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 Stud Earring for Men: what sets it apart
The Capital Initial Stud Earring for Men is crafted in yellow 18k gold, a solid gold wire, hallmarked, that holds a value proportional to the amount of gold it contains. It is personalized with a single initial per piece, standing for one first name, shaped in UPPERCASE letters following the "Capital" lettering style specific to this design. Its diameter is 1 cm, a discreet yet assertive size. This 18k gold piece carries a 10-year warranty from the date of purchase against manufacturing or material defects, the warranty that applies to 18k gold. Priced at €265, it belongs to a family of designs where each material carries its own warranty and value level.
How to choose your Capital Initial Stud Earring for Men
The choice starts with the initial: one letter per piece, standing for one first name, ordered separately for each piece; to spell out several first names, several pieces are needed. Next comes the choice of material: this design is also available in sterling silver, yellow 14k gold-filled, and white 18k gold. Yellow 14k gold-filled carries a one-year warranty, with a lifetime guarantee on its shine; sterling silver carries a one-year warranty; white 18k gold, like yellow 18k gold, carries a ten-year warranty, and does not tarnish, which makes it the material to recommend to anyone who swims often, plays sports, or has their hands in water regularly. The price difference between these materials comes down to the actual amount of gold present: gold-filled is a solid layer of 14k gold bonded to a base metal, while 18k gold is a solid wire made of 75% pure gold, hallmarked and certified, whose value carries over time. All of these materials are hypoallergenic and Responsible Jewellery Council certified.
Who it's for, for which occasion
This personalized piece is also worn by men, and makes a personalized gift particularly well suited to a birthday: an initial piece that carries the mark of a cherished first name. It's a simple, direct way to give something personal, without needing to know the recipient's taste beyond their first name. Each piece is hand-shaped with pliers, no molds, by artisans trained for months before shaping their first piece, in the Parisian atelier founded in 2014; personalizing it takes about 30 minutes, a moment that can also be experienced in person, at the atelier, in front of the customer. It is then presented in a jewelry box. To give a gift without knowing the size or the first name, the Atelier Paulin gift card, from €50 to €1,500, lets the recipient choose their own piece; and since the price never appears in the package, the surprise stays intact.
