Original Initiale Stud Earring - Yellow 14k gold-filled

$101.00

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this stud earring sold individually or as a pair?

It is sold individually. You can choose to wear a single initial on one ear, or order two different letters for an asymmetrical look.

Are all the letters of the alphabet available?

Yes. Each letter is individually handcrafted in the Parisian workshop. Select the desired letter when ordering.

Is 0.8 mm wire suitable for an ear jewel?

Yes. The 0.8mm wire is thin and light, ideal for a lobe piercing. It doesn't pull on the ear and remains comfortable for extended wear.

Is this stud earring a good gift?

Yes. A precious metal initial on the earlobe is a symbolic and timeless gift. Sold individually, it offers the freedom to curate your own personal style. Delivery within 48/72h.

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 yellow 14k gold-filled stud earring be worn on its own, without its match?

Yes. It's designed for asymmetric wear: a single initial at the lobe, chosen freely, with no obligation to form an identical pair. Each letter is sold individually, so you can wear your own initial on one side and, if you prefer, a different letter or a different piece on the other side.

How do the artisans hand-shape the letter on this stud earring?

The initial is hand-shaped from 0.8 mm yellow 14k gold-filled wire, formed with pliers by the artisans at the Paris atelier. The letter is born from the wire itself: it isn't cut into a surface. Once the shape is achieved, the entire piece is work-hardened, which gives it its shape memory. Atelier Paulin has been hand-shaping its jewelry in Paris this way since 2014.

What's the difference between this stud and the same style in 18k gold?

The difference lies in the amount of gold in the wire. 14k gold-filled is a solid layer of gold bonded to a base metal core (brass or bronze), containing 50 to 100 times more gold than traditional gold plating. 18k gold (750/1000), by contrast, is a solid wire made of 75% pure gold, hallmarked and certified. This difference in material is reflected in the price of each version.

Can this stud be personalized with the initials of several names?

Yes. The Initial style can hold one or several letters, each referring to a different name. This lets you, for example, choose one letter for yourself and another for someone close to you, worn on the same stud or split across the two earrings, which are sold separately.

Is this stud earring suited to discreet, everyday wear?

Yes. A single initial at the lobe, in fine 0.8 mm wire, makes for a discreet piece rather than a statement seen from afar: it's worn as a personal detail, not as a piece meant to be noticed. That's the intent behind the Original Initial style, designed to say something without showing much.
