    Every stone is traced from source to setting. The papers stay with you.

  • One atelier

    Sketch, casting, setting and polish. One roof, one team, one standard.

  • Made for you

    Cleaning, resizing and restoration, for as long as it is worn.

The Atelier

Four quiet steps, one pair of hands at a time.

  1. I

    The drawing

    Each piece begins as a drawing at the master’s desk. Proportion is settled on paper, long before any metal is touched.

  2. II

    The stone

    Stones are chosen by hand, under north light, and traced to their source. Their papers travel with the piece.

  3. III

    The setting

    Cast, assembled and set by a single maker. Claws are tapered until the stone seems to hover without support.

  4. IV

    The finish

    Polished in stages, inspected under magnification, then left to rest for a day before it leaves the bench.

Bespoke

A piece made only for you.

A commission takes about sixteen weeks, a little longer if the stone is rare. You will know where it stands at every stage. You need not arrive with a design.
