MATERIAL - Gold

The emerald is a precious gemstone belonging to the beryl family, renowned for its deep, intense green color. Its natural hue, created by the presence of chromium and sometimes vanadium, gives it a vibrant, nuanced brilliance.
Each emerald is unique: its internal inclusions, known as “gardens,” are a natural signature of authenticity and origin.
A noble and rare gemstone, the emerald symbolizes wisdom, hope, and renewal.

CARE

The emerald is a delicate natural gemstone. Avoid impacts, temperature changes, and contact with chemicals. Clean it gently with a slightly damp soft cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this emerald rivière choker necklace special and how is it made?

This emerald rivière choker features a unique gradient of precious emeralds totaling over 30 carats, each stone hand-selected and assembled by our Parisian artisans. The emeralds are mounted on resistant gold wire using Atelier Paulin's signature hand-shaping technique with work-hardening for lifelong durability. Each piece is hallmarked and certified, representing authentic French craftsmanship from our Paris workshop.

Can this emerald choker necklace be personalized with names or initials?

This emerald rivière choker is not personalizable as it's a precious gemstone jewelry piece featuring emeralds assembled in a unique gradient design. However, Atelier Paulin specializes in personalized wire jewelry and offers many customizable necklaces where we hand-shape names, initials, or messages directly into 14k gold-filled or 18k gold wire. Our artisans can create bespoke pieces tailored to your specific requirements.

How long does it take to make and ship this emerald necklace?

This emerald rivière choker in 14k gold-filled is handcrafted in our Paris atelier within 1 to 3 business days. After our quality control, we ship worldwide via DHL Express with 48/72h delivery and full insurance. International orders include DDP (duties paid) - no hidden fees or customs charges. You'll receive tracking information and signature confirmation upon delivery.

Is this emerald choker a good gift for special occasions?

This emerald rivière choker makes an exceptional anniversary gift, particularly for a man who appreciates refined and elegant jewelry. The precious emeralds symbolize wisdom and renewal, making it perfect for milestone celebrations. As authentic Parisian craftsmanship with certified gemstones, it's an heirloom-quality piece that represents sophistication and timeless style, ideal for someone who values artisan jewelry and unique design.

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.

Is the Emerald Rivière Choker Necklace hand-shaped?

Yes. Since 2014, Atelier Paulin has hand-shaped its creations in Paris from a single continuous piece of precious wire. The piece is shaped with pliers, then work-hardened across the whole form once the shaping is complete, which gives it its shape memory and resilience. This artisan gesture is nothing like a pattern carved into a flat surface — here, the form comes directly from the wire itself, worked by the artisan. Each piece also goes through laser micro-welding at tension points, reinforcing the hand-shaped wire without ever altering its design. It's this wire expertise, unique to the Maison, that sets it apart from mass-produced jewelry.

What materials are available for this necklace?

Atelier Paulin works with three materials: sterling silver (925), 14k gold-filled wire (also called 585/1000 gold-filled), and 18k solid gold (750/1000). Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver, hypoallergenic and antibacterial, ideal for sensitive skin. Gold-filled is a solid layer of 585/1000 gold bonded to a base metal, containing 50 to 100 times more gold than traditional gold plating; it's available in yellow and rose only. 18k gold is a solid gold wire made of 75% pure gold, hallmarked and certified, available in yellow, rose, and white. To confirm the exact material available on this specific style, please check the product page or reach out to our customer care team.

Are gold-filled and 585/1000 gold two different materials?

No, they're exactly the same material. "Gold-filled" and "585/1000 gold-filled" refer to the same thing at Atelier Paulin: a solid layer of 585-thousandths gold bonded through heat or pressure to a brass or bronze base. This is the technical definition of 14k gold-filled, the recognized industry term. It contains 50 to 100 times more gold than traditional gold plating, giving it the same properties as solid 585-gold wire: lasting shine, durability, and long-term wear. This material comes in yellow and rose tones.

Is gold-filled jewelry safe for showering, swimming, or everyday water exposure?

Yes, gold-filled jewelry holds up well to water. Showering, swimming, and beach days are all fine, unlike traditional gold plating, which wears down faster with water exposure. No special care is needed — a soft cloth every now and then is enough to keep its shine, which is guaranteed for life on this material. The only precaution concerns intense physical activity or repeated handling, which should be avoided to preserve the delicate shape of our hand-shaped wire creations. Well cared for, a gold-filled piece can last for decades without losing its character.

How do you care for a sterling silver necklace?

Sterling silver is a living metal: exposure to air, moisture, or chemicals can cause a light layer of tarnish to form over time. This is a natural, reversible process that never affects the quality of the piece. To care for it, simply clean with warm soapy water and dry with a soft cloth to restore its bright white shine. Unlike gold-filled pieces, we recommend avoiding the pool, shower, and sports while wearing this piece, to limit tarnishing and preserve the fine detail of the hand-shaped wire.

What's the difference between gold-filled and 18k gold?

585/1000 gold-filled, or 14k gold-filled, is a solid layer of gold bonded to a brass or bronze base; it's available in yellow and rose. 750/1000 gold, known as 18k gold, is a solid gold wire made of 75% pure gold, often referred to as "traditional French gold"; it comes in yellow, rose, and white — the only material offered in white at Atelier Paulin. Every 18k gold piece is hallmarked, certified, and hand-shaped by one of the Maison's jewelry artisans. The choice between the two comes down to budget and desired tone, with 18k gold being the closest option to traditional fine jewelry craftsmanship.

What packaging does the necklace come in?

Every piece hand-shaped by Atelier Paulin arrives in a jewelry box, designed to accompany the piece from the moment it's received and to protect it afterward. This box is part of the Maison experience, whether the piece is a gift or a treat for yourself. It also serves as a safe place to store the necklace between wears, especially during activities where it's recommended to take it off.

How long does it take to hand-shape this necklace?

Manufacturing time depends on the material chosen. For sterling silver and gold-filled, allow 1 to 3 business days at the atelier. For 750/1000 gold, or 18k gold, shaping takes 2 to 5 business days. This timeframe covers only the artisan's work at the Paris atelier, from shaping the wire to the final work-hardening step — it does not include shipping to your home, which comes after. To confirm the exact material available on this specific style, please check the product page.

How long does delivery take once the necklace is ready?

Once hand-shaped at the atelier, the necklace is delivered to your home within 2 to 5 days, shipping included. This delivery window comes in addition to the manufacturing time, which depends on the material: 1 to 3 business days for sterling silver and gold-filled, 2 to 5 business days for 18k gold. These are two separate, complementary steps — from working the precious wire in Paris to arriving at your door.

Can I pick up or personalize my necklace directly at the Paris atelier?

Yes — if you're visiting Paris, two options are available exclusively at the atelier's boutique. You can have your piece personalized on-site in about thirty minutes, with the artisan hand-shaping it right in front of you. You can also opt for same-day courier delivery. This is a true differentiator of the Maison, founded in Paris in 2014, that no mass-market personalization service typically offers.

Is the wire welded or fragile?

The precious wire hand-shaped by Atelier Paulin is reinforced with laser micro-welding at tension points, a technique that strengthens the piece without altering its design. The wire is never left unreinforced. After shaping, the entire piece is also work-hardened, which gives the metal its shape memory and long-term resilience. These two steps, carried out at the Paris atelier, ensure the piece holds up to everyday wear while keeping the fine detail unique to working a single continuous wire.

What warranty comes with this necklace?

This necklace comes with the Atelier Paulin warranty, valid for 1 year from the purchase date, like all Maison pieces. The one exception: if the necklace is hand-shaped in gold-filled, the shine of this material is guaranteed for life, a specificity of 14k gold-filled that doesn't tarnish like traditional gold plating. For other materials — sterling silver or 18k gold — the standard one-year warranty applies. For any questions about how this warranty works, our customer care team is happy to help.

Can I exchange or get a refund for this necklace?

This depends on the nature of the piece. A non-personalized piece can be refunded or exchanged. A piece hand-shaped to order, featuring a word or personalization chosen by the customer, cannot be exchanged or refunded, since it's made specifically for her. To find out exactly which category this necklace falls under, please reach out to our customer care team or check the terms listed on the product page.

Can this necklace be personalized with a name or an initial?

Not all Maison pieces can be personalized — it depends on the style. We don't have confirmed information indicating that this specific necklace offers a personalization option. We invite you to check the product page, which specifies whether a "hand-shaped word" or "initial" option is available for this style, or to contact our customer care team for confirmation before purchasing.

Where does Atelier Paulin's expertise come from?

Atelier Paulin has been hand-shaping jewelry in Paris since 2014. The Maison was built around one precise gesture: working a single continuous piece of precious wire, shaped with pliers and then work-hardened, rather than attaching a pattern to a flat surface. Every 18k gold piece is hallmarked and certified, hand-shaped by one of the Maison's jewelry artisans. This wire expertise, combined with laser micro-welding at tension points, has defined Atelier Paulin's identity since the beginning, well before personalization became its best-known signature.

Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. The sterling silver used by Atelier Paulin is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver, hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it a suitable material for sensitive skin. Its bright, luminous white color makes it a popular everyday choice. Like any living metal, it can develop a light natural tarnish from exposure to air or moisture — a reversible process that fades with simple care using warm soapy water and a soft cloth.

Should I take off the necklace to sleep or work out?

It depends on the material. For sterling silver, we recommend avoiding the pool, shower, and sports, to limit the natural tarnishing that comes with this living metal. For gold-filled, no such precaution is needed around water — showering, swimming, and beach days are all fine. The only consideration with this material is intense physical activity or repeated handling, which should be avoided to preserve the delicate shape of the hand-shaped wire. For 18k gold, no special care is needed either.

Is the necklace made in France?

Yes, Atelier Paulin hand-shapes all of its creations in its Paris atelier, and has since 2014. Every 18k gold piece, in particular, is hallmarked and certified on-site, hand-shaped by one of the Maison's jewelry artisans. This artisanal wirework, from shaping to final work-hardening, takes place entirely at the Paris atelier, which is also what allows the Maison to offer the in-boutique personalization available at its Paris location.

How long does a gold-filled piece last?

A gold-filled piece from Atelier Paulin can last for decades without losing its shine, provided one precaution is observed: taking it off during intense physical activity or repeated handling, to preserve the delicate shape of our hand-shaped wire creations. No special daily care is needed — a soft cloth is enough, and water won't damage it. It's also the only material at the Maison whose shine is guaranteed for life, unlike the one-year warranty applied to other materials.

What sets hand-shaping apart from an industrial process?

At Atelier Paulin, every piece starts from a single length of precious metal wire, hand-shaped at the Paris atelier: formed with pliers, then work-hardened across the entire piece, giving it its shape memory and resilience. The letter or pattern comes directly from the wire itself — it's never added on or carved into a flat surface. This gesture, combined with laser micro-welding at tension points, sets the Maison's work apart from mass production and explains the fine detail found in every piece hand-shaped since 2014.
