Brooches

A statement piece as much as an intimate one, the personalized Atelier Paulin brooch transforms every outfit into a quiet declaration. Since 2014, our Parisian atelier has hand-shaped pieces in precious wire — yellow 14k gold-filled, sterling silver 925, or 18k gold — crafting jewelry meant to live on a coat lapel, a shirt collar, or a jacket strap. No rigid clip, no cast medallion: each brooch is hand-shaped wire by wire, point by point, with the same exacting standard as our bracelets and necklaces.

A world of shapes, from classic to personalized

The collection is built around two signature silhouettes. The Original Brooch, with its pin-stem mechanism, settles onto any fabric like a word you carry with you — a first name, an initial, a chosen word. The Personalized Safety Pin Brooch - Yellow 14k Gold-Filled reclaims the iconic safety pin shape for an effect that is equal parts fashion-forward and sentimental. More graphic in spirit, the Mini Heart Brooch - Yellow 14k Gold-Filled plays with the geometry of a heart hand-shaped in volume — a ready-to-wear piece, no personalization required, shipped within 24 hours. Finally, the Heart Pin's - Silver fits naturally into a collecting logic: layer them, mix them, gift them.

Atelier Paulin craftsmanship: hand-shaping in precious wire

Each brooch begins as a strand of precious metal wire worked cold — a work-hardening technique that gives it both its shape memory and its everyday resilience. Tension points are reinforced by laser micro-welding, ensuring long-lasting hold without rigidity or fragility. Three material tiers are available: 14k gold-filled 585/1000 (yellow gold, rose gold), sterling silver 925, and 18k gold (750/1000) for the most precious pieces — including the Personalized Original Brooch - Yellow 18k Gold and the Personalized Safety Pin Brooch - Rose 18k Gold.

How do you personalize your brooch?

Personalizable styles accommodate a word, a first name, or an initial hand-shaped in precious wire — up to ten characters depending on the style. Manufacturing time is 1 to 3 business days for gold-filled and sterling silver 925, and 2 to 5 business days for 18k gold. DHL Express delivery (48h within Europe) follows. For a gift-ready experience, the L'Original Gift Set - Yellow 14k Gold-Filled brings together brooch and case in packaging designed to be given. The personalized brooch pairs naturally with our Personalized Jewelry collection to build a cohesive look.

Atelier Paulin brooches don't get put away — they get worn, handed down, layered across the same panel of fabric like so many fragments of a story hand-shaped in Paris.
