In 1949, having become a craftsman at home, he carried out a wide variety of orders requiring a great mastery of different techniques, such as marquetry on ivory, tortoiseshell and mother-of-pearl, wood and leather work, sculpture, painting or even enamelling. . In 1950, he founded his goldsmith's house in Paris, in the Marais. Three years later, he began a fruitful cooperation with Gabrielle Chanel, for whom he made jewelry until the designer's death in 1971.
