Light, held in gold.
We make few things, slowly. Each piece is drawn, cast and hand-set by a single bench — an object to be worn for a lifetime, then handed on.
A jewel should be quiet in the room and loud only to the one who wears it. We make for that intimacy — not for the photograph.

Enquire about this pieceThe atelier
A piece passes through one pair of hands.
When a commission begins, a single sertisseur is assigned to it and stays with it to the hallmark. The gold is poured at our own furnace; the stones are set under loupe by daylight only. Nothing is sub-let, and nothing is hurried.
It is slower, and it is dearer. It is also the only way we know to make a thing that improves with a hundred years of wear.
