MATERIAL - 14k yellow gold filled

14k yellow gold-filled, also called 14-carat gold-filled, is a noble material with a legal English designation concerning goldsmithing; it is a solid layer of 14k gold that is applied by heat or pressure to a metal base such as brass or bronze.

14k gold-filled contains 50 to 100 times more gold than a traditional "gold plated" piece of jewelry, allowing it to have the same properties as 14k gold wire.

CARE

Do Atelier Paulin gold filled jewelry pieces require special care?

No. No special maintenance is needed. Simply wiping your jewelry occasionally with a soft cloth is enough to restore its natural shine. You can wear your gold filled piece every day—rain or shine, even at the sea—it is designed to withstand life gracefully and consistently.

Can I shower or swim with my gold filled jewelry?

Yes, absolutely. Unlike gold plated pieces, gold filled jewelry is water-resistant. You can wear it in the shower, at the pool, or on the beach without worrying about tarnishing or damage. That said, to preserve the delicate shapes—especially our hand-shaped wire creations—we recommend removing them during intense physical activity or repetitive handling.

How long does gold filled jewelry last?

A well-maintained gold filled piece can last for decades or more. It is a reliable, sturdy material, perfectly suited for everyday wear. Thanks to its natural resistance, it retains its shine over time—without complex maintenance.

Why did Atelier Paulin choose gold filled?

Because we believe in lasting beauty, at the crossroads of fine craftsmanship and modern life. 14k gold filled allows us to combine ethics, excellence, and elegance, offering a piece you can wear freely, without fear of damage. A living, faithful, and radiant jewel.

At Atelier Paulin, we are committed to preserving this brilliance over time, as each gold filled piece is designed to live with you—not against time.

How is the handcrafted nature of Atelier Paulin jewelry guaranteed ?

Our commitment is rooted in the excellence of French craftsmanship. Each Atelier Paulin piece is entirely hand-crafted in our ateliers, without molds or duplication. This rare savoir-faire of working with wire gives every jewel its unique and authentic character, a true signature of the Maison, found nowhere else.

What is the philosophy behind an Atelier Paulin jewel?

Our mission is to give form to connection. Each jewel, whether personalized or from our collections, is a bearer of meaning, created to express, unite, and pass on what truly matters. We design pieces that become luminous witnesses to your family, love, or friendship stories, meant to be cherished and handed down through time.

How is this Atelier Paulin piece hand-shaped?

Like every piece from the Maison, this jewelry begins as a single strand of precious metal wire, hand-shaped by our artisan. The wire is shaped with pliers, then the entire piece is cold work-hardened: this process gives the metal its shape memory and resilience. The hand-shaped wire is also laser micro-welded at tension points, a reinforcement technique that strengthens the piece without altering its delicate silhouette. Nothing is carved into a surface — the form emerges from the wire itself, gesture after gesture. This method, practiced at our Parisian atelier since 2014, sets each creation apart and explains the time required to craft it before shipping.

What is the crafting time for this piece?

Crafting time depends on the chosen material: 1 to 3 business days for sterling silver and 14k gold-filled, and 2 to 5 business days for 18k gold. This timeframe reflects the time spent at the atelier hand-shaping the piece, not including shipping. Once crafted, the jewelry is delivered to your door in 2 to 5 days, shipping included. If you're in Paris, two options are available: an in-person personalization at the atelier in about thirty minutes, or same-day courier delivery.

How long is the warranty on this piece?

This piece comes with the Atelier Paulin one-year warranty from the date of purchase, like every creation from the Maison. The one exception in the collection: the shine of our 14k gold-filled pieces is guaranteed for life. For all other materials, the one-year warranty covers manufacturing defects identified within that period. We recommend keeping your proof of purchase for any warranty claim. For the exact terms that apply to this specific piece, our customer care team is happy to help.

Can this piece be worn every day, including in the shower or pool?

This depends entirely on the chosen material. In 14k gold-filled, no special care is needed and the piece is fully water-safe: shower, pool, and beach are all fine, unlike traditional gold plating. The only precaution is to remove it during intense physical activity, to protect the delicate hand-shaped wire. In sterling silver, however, this so-called "living" metal needs more care: it's best to avoid pools, showers, and sports, since moisture encourages natural, reversible tarnishing.

How should this piece be cared for depending on its material?

Care instructions vary by material. For 14k gold-filled, an occasional wipe with a soft cloth is enough — no other precautions needed, as it's built to last for decades. For sterling silver, a living metal, a thin layer of tarnish can appear from contact with air or moisture: this is a natural, reversible process that fades with a gentle cleaning in warm soapy water and a soft cloth. For 18k gold, no special care is required either: warm water, mild soap, and drying with a cloth are enough to keep its shine.

What is the 14k gold-filled material used by the Maison?

14k gold-filled, sometimes labeled 585/1000 gold-filled, is a legally regulated jewelry term. It refers to a solid layer of 14k gold bonded under heat and pressure to a brass or bronze base. This technique gives the piece 50 to 100 times more gold than traditional gold plating, with the same properties as solid 14k gold wire. It comes in two tones: yellow and rose. It's a material designed for everyday wear, durable and long-lasting, hand-shaped with the same care as every other material used at the atelier.

What is the difference between sterling silver and 18k gold?

Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver, with a bright, luminous white color; it's hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it well suited to sensitive skin. 18k gold, on the other hand, is a solid gold wire made of 75% pure gold, sometimes referred to as traditional French gold. Every piece hand-shaped in this material is hallmarked, certified, and crafted by one of the Maison's jewelry artisans. The two materials require different care: sterling silver needs more caution around water, while 18k gold holds up well to everyday moisture.

Can this piece be exchanged or refunded?

This depends on whether the piece is personalized or not. A non-personalized piece can be refunded or exchanged. However, a piece hand-shaped to order with a chosen word or initial cannot be exchanged or refunded, since it was made specifically for the customer. To confirm the exact terms that apply to this piece based on its configuration, please reach out to our customer care team, who will be happy to guide you.

Where are Atelier Paulin pieces hand-shaped?

Every Maison piece, including this one, is hand-shaped at our Parisian atelier, in operation since 2014. Each piece begins as a single strand of precious metal wire, shaped by hand and then cold work-hardened to lock in its shape memory. If you live in Paris, you can even come have certain pieces personalized on-site in about thirty minutes — an artisanal experience few brands offer today. This closeness between the atelier and its customers has been part of the Maison's identity since day one.

What is the laser micro-welding mentioned for this type of piece?

Laser micro-welding is a reinforcement technique applied at the tension points of the hand-shaped wire. It strengthens the piece at strategic spots, where the metal is under the most stress, without compromising the fine detail of the hand-shaped design. The hand-shaped wire is indeed laser micro-welded: this step comes in addition to the shaping and cold work-hardening process, ensuring better durability over time. It's one of the techniques that lets the Maison offer delicate jewelry that still holds up to everyday wear.

What is work-hardening, as applied to this piece?

Work-hardening is a cold-metal process applied to the entire piece once shaping is complete. It gives the precious wire its shape memory and resilience, reinforcing how well the piece holds up over time. Contrary to a common misconception, this step is never done letter by letter: it's applied to the whole piece at once, after the design has been shaped by hand. It's a key step in the atelier's craft, rooted in traditional precious wire work.

Is the cord used on some pieces water-resistant and durable for everyday wear?

When a Maison piece includes a cord, it's made of high-quality synthetic fiber, chosen for its water resistance and durability over time. This material allows for everyday wear without much concern for moisture, unlike certain metals such as sterling silver. If a piece combines hand-shaped precious wire with a cord, each component keeps its own care requirements: the cord holds up well to water, while the precious metal part follows the care guidelines specific to its material.

Can I have a piece personalized directly at the Paris atelier?

Yes, this is one of the Maison's signature experiences: if you're in Paris, you can visit the atelier directly to have your piece personalized on-site in about thirty minutes. You'll leave with your hand-shaped piece in hand, skipping the usual crafting and shipping timelines. A second option is also available for Parisians in a hurry: same-day courier delivery. Both services reflect the direct relationship the atelier has built with its customers since opening in 2014.

Is the hand-shaped lettering on personalized pieces uppercase or lowercase?

On pieces personalized with a hand-shaped word, the lettering is entirely lowercase, with one exception: the letter "J" is hand-shaped as a capital when it appears at the start of a word. Accents and apostrophes cannot be hand-shaped, but spaces can be added upon request. This lettering follows a single script style, cursive, which gives the hand-shaped word its fluid, continuous look. Note that "Capital" and "Capital Initial" styles, when available in a collection, follow a different rule and are entirely in uppercase.

What's the difference between a hand-shaped word and an initial on a personalizable piece?

The Maison offers two distinct personalization options. The hand-shaped word to order features a first name or short phrase, with a maximum number of letters specific to each design. The initial, meanwhile, features one or more letters referring to one or more first names: it's never a random letter, but always tied to a specific person. These two options don't follow the same lettering rules or character limits, and neither is necessarily available on every design in the collection.

Do Atelier Paulin ring sizes cover all finger measurements?

When a ring style is offered at Atelier Paulin, available sizes range from US size 4.5 to 10.5 (EU 48 to 62), covering a wide range of finger measurements. This range meets most needs, whether you're buying for yourself or as a gift. We recommend checking your exact size before ordering, especially if the chosen style is personalized, since it cannot be exchanged once hand-shaped.

How does hand-shaping differ from a process where the design is carved?

At Atelier Paulin, every piece begins as a single strand of precious metal wire, hand-shaped with pliers: the design takes form gradually, straight from the wire itself. It's never carved into an existing flat surface. This approach gives the piece a texture and dimension unique to the artisanal gesture, unlike a design applied afterward onto an already finished base. The whole piece is then cold work-hardened to lock in its shape. This mastery of wire, practiced at our Parisian atelier since 2014, defines the identity of every Maison creation.

Do 14k gold-filled and 18k gold come in the same tones?

No, these two materials don't offer the same color range. 14k gold-filled comes in two tones only: yellow and rose. 18k gold, on the other hand, is available in three tones: yellow, rose, and white. If you're looking for a white gold piece, you'll need to choose 18k gold, as 14k gold-filled doesn't offer that tone. This distinction is worth knowing before selecting your material, especially for a style available in multiple colors.

Can symbols be hand-shaped onto a personalizable piece?

Symbols aren't always listed among the standard personalization options, but they can be requested directly through the atelier. If you'd like to add a specific symbol to your piece, please reach out to our customer care team, who will review feasibility based on the chosen style. This flexibility comes in addition to the usual hand-shaped word or initial options, though it doesn't guarantee that every style in the collection can accommodate this type of request.
