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.
The craftsmanship, in detail
The concierge service, after the workshop
A hand-shaped piece meant to express a bond should last as long as it does. Atelier Paulin's artisans restore it, or remake it as new, in less than a week, in the very workshop where it was born.
Care and RepairCapital Initial Ear Stud: what makes it distinctive
The Capital Initial Ear Stud stands out first through its lettering: an UPPERCASE letter, in the "Capital" style, that renders a name's initial with clarity. Hand-shaped in White 18k gold, it's made from a material that doesn't oxidize — a solid choice for anyone who swims often, exercises frequently, or simply has their hands in water throughout the day. Like all of the Maison's materials, white gold is hypoallergenic. This stud has a discreet 1 cm diameter, for a delicate result at the earlobe. It's priced at $350, and its 18k gold quality carries a ten-year warranty against manufacturing or material defects — a mark of durability and craftsmanship.
How to choose your Capital Initial Ear Stud
Choosing this ear stud starts with choosing an initial — the first letter of a name that matters to you: each piece carries a single letter, selected at checkout, and several names can be expressed through several matching pieces. Symbols remain possible on request, such as a number, a heart, or an infinity sign; for anything else, the locket charms available on the site let you add religious symbols, a heart, a clover, or an initial to any piece of jewelry. The choice can also extend to material: this design is also available in Yellow 18k gold, Rose 18k gold, Yellow 14k gold-filled, Rose 14k gold-filled, or Sterling silver. 18k gold — solid and hallmarked — retains a value proportional to its gold content and carries a ten-year warranty, compared to one year for gold-filled (whose shine is guaranteed for life) and sterling silver.
Who it's for, and for which occasions
This ear stud is designed for a woman who likes to keep an initial close, in memory of a name that matters to her. It's a personalized piece, made to become an equally personal gift — whether given or kept. Presented in a gift box, it lends itself naturally to meaningful occasions, with the option to include a note in the package by simply mentioning it in the order comments. For those unsure of the recipient's size or exact name, the Atelier Paulin gift card, from $50 to $1,500, lets the final choice rest with the person who will receive this initial piece.
