Process & creations

A jewel always begins with a drawing.

What you see here is not a catalogue. It is the journey of an idea: a few pencil lines, a wireframe accurate to a tenth of a millimetre, a metal that appears before it exists, then the object itself. Every piece shown here was drawn, modelled and developed in-house.

The story

A client came to us with a diamond she had received as a family legacy. A 1.7-carat brilliant that had stayed in its case for years: she had never worn it, for want of a mount that felt like her.

Carte blanche, with a single rule — held from one end of the project to the other: nothing should ever come in front of the stone.

We drew two rose gold rails that never meet. The diamond is carried above empty space by four claws, the gallery stays fully open, light passes underneath. Sixty-six brilliants of eleven hundredths follow the rails and fade before it.

She put it on the day it was delivered and has not taken it off since. The stone was passed on to her; the ring will be passed on in turn.

01 / 04 — The idea

A few lines, and the piece already exists.

The first sketch fixes the essentials: the height of the stone, the gap between the two rails, how the hand will settle onto it. Nothing is measured yet — everything is already decided.

Control views

Three orthographic views pulled from the model: this is where the measurements are approved, before any machining.

The journey

Nine steps, one guiding thread.

You always know where your piece stands, and nothing moves forward without you.

01

Conversation

You tell us about your project. We listen, ask the right questions, and frame the intention and budget together.

02

Research

References, stones, proportions: we explore the possible directions and gather a visual world that feels like you.

03

Design

Several proposals are drawn around your idea. You react; one direction takes hold.

04

3D modelling

The piece is developed in three dimensions, to a tenth of a millimetre. You discover it in realistic render, from every angle.

05

Approval

You approve the model, the stone, the metal and the final quotation. Your agreement is what launches production — not before.

06

Crafting

The metal takes shape: casting, fitting, assembly. Every operation is checked against the approved model.

07

Setting

The stone is set using the technique planned from the design stage — for the stone's safety and the purity of the line.

08

Finishing

Polishing, surface finishes, final checks. This is where the piece gains its light.

09

Delivery

Your jewel comes to you — personal hand-over or secure, insured shipping, with its case.

A bespoke piece takes the time it deserves.

Allow generally six to twelve weeks depending on the complexity of the project and stone availability. We give you a precise schedule as soon as the model is approved.
