Ok guys, here comes the preview of the second add on, Nouveau Coffret
This one is a set, limited to only 20 units, that consists of:

· 1 Nouveau BIJOUX signed and hand-numbered deck
· Velvet covered case with a hand-embossed brass sheet on the lid
· Engraved brass card clip
· Engraved card guard depicting a joker

It will be available later today (tomorrow for some, October 5th), around 5-6 pm CEST (noon EDT) for €80 + shipping. I'm gonna make a special shipping price for those getting both Nouveau d'Or and Coffret Stay tuned for the final update tomorrow on KS!

Does this replace the tuck box (like ICONS) or is the inside the same duck/tuck but with new jacket?

Nope this one is a box, it doesn't replace the tuck. The set comes with a standard Bijoux deck with the original tuck. On the Bijoux d'Or I do replace the tuck, but not in this one

Guys, I unlocked Perle, for the hell of it

Besides the standard tiers, which are now available for both decks, here are the updated add ons
Also, I mixed them in special price packs for those that wish to get both versions of each add on (or all 4)

Great combo deals, act now!

I saw your playing cards on Kickstarter.
Excellent work.

Excellent work.

Thank you!

I also started on Kickstarter, and understand how much a complex and exciting work.
Good luck to you.

Good luck to you.

it certainly is! it's challenging indeed but worth it, the feeling of creating something and seeing it brought to life is amazing thanks and good luck to you too!

Hey guys I posted a new update on KS with photos of the physical proofs and a comment regarding metallic inks. You can check it out here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bo ... ts/1810532" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here are some pics
Regarding the metallic inks and to make it short, I compared proofs with and without them and decided that rather than adding a nice effect, it actually darkened the artwork (on the Bijoux cards) making it plain looking; in Perle's case it was just imperceptible. Because of this I decided to go without the metallic ink since the metallic effect is simply killed with this kind of artwork (you can't see it no matter the light or how you turn it). You can see the comparison pics on the KS update

hey guys, there's a new update on KS regarding the shipping

the decks should arrive in the US in 10 days more or less, and then it will take around a week to reach Gambler's Warehouse in Texas. So, if there aren't any unforeseen events, domestic shippings should reach backers by the end of April and it will take another 2-4 weeks to reach international backers. If any of you has to change the address, make sure to do so before April 10th
And here are some pics of the samples I received a few days ago, really happy with the results

I've been meaning to share some pics of the limited editions but didn't find the time to until now; here are the Bijoux d'Or, Perle du Cuivre and Coffret editions of the Nouveau Bijoux campaign I'm speacially pleased with how the cardclips turned out, I'm going to do more in the future for sure!

Hey everyone, here I am again and this time it's to make an announcement I wanted to let you all know that the Nouveau Series will have its fifth and last addition, which will be live next Saturday on Kickstarter: Nouveau Gemmes Playing Cards
Nouveau Gemmes Playing Cards follows the same jewelry-inspired style of the Nouveau Bijoux and Perle decks yet it comes with a redesigned tuck, back, courts and slight changes on Aces. This version will be a limited edition of 500 decks and will most likely be printed by EPCC. I will post more details in a new thread in a few days so stay tuned For now I can say that it will be a short 15-day campaign and there will be limited items and editions available as well
