Ten Weeks From Sketch to Case
The Atelier Diary
~ what becomes of a sketch ~
Week 0
The Sketch
We begin with watercolor on parchment. A hand-drawn maquette of the piece, signed by the designer, filed in the atelier archive.
Week 2
The Wax Model
A full-scale model is carved in jewellers' wax — the first time you'll be able to hold the shape in your hand.
Week 4
The Casting
Lost-wax casting in 18k gold or platinum. The wax is sacrificed; the metal takes its place in a single pour.
Week 6
The Setting
Each stone is set by hand under a microscope. Pavé, prong or bezel — the gallery is sculpted around the stone, not the other way round.
Week 8
The Polish
Three rounds of polishing with progressively finer rouge. The metal lifts to a mirror finish; the stone is rinsed and inspected.
Week 10
The Velvet Case
Boxed in a velvet-lined case bearing your initials, with a letter from the master setter and the original sketch from week zero.
~ and then it's yours ~

Editorial
Painted in light,
set in gold.
Each piece begins with a brushstroke — a sketch from our atelier, translated through ten weeks of stone setting, polishing, and final hand finish. The salon is where the painting becomes the object, and the object becomes an heirloom.
~ from the atelier ~
Behind the Curtain
Every commissioned piece moves through nine exacting stages across ten weeks. This is what happens between your first sketch and your door.
01
Week 0
The Consultation
A private 60-minute meeting — in our salon or by video. You share inspirations, occasions, proportions. We listen before we draw a single line.
02
Week 1–2
Watercolour Sketches
Three hand-painted concepts arrive in your inbox. You choose, blend, or redirect — until the vision on paper is unmistakably yours.
03
Week 2–3
CAD & 3D Render
A master CAD technician builds every millimetre in software. You approve a photorealistic render before a single gram of metal is touched.
04
Week 3–4
The Wax
A physical wax model is printed and posted to you. Hold it, wear it, feel its weight and scale. Sign-off only when it is exactly right.
05
Week 4–5
Stone Selection
Our gemologist handpicks stones from certified lab-grown lots — matched for cut, colour, and clarity. Every diamond arrives with a grading report.
06
Week 5–6
Lost-Wax Casting
The wax is invested in plaster and incinerated. Molten 18k gold or platinum is poured at over 1 000 °C, filling every detail the wax held.
07
Week 6–7
Stone Setting
A master setter works under 10× magnification, placing each stone by hand. Prongs are pressed, bezels formed, tension checked — zero tolerance for movement.
08
Week 7–8
Polish & Finish
Four stages of hand-polishing — from rough wheel to rouge cloth — until every surface mirrors the light exactly as designed.
09
Week 9–10
The Case
Your piece arrives in a velvet case bearing your initials, alongside a stone certificate, a lifetime guarantee card, and full insurance documentation.

A private consultation takes sixty minutes and commits you to nothing. Tell us what you have in mind and we will tell you what is possible.

A Letter from the Atelier
To the Wearer,
A tiara is the one piece of jewellery that has never been useful. It does not tell time. It does not unlock a door. It crowns a moment — and afterwards, it crowns the memory of that moment.
Every piece you see here begins as a sketch on this same parchment. Ten weeks later, after the casting and the setting and the final hand-finish, it arrives in a velvet case bearing our wordmark and, with it, your initials.
We are not for everyone. We are for those who already know which moment they are dressing for.
