    How it unfolds

    Four stages, from sketch to bracelet.

    • 01

      The heritage

      Our artisans welcome you and introduce the House’s craft and its Abécédaire, where the calligraphy of the wire has been codified since 2016.

    • 02

      The learning

      You draw your initial in a single line, without a break, then your hands get to know a first copper wire and the atelier’s tools.

    • 03

      The shaping

      With pliers, you learn to hold the wire’s tension, angle and curve without marking the metal, then you shape your initial in the metal you chose. A tumbler of steel beads polishes and work-hardens it: the metal hardens, the piece holds.

    • 04

      The signature

      You choose your cord, and you leave with your personalized initial bracelet and your certificate of craftsmanship.

    Immersion or private group

    The atelier, just for you.

    A full immersion in the atelier, alongside our artisans, for one to four people; or, as a private group of up to 10 people, time with loved ones, a bachelorette party, an occasion to celebrate, a team to bring together.

The format is flexible and adapts to your wishes and your event.

    An Atelier Paulin piece speaks of a bond. Shaping it together is already a way to celebrate it.
