The Workshop

From Drawing to Piece

Every piece follows the same steps, from the first line to the final inspection.

  1. Drawing

    The piece begins with a drawing: proportions, volumes and the placement of the stones are set before any making begins.

  2. Model

    The drawing is translated into a technical plan, then into a wax or 3D model that sets the exact shape of the piece.

  3. Making

    The precious metal takes the shape of the model; the piece is then refined, assembled and adjusted to its exact dimensions.

  4. Setting

    The stones are set one by one and held by the metal: prongs, beads or bezel, depending on the design.

  5. Polishing

    Polishing and finishing bring out the shine of the metal and the precision of the volumes.

  6. Inspection

    The piece is inspected before it leaves the workshop: finishing, stone security and dimensions.
