Process

Every commission starts with a conversation. You tell me the idea, the stone you already have, the context — a gift, an interior to furnish, a handle for a yacht, a ring built around a family stone. I draw the piece by hand, then model it in 3D when the shape requires it. In the workshop I work the metal: micro-torch, setting, finishing. Burin engraving — on jewellery or on watch cases — I do in-house, with the GraverMax. Before delivery, I check stones and setting in the gemmological lab. It is not a counter appraisal: it is control of the piece I am about to hand you.
