Hand-shaped in Paris
Each piece is formed by hand from a single continuous precious wire, then work-hardened as a whole. A Paris atelier since 2014.

Our guaranteesFour letters, three ways to wear them. Outline shapes the initial into a three-dimensional motif across rings, ear cuffs, and cuff bracelets, in sterling silver or yellow 14k gold-filled wire. The wire casts a shadow that traces the outline of the letter rather than cutting into a flat surface: that's the whole principle of hand-shaping, as opposed to engraving.
Outline: our selection
The collection is built around four initials, each shaped across three types of pieces. On the ring side, the Outline Letter L Ring - Yellow 14k Gold-Filled and the Outline Letter O Ring - Silver carry the same three-dimensional design in two different materials. For the ear, the Outline Letter V Ear Cuff - Yellow 14k Gold-Filled sits without a piercing, while the Outline Letter E Ear Cuff for Men - Silver takes the same line into a version shaped for a man's ear. The wrist gets its own piece with the Outline Letter L Cuff Bracelet - Yellow 14k Gold-Filled, which takes on the rigid, open form of a cuff. Every style comes in sterling silver and yellow 14k gold-filled wire, so the tone can be matched to jewelry already worn, or to the person in mind.
How to choose: initial and material
The choice starts with the letter — L, O, V, or E — the first letter of a name or a short word. Material comes next. Sterling silver gives a bright, white tone, hypoallergenic and suited to sensitive skin. Yellow 14k gold-filled wire, also known as 14k Gold Filled, carries a solid layer of gold noticeably thicker than standard gold plating and isn't affected by water: showering, swimming, or the beach are not a problem — only intense physical activity calls for taking it off, to protect the fine detail of the wire. The type of piece then depends on how it will be worn: a ring for discreet, everyday wear, an ear cuff for a visible letter without altering the earlobe, a cuff bracelet for a bolder presence on the wrist. Nothing stops you from pairing two initials across two different pieces, for two names worn separately.
Materials and personalization
Outline pieces are hand-shaped in sterling silver or yellow 14k gold-filled wire, two materials that ask for no complex care: a soft cloth is enough for the gold-filled wire, and silver may develop a light, natural, reversible tarnish on contact with air, without affecting its quality. Ring sizes range from 48 to 62 (French sizing). Since 2014, Atelier Paulin has hand-shaped its pieces in Paris, wire by wire, using a single continuous length of precious wire worked with pliers, before the whole piece is work-hardened to set its shape memory. Each piece is presented in a gift box. Hand-shaping takes 1 to 3 business days for silver or gold-filled wire, followed by 2 to 5 days for home delivery; in Paris, personalization can be done directly at the atelier in about thirty minutes.
To continue exploring, Rings and Men's Jewelry offer other formats in the same spirit, while Personalized Jewelry brings together every piece available to be hand-shaped to order, by word or initial.
