Craftsmanship
Beauty is born of precision.
A successful jewel is a balance: an emotion carried by an exact geometry, a secure setting, an impeccable finish. Seven crafts meet in every piece — not one of them is enough on its own.
The crafts
Seven different hands on the same piece.
Drawing
It all starts in pencil, then in gouache: the piece is painted to scale and dimensioned before any machine is involved. This is where the proportions are decided.
3D design
The drawing becomes geometry: minimum thicknesses, a housing for every stone, clearance for the setter's tool. The piece becomes buildable — and visible before it exists.
Gemmology
Choosing the stone before the mount: origin, cut, proportions, what a certificate really says. We look for the exact stone rather than settling for what is in stock.
Jewellery making
Casting, shaping, soldering, adjusting to a tenth: the metal takes on body. This is where the model's geometry becomes an object you can hold.
Stone setting
Every stone is placed in its grain, pushed by hand. The setting must hold firmly without ever biting into the light.
Polishing
The final buffing, the one that gives gold its depth. These last gestures make the difference between a correct jewel and an exceptional piece.
Rhodium plating
For white gold, a rhodium deposit by electrolysis: a few microns that fix the whiteness of the metal and protect the surface for the long term.
3D design
See your jewel before it exists.
3D modelling is not a gadget: it is what lets you decide with full confidence. It guarantees:
