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 sets it apart
The Original Initial Stud Earring stands out first for its lettering: the initial is hand-shaped in lowercase cursive, except for the letter J, which is shaped as a capital, giving this small piece a delicate, personal look. Made in sterling silver, this earring is available for the left ear or the right ear, so you can build your pair as you like or pair it with another stud. The style belongs to a wider family of initial jewelry, also available in rose or yellow 14k gold-filled and in rose, yellow, or white 18k gold, each material offering its own warranty coverage and composition. This range of materials makes the style easy to adapt to budget and personal taste.
How to choose your Original Initial Stud Earring
Choosing your Original Initial Stud Earring starts with choosing the letter: one initial per piece, referring to a first name, selected at checkout to represent that specific name. To spell out more than one name, simply order several studs, each personalized in turn. Symbols remain possible on request — an option to discuss directly with the atelier. On the material side, sterling silver offers a bright, accessible look at $80, while white 18k gold is a good fit for those who swim often or spend a lot of time with their hands in water, since it does not oxidize. The price difference between materials comes down to gold content: gold-filled wire is a solid layer of 14k gold bonded to a base metal, while 18k gold is a solid wire, hallmarked and certified. This piece in sterling silver carries a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase; in rose or yellow 14k gold-filled, the warranty is also 1 year, with the shine of the gold guaranteed for life, while in 18k gold, the warranty extends to 10 years.
Who it's for, and for which occasion
This piece is designed for a woman, as a personalized gift with meaning: an initial piece that calls to mind a name close to her heart — a child's, a partner's, or her own. A note can be added inside the package simply by mentioning it in the order comments. For anyone still unsure of the exact size or name to have hand-shaped, the Atelier Paulin gift card, from $50 to $1,500, lets the recipient choose their own piece, material, and size.
