Are humans adapting to measures or measures made from/for humans? Étalons is a series of jewels inspired by the spontaneous gesture of measuring with hands and fingers. The jewels give the possibility to get your fingers positionned in a precise measure. The pieces are wearable tactile tools. The set is composed of three rings, two bracelets and a necklace, and give the measures of 1mm, 1cm, 5cm, 10cm and 20cm.
