Precious Stones

Blue sapphires, rainbow sapphires, fancy sapphires, emeralds, diamonds: in the Precious Stones collection, Atelier Paulin lets stone and precious wire speak to one another. Since 2014, the Maison has hand-shaped jewelry in Paris where every setting is designed to let light pass through the stone rather than smother it under metal. There is no industrial stamping here: each piece is hand-shaped, in 14k gold-filled, sterling silver, or 18k gold, by an artisan who adjusts the wire to the exact tension each stone requires.

Precious Stones: our selection

The collection brings together three families of jewelry. On the bracelet side, the Personalized Double Wrap Bracelet - blue sapphire and its emerald counterpart pair the double wrap with precious wire hand-shaped into an initial or a name. The Nonza Chain Bracelet, finer in design, comes in blue sapphire, emerald, rainbow sapphire, and fancy sapphire, while the Double Wrap Chain Bracelet and the Riviera Bracelet offer a continuous line of stones for those who prefer sparkle without a personalized name.

For necklaces, the Trillion Diamond Pendant Necklace showcases an uncommon diamond cut, while the Endless Love Necklace and the Riviera Choker Necklaces (blue sapphire, fancy sapphire, rainbow sapphire, emerald) offer the stone riviera in a shorter, close-to-the-neck version.

For earrings, the Single Chain Earring comes in blue sapphire, rainbow sapphire, fancy sapphire, and emerald, sold individually so you can build your own combinations, alongside the Single Emotion Earring. Finally, the Emotion Ring, its Stackable version, and the Turquoise Emotion Stackable Ring bring the stone into everyday wear, whether stacked or worn alone.

How to choose based on the message you want to shape or the occasion

Some pieces in the collection can be personalized: an initial, a name, or a short word hand-shaped in precious wire, like a discreet signature. This is the case for the Personalized Double Wrap Bracelet, available in all three sapphire shades and in emerald. For a gift meant to mark a date, this option anchors the piece in a specific story. For a ready-to-wear piece with no lettering, the Chain, Riviera, and Nonza styles offer the same quality of setting and the same attention to hand-shaping, but with a simpler read centered on the stone alone.

The choice of stone also points to the occasion. Blue sapphire, deep and classic, works well for a piece meant to last without ever going out of style. Rainbow sapphire, with its multicolor play, speaks to those who like to wear a singular piece — almost a visual signature. Fancy sapphire, rarer, shines on the Nonza and Riviera styles thanks to its warm hue, unusual in fine jewelry. Emerald, finally, brings a green depth that stands out equally well against 14k gold-filled or sterling silver.

What occasion calls for this jewelry?

A precious stone naturally marks a milestone: a birthday, an engagement, a graduation, or simply the desire to treat yourself to a piece that will last for years. The Nonza Chain Bracelet - blue sapphire and its rainbow sapphire counterpart work well as a birthday gift, worn alone or stacked with a bracelet from the Personalized Gold and Silver Bracelets collection. For an engagement or a wedding, the Endless Love Necklace and the Emotion Ring, designed as pieces meant to be passed down, find their natural place. The Single Chain Earrings, sold individually, allow for a gift that grows over time: you complete the pair occasion by occasion, which makes them a favorite as a Mother's Day gift or as a treat-yourself piece.

For a birth or a christening, we'd rather point you toward the Kids collection or toward styles without a stone personalization, simpler in design, while those who favor less gendered jewelry will find pieces with a similar aesthetic to our Chain Bracelets in Men's Jewelry.

Materials, personalization, and care

Every piece in the Precious Stones collection is available in 14k gold-filled, sterling silver, or 18k gold. 14k gold-filled and sterling silver pieces are hand-shaped in 1 to 3 business days; 18k gold, denser, takes 2 to 5 business days. Every order then ships via DHL Express, delivered within 48 hours, duties included: no hidden fees on delivery, anywhere in the world.

Setting a precious stone calls for particular care during hand-shaping: the stone is set only after the wire has been adjusted, never before, to guarantee even tension and prevent any play in the setting. On personalizable styles, the initial or name is hand-shaped in precious wire before the stone is set, following the artisan know-how passed down in the atelier.

For care, avoid prolonged contact with chlorinated water, perfume applied directly on the stone, and impact on finely set styles like the Riviera Bracelet. A soft cloth and flat storage, away from other jewelry, are enough to preserve the sparkle of sapphire, emerald, or diamond over time. To complete a set, the Necklaces collection and the Rings collection share the same materials, making it easy to pair pieces together.
