Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Nonza Chain Bracelet with fauve sapphire unique compared to other personalized bracelets?

The Nonza Chain Bracelet features hand-selected fauve sapphires in beautiful autumn hues, each stone carefully chosen in our Paris atelier. Unlike mass-produced jewelry, Atelier Paulin specializes in hand-shaping precious wire into personalized 3D jewelry - we never use engraving but instead craft each piece by shaping gold or silver wire into your chosen words or initials for a truly dimensional effect.

What is the crafting time for this fauve sapphire bracelet ?

This fauve sapphire bracelet is crafted within 1 to 3 business days in our Parisian atelier, as it is set on a 14k yellow gold filled base. Worldwide DHL Express delivery then takes an additional 48 to 72 hours, with all customs duties included (DDP).

Is this sapphire bracelet a good gift for special occasions?

This fauve sapphire bracelet makes an exceptional gift for Mother's Day, Christmas, birthdays, or Valentine's Day. The warm autumn tones of the sapphires create a meaningful piece perfect for mothers, daughters, or anyone who appreciates handcrafted Parisian jewelry.

How long does it take to make this personalized bracelet and what are the shipping options?

Manufacturing time depends on the material: sterling silver and 14k gold-filled versions take 1 to 3 business days, while 18k gold requires 2 to 5 business days. After production in our Paris atelier, we offer DHL Express shipping with 48-72 hour worldwide delivery and DDP (duties included) so there are no hidden fees or customs charges.

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.

What is the warranty on this bracelet?

This bracelet, like all of the Maison's jewelry, comes with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty covers manufacturing defects. Atelier Paulin hand-shapes each piece in its Paris atelier, with close attention paid to the strength of the precious wire, notably through laser micro-welding at tension points and work-hardening applied to the entire piece after shaping. For any questions about how this warranty applies, or a specific concern about your jewelry, the atelier's customer service team is available to guide you.

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

Manufacturing time depends on the material chosen: 1 to 3 business days for sterling silver and 14k gold-filled, and 2 to 5 business days for 18k gold. This is the time spent in the atelier hand-shaping the piece, not including shipping to you. Once your bracelet is hand-shaped, home delivery then takes an additional 2 to 5 days, shipping included. If you're in Paris, you have two options: come personalize your jewelry directly at the atelier in about thirty minutes, or have it delivered by courier the same day.

How long will it take to receive my bracelet at home?

Once hand-shaped at the atelier, your bracelet is delivered to your home within 2 to 5 days, shipping included. This delivery window is in addition to the manufacturing time specific to the chosen material. If you live in Paris, you can also opt for same-day courier delivery, or come directly to the atelier to have your jewelry personalized in about thirty minutes. Atelier Paulin, established in Paris since 2014, takes great care to ensure that every step, from hand-shaping to hand-off, meets the same standard of artisanal craftsmanship.

What packaging does the bracelet come in?

Your bracelet is presented in a jewelry box, designed to accompany the piece from the moment it arrives and to protect it afterward. This is the standard presentation for every piece of jewelry hand-shaped by the Maison, whether it's a gift or a piece you're treating yourself to. The box keeps the jewelry safe when you're not wearing it, helping preserve its shine over time, alongside the simple care routine specific to each material.

Can I exchange or get a refund for this bracelet?

This depends on the nature of your order. A non-personalized piece of jewelry can be refunded or exchanged. However, a piece hand-shaped to order, with a word or initial chosen by the customer, cannot be exchanged or refunded, since it is made specifically for you. We invite you to check the exact nature of your order before checkout. For any questions about your particular situation, Atelier Paulin's customer service team is available to guide you.

What materials is this bracelet available in?

Atelier Paulin hand-shapes its jewelry in three materials: sterling silver 925, 14k gold-filled (585/1000), and 18k gold (750/1000). 14k gold-filled comes in two tones, yellow and rose, while 18k gold is available in yellow, rose, and white. Manufacturing time varies slightly by material: 1 to 3 business days for sterling silver and 14k gold-filled, 2 to 5 business days for 18k gold. Please check the product page to see exactly which materials are offered for this bracelet.

How do I care for a sterling silver 925 bracelet?

Sterling silver 925 is a living metal: contact with air, moisture, or certain chemicals can cause a thin layer of tarnish to form over time. This is a natural, reversible phenomenon that never affects the quality of the piece. Simple cleaning with warm soapy water, followed by drying with a soft cloth, is enough to restore its shine. Unlike 14k gold-filled, we recommend removing a sterling silver 925 piece before swimming, showering, or exercising, to best preserve its shine over time.

Can you wear a 14k gold-filled bracelet in the shower or pool?

Yes, that's one of the advantages of 14k gold-filled (585/1000): it's water-resistant. Shower, pool, and beach are all fine for this material, unlike traditional gold-plated jewelry. No special care is required — an occasional wipe with a soft cloth is enough to preserve its shine, which is guaranteed for life on this specific material. The only recommended precaution concerns intense physical activity or repeated handling, which should be avoided while wearing the piece, to preserve the delicate shape of hand-shaped wire jewelry.

What exactly is 14k gold-filled (585/1000)?

14k gold-filled (585/1000), also known as Gold Filled 14k under the legal English-language jewelry term, is a solid layer of 585/1000 gold bonded under heat and pressure to a brass or bronze base. It contains 50 to 100 times more gold than traditional gold plating, giving it the same properties as solid 585-thousandths gold wire: long-lasting shine, water resistance, and a lifespan of several decades. This material comes in two tones, yellow and rose, hand-shaped in the Maison's Paris atelier.

What's the difference between 18k gold and 14k gold-filled?

750/1000 gold, known as 18k gold, is solid gold wire made of 75% pure gold, sometimes called traditional French gold. Every piece hand-shaped in this material is hallmarked, certified, and made by one of the Maison's jewelry artisans. 14k gold-filled (585/1000), on the other hand, is a solid layer of gold bonded to a metal base, containing significantly less pure gold but offering the same everyday resistance and shine. 18k gold is available in yellow, rose, and white, while gold-filled is limited to yellow and rose.

Is sterling silver 925 suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Sterling silver 925 is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver, with a minimum fineness of 925 thousandths, known to be hypoallergenic and antibacterial. It's a material particularly well suited to sensitive skin, in addition to its bright, luminous white color that highlights the hand-shaped wire. Like any living metal, it may develop a slight, natural, and reversible tarnish over time, which is easily cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, without affecting its hypoallergenic qualities.

How is the precious wire of this bracelet hand-shaped?

At Atelier Paulin, every piece of jewelry is born from a single, continuous strand of precious metal wire, hand-shaped by one of the Maison's jewelry artisans. The wire is shaped with pliers, then cold work-hardened across the entire piece once shaping is complete, giving it shape memory and resilience over time. At tension points, laser micro-welding reinforces the structure. This is the technique, rooted in the Paris atelier's craftsmanship since 2014, that gives the jewelry its shape and character, without ever cutting into the metal.

What is work-hardening and why does it matter?

Work-hardening is a cold-metal technique applied to the entire piece once the wire has been hand-shaped. This step gives the jewelry its shape memory and resilience: the metal becomes more resistant to everyday deformation while staying lightweight. This process is never applied letter by letter, but rather to the whole piece, once shaping is complete. It's one of the technical steps that sets apart the artisanal work of precious wire, practiced at Atelier Paulin's Paris atelier since 2014.

What is laser micro-welding used for on this bracelet?

Laser micro-welding is a reinforcement technique applied at the tension points of the hand-shaped wire. It strengthens the structure of the jewelry at strategic spots, without altering the fineness of the precious wire or its design. This step is combined with work-hardening, applied to the entire piece after shaping, to give the bracelet its long-term resilience. Together, these two techniques allow hand-shaped jewelry to keep its shape and strength through everyday wear, without the metal ever being cut into.

Where and since when has Atelier Paulin been hand-shaping its jewelry?

Atelier Paulin has been hand-shaping its jewelry in Paris since 2014. It's in this Paris atelier that every piece, including this bracelet, takes shape from a single, continuous strand of precious metal wire, hand-shaped by one of the Maison's jewelry artisans. This Paris location also allows a special option for local customers: coming in to have their jewelry personalized on site in about thirty minutes, or having it delivered by courier the same day — two services unique to the boutique.

Can I pick up my bracelet directly at the atelier?

If you live in Paris, two options are available. You can come to the atelier to have your jewelry personalized on site in about thirty minutes, or choose same-day courier delivery. Both of these services are exclusive to Atelier Paulin's Paris boutique and are not available for orders shipped outside Paris. This direct connection with the atelier lets you see firsthand the artisanal craftsmanship behind hand-shaping precious wire, a skill the Maison has practiced since 2014.

What material is the cord made of, if this bracelet has one?

When a piece of the Maison's jewelry includes a cord, it's made of a high-quality synthetic fiber that's water- and time-resistant. This material is designed for everyday wear without any special care requirements. Please check the product page to see whether this particular bracelet includes a cord or is made entirely of precious metal — sterling silver 925, 14k gold-filled, or 18k gold — as each option has its own care and water-resistance characteristics.

Is the jewelry safe to wear in water every day?

This depends entirely on the material chosen. 14k gold-filled is water-resistant: shower, pool, and beach are all fine without special precautions, with the only recommendation being to remove it during intense physical activity. 18k gold also requires no special care — cleaning with warm water and mild soap is enough. Sterling silver 925, on the other hand, is more sensitive: we recommend removing it before swimming, showering, or exercising, to limit the natural tarnish typical of this living metal. Check your bracelet's material to adjust your everyday habits accordingly.

Can I have this bracelet personalized directly at the atelier in Paris?

In Paris, the Maison offers two ways to receive a personalized piece of jewelry: come have it hand-shaped on site in about thirty minutes, or have it delivered by courier the same day. This is a service few ateliers offer, rooted in the craft of hand-shaping precious wire since 2014. To find out if this particular bracelet is available for personalization and on-site shaping, please check the personalization option directly on its product page, or reach out to customer service if you have any doubts before your visit.
