Handcrafted in Paris
No mold, no duplication: at Atelier Paulin, gold wire is handcrafted, 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 handcrafted 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 takes the form of an earring in white 18k gold, its precious wire handcrafted with pliers, with no mold involved, by artisans trained for months before crafting their first piece of jewelry. Its distinctive feature is the lettering: the initial is drawn in lowercase cursive, except for the "J," which stays capitalized, giving it a delicate and personal touch. The white gold chosen for the wire brings a concrete advantage: it does not oxidize, which makes it a material recommended for those who swim often, practice a lot of sport, or have their hands in water throughout the day. Like all of the house's materials, it is hypoallergenic and certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council, ensuring responsible sourcing and consistent quality.
How to Choose Your Original Initial Stud Earring
To put together your Original Initial Stud Earring, start by choosing the letter: one initial per piece, selected at the time of ordering, usually the initial of a name close to your heart; for several names, you'll need several pieces. This stud is available for the left ear or the right ear, to specify according to your needs. The handcrafting takes about thirty minutes; that's also the time it takes for a personalization done on-site, at the Paris atelier founded in 2014. Additional symbols, such as a number, a heart, or an infinity sign, can be added upon request. At €340, this 18k gold piece comes with a ten-year warranty against manufacturing or material defects, the warranty period specific to this solid, hallmarked gold, whose value remains proportional to the quantity of gold it contains.
Who It's For, For What Occasion
This initial piece of jewelry is designed for a woman who likes to wear something personalized, full of meaning. It fits naturally into a list of personalized gifts, especially for a birthday, but also for any occasion where you want to give a handcrafted gift built around a single letter. Each piece comes in a carefully finished box. The gift option at checkout adds a printed card with your message (along with the bag, €2). For those who aren't sure of the recipient's exact size or name, the Atelier Paulin gift card, from €50 to €1,500, lets the person receiving the jewelry make the final choice, material and size included. This style is also available in rose 14k gold-filled, rose 18k gold, yellow 14k gold-filled, 925 sterling silver, and yellow 18k gold; in 14k gold-filled the warranty is 1 year with the shine guaranteed for life, in 18k gold it is 10 years, and in 925 sterling silver it is 1 year.
