La Récolte · Harvest
It starts with gold that already exists.
Old jewelry, workshop filings and broken chains are gathered, assayed and refined back to pure gold before we alloy it to 18k. Nothing is newly mined.

De la récolte au packshot
From harvest to packshot, in six chapters.
II
La Fonte · Melt
Poured by hand at 1,064 °C.
We melt in small batches so every ingot can be traced to the pieces it becomes. The pour takes seconds; the alloy is checked before and after.
1,064 °C where gold turns liquid
III
La Forge · Form
Drawn, rolled, rounded.
The ingot is rolled flat, drawn through steel plates until it is fine as a band, then rounded on the mandrel and soldered closed. Forged metal is denser, so it wears longer.
18 passes through the drawplate
IV
Le Sertissage · Set
Four claws, one steady hand.
The stone is seated, then each claw is pushed over by hand and checked under the loupe. Low enough for knitwear, tight enough for a lifetime.
0.1 mm tolerance on every claw
V
Le Polissage · Polish
Three polishes, two inspections.
Felt, then cotton, then a final mirror polish. A second jeweller inspects the piece before it is hallmarked. If it isn't right, it goes back to the bench.
2 sets of eyes on every piece
VI
Le Packshot · Photograph
You see your piece before we send it.
Every order is photographed in our studio in natural light, and the picture is emailed to you before dispatch. Then it is boxed in olive leather, tied in honey ribbon and insured to your door.

Before you decide
Questions, answered.
Still deciding? A jeweller will answer by video, phone or in the atelier, whichever feels easiest.
Talk to a jewellerAre lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. They are carbon crystallised exactly like a mined diamond, with the same hardness, fire and brilliance. Only the origin differs, and every stone over 0.3 ct comes with an independent grading report.
How does 0.0% APR work?
At checkout you can split the price into four equal instalments, paid every two weeks, with no interest and no fees when each is paid on time. Approval depends on eligibility; the full note is at the foot of this page.
I don't know the ring size. What now?
Measure a ring she already wears with our on-screen sizer, or pick your best guess: resizing is free within 60 days of delivery.
How long does delivery take?
Pieces in stock ship in 3–5 business days, made-to-order pieces in 7–10. You receive a photograph of your piece before it leaves the atelier.
Can I return it?
Within 30 days, unworn, for a full refund with a prepaid label. Engraved and bespoke pieces are final sale.
Do you engrave?
Inside rings and on the back of medallions, up to 20 characters, at no charge. You'll see a preview as you type.
Letters from the atelier.
New pieces a week early, the odd photograph from the bench, and a care kit with your first order.
