High jewelry

Created around the stone.

Each commission begins with a selected diamond and is designed for one wearer.

One of one

The centre stone gives the jewel its shape.

Distinctive proportions, historic cuts and uncommon colour guide every line. Our completed private commissions have ranged from 2 to 30 carat centre stones, with the design and technical complexity determined by the individual jewel.

Past commissions

A stone can begin many stories.

These past commissions are starting points for private discussion. Every jewel is developed around the selected diamond and its individual specifications.

A singular setting

A setting shaped around the stone.

From first proportion to final polish, the setting is refined around the stone: its outline, light and natural presence.

The making process

From the stone to the final setting.

Across private commissions, these workshop process studies follow six essential decisions, from measuring and drawing to metalwork, setting and final inspection. Each stage is coordinated with specialist partner ateliers around the selected diamond.
