Hand-shaped in Paris

No mold, no duplication: at Atelier Paulin, gold wire is hand-shaped, gesture after gesture, until your word takes form. Laser micro-welding reinforces it, then barrel work-hardening strengthens the metal and gives it its shape memory. It holds its line, year after year, like the bond it carries.

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.

Can this necklace be hand-shaped in white gold?

18k gold, which includes this necklace's material, is available at Atelier Paulin in yellow, rose, and white. Since this piece is offered in 18k yellow gold, a white 18k gold version may also exist depending on the design. However, if you were considering a white gold-filled version, that material doesn't exist in our workshop — gold-filled only comes in yellow and rose. To confirm the exact finishes available for this specific model, the product page or our customer care team will give you the most reliable answer.

Can accents be added to personalized letters?

No, Atelier Paulin doesn't hand-shape accents (é, è, à, ü…) or special characters on personalized pieces. This technical limit comes from the hand-shaping gesture itself, working precious wire by hand, which can't faithfully reproduce these diacritical marks. If the word or name you want personalized includes an accent, it will simply be omitted during shaping. We recommend double-checking your desired spelling before placing your order, keeping this constraint in mind. Our customer care team can confirm the exact rendering before shipping if you have any doubts.

Are apostrophes hand-shaped into the personalized word?

No, apostrophes are not hand-shaped by the workshop. If your word or name includes one, it won't be reproduced on the piece. Spaces, however, can be added upon request, which allows for example separating two first names or a first name and an initial. We recommend clearly noting your request for a space when ordering, so the workshop can factor it in during hand-shaping. For any questions about how your text will render before finalizing your order, our customer care team is happy to help.

Can I add a symbol alongside the personalized word?

Symbols are possible upon request at Atelier Paulin. If you'd like to pair a symbol with your hand-shaped word or name, let us know directly when ordering or contact our customer care team to check feasibility for this specific design. Each request like this is reviewed individually, since incorporating a symbol depends on the hand-shaping gesture and the visual balance of the piece. Feel free to describe the symbol you have in mind so the workshop can confirm it can be made before your necklace goes into production.

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

14k gold-filled corresponds to 14k gold, while 750/1000 gold corresponds to 18k gold — the difference lies in the pure gold content of the alloy, which is higher for 18k. Since this necklace is offered in 18k yellow gold, it's the 18k version, available in yellow, rose, and white. Gold-filled, on the other hand, only comes in yellow and rose. Also note that "gold-filled" and "14k gold-filled" refer to the same material in our workshop — there's no further distinction between these two terms.

What lettering style is used for the personalized word?

The chosen word or name is hand-shaped in cursive, the only style offered by the workshop. Letters are hand-shaped in lowercase, except for a "J" at the start of a word, which is shaped as a capital. This choice ensures a continuous, fluid line true to the artisan's hand-shaping gesture as they work the precious wire by hand, without rigid, disjointed characters. We don't offer a block-letter or architectural-style variant: cursive remains the Maison's signature across the personalizable collection, when the chosen product allows for it.
