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 Ear Stud: What Sets It Apart
This single stud earring stands out for its initial, handcrafted in lowercase cursive, with the letter "J" set apart in uppercase. One letter is enough to spell out a first name; to wear several, you combine multiple studs. The solid 18k yellow gold wire is hallmarked and certified, and holds a value proportional to the gold it contains. This gold content is why it carries a ten-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering any manufacturing or material defect. The same design also comes in Rose 14k gold-filled, 18k Rose Gold, Yellow 14k gold-filled, 925 sterling silver, or 18k White Gold: 14k gold-filled, a 585 gold envelope over a metal base, carries a one-year warranty with a lifetime shine guarantee, while 18k gold and its solid wire remain covered for ten years.
How to Choose Your Original Initial Ear Stud
The choice starts with the initial, selected from the letters of the alphabet, as the first letter of a first name. The earring can also be ordered for the left ear or the right ear. Other symbols — a number, a heart, an infinity sign — can be handcrafted on request. For anyone whose hands are often in water, who swims often, or who plays sports regularly, 18k white gold does not tarnish and is recommended for that reason, knowing that all of the House's materials are hypoallergenic. Each stud is handcrafted with pliers, with no mold or casting, a gesture our artisans train for months to master before crafting their first piece, at the Paris workshop open since 2014. Crafting takes about thirty minutes, the same time it takes to personalize a piece on-site, in front of the customer.
Who It's For, and For What Occasion
This stud earring, designed for a woman, is worn as a personalized piece of jewelry, bearing the initial of a name she loves. It makes a personalized gift, especially for a birthday. Each piece comes in its own individual box, and the Atelier Paulin gift bag, along with a printed card bearing the customer's message, is available for €2 at checkout. If you're unsure about the recipient's size or name, the Atelier Paulin gift card, from €50 to €1,500, lets them choose their own piece, material, and size. The raw materials used are recycled and recyclable. See also our personalized jewelry and our earrings.
