18k White Gold

What sets our 18k white gold jewelry apart

These bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings, and brooches stand apart first for their material: 18k white gold, a solid wire composed of 75% pure gold, hallmarked and certified, labeled by the Responsible Jewellery Council. Unlike gold-filled wire, which is a solid envelope over a base metal, it retains a value proportional to the amount of gold it contains, both for resale and for passing down. Another advantage: it doesn't oxidize, which makes it the material to choose for anyone who swims often, plays a lot of sport, or regularly has their hands in water. Like all our materials, it's hypoallergenic. Each piece is hand-shaped with pliers by artisans trained for months, with no molds at all, in our Paris workshop founded in 2014, then presented in a gift box. Prices range from €45 to €3,180.

Who it's for, for which occasion

Some of these pieces can be personalized, others are worn as they are, to suit every preference. An initial is never just a character picked from a pre-made alphabet: it's hand-shaped from the wire to become someone's own, and symbols — a number, a heart, an infinity sign — remain possible on request, as do the locket charms available on the site to add to any piece, with a wide choice ranging from religious symbols to the four-leaf clover to the initial. Hand-shaping a personalized piece takes about thirty minutes, which also means it can be made on the spot at the workshop. To give a gift without knowing the recipient's size or name, the Atelier Paulin gift card, from €50 to €1,500, lets them choose their own piece, material, and size; a personal note can also be added to the package as a simple comment at checkout.
