Under the loupe

Ten times closer, still flawless.

Move across each plate to look through a jeweller's 10× loupe — the same magnification our gemmologists use to grade every stone before it is set.

I.

The pear, 58 facets

Cut over nine weeks from a 41-carat rough to keep a perfectly symmetrical bow-tie-free face.

Macro of platinum claws holding marquise diamonds
II.

Invisible claws

Each claw is filed to 0.4 mm and polished by hand so the metal disappears and only light remains.

The Atelier, Place Vendôme

From gouache to brilliance.

  1. Gouache design drawing of the necklace on black paper
    01 — Design

    Painted in gouache

    Every piece begins life as a white gouache drawing on black card, rendered at true scale.

  2. Jeweller's hands setting a diamond with tweezers
    02 — Setting

    Set by a single hand

    One master setter, 1,400 hours, 752 claws raised and closed under the microscope.

  3. Light refracting from a diamond into caustic patterns
    03 — Light

    Tuned to the light

    The finished rivière is tested under candle, daylight and spotlight before it leaves the house.
