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 RepairOriginal Initial Stud Earring: what makes it different
The Original Initial Stud Earring is a white 18k gold earring, its precious wire hand-shaped with pliers, with no mold, by artisans trained for months before shaping their first piece of jewelry. Its distinctive feature is the lettering: the initial is drawn in lowercase cursive, except for the letter "J," which stays capitalized, giving it a delicate, personal touch. The white gold chosen for the wire offers a concrete advantage: it does not oxidize, which makes it a fitting choice for anyone who swims often, plays a lot of sport, or spends a lot of time with their hands in water. Like all of the Maison's materials, it is hypoallergenic and Responsible Jewellery Council certified, guaranteeing responsible sourcing and consistent quality.
How to choose your Original Initial Stud Earring
To design your Original Initial Stud Earring, start by choosing the letter: one initial per piece, selected at checkout, generally standing in for a name close to your heart — for several names, you will need several pieces. This stud is available for the left ear or the right ear, to specify according to your needs. Hand-shaping takes about thirty minutes; that is also how long an in-person personalization takes, at the Parisian workshop founded in 2014. Additional symbols, such as a number, a heart, or an infinity sign, can be added upon request. Priced at 340 €, this 18k gold piece comes with a ten-year warranty against manufacturing or material defects — the warranty length specific to this solid, hallmarked gold, whose value stays proportional to the amount of gold it contains.
Who it's for, for which occasion
This initial piece is designed for a woman who likes to wear something personalized, carrying meaning. It fits naturally among personalized gifts, notably for a birthday, but also for any occasion calling for a hand-shaped gift built around a single letter. Each piece comes presented in a jewelry box, and a note can be added to the package with a simple comment at checkout. For anyone unsure of the recipient's ring size or exact name, the Atelier Paulin gift card, from 50 € to 1,500 €, leaves the final choice — material and size included — to the person receiving the gift. This piece is also available in rose 14k gold-filled, rose 18k gold, yellow 14k gold-filled, sterling silver, and yellow 18k gold; in 14k gold-filled the warranty is one year with a lifetime shine guarantee, in 18k gold it is ten years, and in sterling silver it is one year.
