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 RepairNecklace with Initial Pendant: What Sets It Apart
The Necklace with Initial Pendant stands out first for its yellow 18k gold wire, hand-shaped by hand with pliers, never cast or molded, by artisans trained for months before shaping their first piece in the Parisian workshop, open since 2014. Its lettering follows one precise gesture: the initial is hand-shaped in lowercase cursive, except for the letter J, which is shaped as a capital. This 2 cm charm attaches to an adjustable chain, thanks to adjustment rings, at 42 cm and 45 cm. As an 18k gold piece, it carries a 10-year guarantee from the date of purchase against manufacturing or material defects — a guarantee specific to this hallmarked metal, which holds a value proportional to the gold it contains.
How to Choose Your Necklace with Initial Pendant
Choosing this necklace starts with choosing a letter: the initial is selected to match a cherished first name, with one letter per piece (for several first names, several pieces are needed). Hand-shaping this personalization takes about 30 minutes — a window of time that even allows it to be done in front of the customer, on site at the workshop. On request, other symbols remain possible — a number, a heart, an infinity sign — and a wide selection of locket charms, available on the site, lets you add to any piece of jewelry. This design also comes in rose 18k gold and white 18k gold: each of these versions is a solid 18k gold wire, hallmarked, holding a value proportional to the gold it contains. White gold, which does not oxidize, is particularly well suited for those who often have their hands in water.
Who It's For, For Which Occasion
This necklace is designed for a woman, but is also very much at home on a man: it suits either, without distinction. It's a personalized initial necklace, making a personalized gift for many occasions — Mother's Day, a christening, or a birth, to celebrate the new bond with a mother. Presented in a jewelry box, it can be accompanied by a note slipped into the package, simply noted as a comment when ordering. To give a gift without knowing the recipient's size or first name, the Atelier Paulin gift card, from €50 to €1,500, lets the recipient choose their own piece, material, and size.
