – accessories and jewelry. The most talented jewelry designers worked for these fashion houses. Among such designers was the jeweler who marked her products Jacky de G. made in France. According to sources, de G may mean belonging to Guy Laroche, Gaultier, or Givenchy. However, the style of these decorations reminiscent of Lacroix or Chanel.
