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?

Each piece begins as a single, continuous strand of precious wire, hand-shaped by an artisan at the atelier. The wire is shaped with pliers, then work-hardened cold across the entire piece once shaping is complete, giving it its memory of form and resilience. At tension points, laser micro-welding reinforces the piece: the hand-shaped wire is always micro-welded, never assembled without this step. This gesture, inherited from precious wire craftsmanship, is what sets an Atelier Paulin piece apart from jewelry made any other way. Since 2014, the Parisian atelier has carried this craft forward on every creation, regardless of the material chosen.

What materials are available for this piece?

Atelier Paulin hand-shapes its creations in sterling silver 925, 14k gold-filled wire (585/1000 gold-filled), and 18k gold (750/1000). Gold-filled is available in yellow and rose only, while 18k gold comes in yellow, rose, and white. To see exactly which materials are available for this specific piece, please check the options listed on the product page, or reach out to the atelier's customer care team for precise guidance.

What exactly is 14k gold-filled?

14k gold-filled wire (585/1000 gold-filled) is a legally defined term in English-language jewelry making. It consists of a solid layer of 585/1000 gold bonded by heat or pressure onto a brass or bronze base. This technique gives it 50 to 100 times more gold than traditional gold plating, with properties close to solid 585 gold wire. It comes in yellow and rose. It's a material the atelier hand-shapes with the same care as its other precious wires, for pieces made to last.

Is sterling silver 925 suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. The silver used by Atelier Paulin is sterling silver 925, an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver, with a minimum fineness of 925. Its bright, luminous white color comes paired with skin-friendly qualities: it's hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it a particularly good choice for sensitive skin. It's a living metal that may develop a light, natural, and reversible tarnish when exposed to air or moisture, without affecting its quality.

Do I need to remove my gold-filled piece before showering or swimming?

No, and that's actually one of the advantages of the gold-filled wire hand-shaped at the atelier: it holds up well to water. Showering, swimming, and the beach are all fine. No special care is needed, just an occasional wipe with a soft cloth to keep its shine, which is guaranteed for life on this material specifically. The only thing to avoid is intense physical activity or repeated handling, which can affect the delicate form of the hand-shaped wire.

How do I care for a sterling silver 925 piece?

Sterling silver 925 is a living metal: exposure to air, moisture, or chemicals can cause a light layer of tarnish to form. This is a natural, reversible process that never affects the quality of the hand-shaped piece. Simple care with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth is enough to restore its shine. Unlike gold-filled, it's best to avoid swimming, showering, and sports while wearing this piece, to limit prolonged contact with water and moisture.

What warranty comes with this piece?

All jewelry hand-shaped by Atelier Paulin comes with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase. Gold-filled pieces are the exception: their shine is guaranteed for life, a promise made possible by the thickness of gold applied to the metal base during shaping. This warranty covers manufacturing defects. For any questions about how it applies to this specific piece, the atelier's customer care team is available to assist you.

Can this piece be returned or exchanged?

It depends on the piece. A non-personalized item can be refunded or exchanged. However, a piece hand-shaped to order with a custom name or personalization chosen by the customer cannot be exchanged or refunded, since it was made specifically for her. We recommend checking the details on this piece's product page before purchasing, or contacting the atelier's customer care team for any questions about the return policy for your order.

How long does it take to hand-shape this piece?

Shaping time depends on the material chosen: 1 to 3 business days for sterling silver 925 and gold-filled, 2 to 5 business days for 18k gold. This timeframe covers only the time spent at the atelier shaping the piece, before shipping. Home delivery is then added on top, taking 2 to 5 days including transit. These two timeframes are separate: shaping always comes before delivery, and the two are never combined.

What's the total time to receive this piece at home?

Once hand-shaped at the atelier, your piece is delivered to your home in 2 to 5 days, including transit. This delivery time comes on top of the shaping time specific to the chosen material: 1 to 3 business days for sterling silver 925 and gold-filled, or 2 to 5 business days for 18k gold. If you're in Paris, you have two options: come have your piece personalized directly at the atelier in about thirty minutes, or have it delivered by courier the same day.

Can I pick up my piece directly at the atelier in Paris?

Yes, it's one of the Maison's signature offerings. If you're in Paris, you have two options unique to the boutique: have your piece personalized on the spot in about thirty minutes, or opt for same-day courier delivery. This option for immediate, in-person personalization at the atelier is a service few jewelry makers offer: it lets you walk out with your piece hand-shaped right before your eyes, without waiting for the usual manufacturing and shipping timeframes.

Since when has Atelier Paulin existed?

Atelier Paulin is a Parisian atelier that has been hand-shaping precious wire jewelry since 2014. Each piece, regardless of material, is shaped by hand by an artisan, then cold work-hardened to give it its memory of form and resilience. This technique of shaping the wire itself, rather than working a flat surface afterward, has been at the heart of the Maison's craft since its founding, and continues to be refined, notably through laser micro-welding reinforcement at tension points.

How does the making of this piece differ from typical jewelry?

At Atelier Paulin, every piece starts from a single, continuous strand of precious wire, hand-shaped with pliers, then cold work-hardened across the entire piece. The shape comes directly from the wire itself: it isn't achieved by working a flat surface after the fact. This artisanal technique, combined with laser micro-welding at tension points to reinforce the piece, gives each item a texture and presence unique to hand-shaped wire. This method, practiced at the Parisian atelier since 2014, is what defines the Maison's identity.

What is work-hardening and why does it matter?

Work-hardening is a cold metalworking process applied to the entire piece once shaping is complete. It gives the precious wire its memory of form and resilience, allowing the piece to hold its shape over time despite everyday handling. This step is never done letter by letter or section by section: it's applied to the piece as a whole, once the artisan has finished hand-shaping the wire. It's a discreet but essential step for the jewelry's durability.

Is the 18k gold certified?

Yes. 750/1000 gold, known as 18k gold, 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 made by one of the Maison's artisan jewelers. It comes in three colors: yellow, rose, and white. It requires no special care: cleaning with lukewarm water and mild soap, followed by drying with a soft cloth, is enough to keep its shine.

What's the difference between gold-filled and 18k gold?

These are two distinct materials. 14k gold-filled (585/1000 gold-filled) is a solid layer of gold applied to a brass or bronze base, available in yellow and rose. 750/1000 gold, or 18k gold, is a solid gold wire made of 75% pure gold, available in yellow, rose, and white, and each piece is hallmarked and certified. Both are hand-shaped using the same craftsmanship, but their composition and warranty differ: gold-filled shine is guaranteed for life, while 18k gold carries the standard one-year warranty applied to all pieces.

Is the wire really a single continuous piece?

Yes, that's the core principle behind the atelier's hand-shaping technique: each piece is made from a single strand of precious metal wire, shaped by hand with pliers, with no separate parts assembled together. This continuity of wire is then reinforced with laser micro-welding at tension points, followed by cold work-hardening across the entire piece. This approach to precious wire as a single continuous strand, shaped rather than assembled, is what has defined Atelier Paulin's work since 2014.

If this piece has a cord, is it water-resistant?

The cord used by Atelier Paulin is a high-quality synthetic fiber, resistant to water and wear over time. If your piece includes one, you can wear it every day without worrying about moisture. To find out whether this specific piece includes a cord, and its exact characteristics, please check the product page or reach out to the atelier's customer care team, who can confirm the materials used.

How do I know if this piece can be personalized?

Not every piece hand-shaped by Atelier Paulin can be personalized: it depends on the specific design. To find out whether this piece offers a personalization option, and in what form, please check its product page carefully, as it lists the available options. If you have any doubts or would like confirmation before purchasing, the atelier's customer care team is happy to help clarify what's possible for this design.
