The collections
Curated edits
Three ways into the atelier: sculptural gold, bridal pairs, and the diamonds you never take off.

The craft
From a flowing piece of gold to something made to be worn.
01
Poured
Recycled 18k gold is melted at over 1,000 °C and poured into an ingot: the raw light every piece is made from.
02
Formed
The metal is rolled, drawn and hammered into shape at the bench, then filed by hand until the lines are exact.
03
Set
Each diamond is set under magnification, its claws raised and bent one at a time so the stone sits level and secure.
04
Worn
Polished to a mirror finish and inspected under the loupe, the piece leaves the atelier ready for a lifetime of wear.
Diamond education
The four Cs
Cut, colour, clarity and carat: the language every diamond is described in. Here is what each one means for the stone you choose.
Cut decides the sparkle.
A well-cut diamond returns the light that enters it through the top, as brilliance and fire. It is the only one of the four Cs shaped by human hands, so it is where we never compromise: our round brilliants are Excellent or Ideal.

Worn and loved
The ring arrived in a box that felt like a ceremony. Six months on, it still catches the light every time I move my hand.
A. M.Aurore Solitaire, platinum They walked me through every certificate and let me compare three stones side by side. No pressure, only care.
