Appointment: pencil ring studies, blue sapphires presented on a tray
The maison

A maison that begins with the stone.

I buy the stones on site, one by one. The ring is then drawn by appointment, in front of you.

Who I am

…and yours.

Its place, first.We measure the stone.Fourteen diamonds, two by two.A claw between each.Then the band, pavé-set.

Padparadscha, cushion01 / 10

Double prongs, platinum head: four positions, eight points of contact. The maison's own four-prong.

Ruby, cushion02 / 10

The stone sits flush in solid gold, sheltered from everything. Long a men's ring. Not anymore.

Teal sapphire, oval03 / 10

An oval laid on its side, flush-set, worn close to the finger. The quietest of them all. And the most modern.

Pink sapphire & diamonds04 / 10

Three stones on a bare band: yesterday, today, tomorrow. The diamonds are chosen after the center stone, never before.

Yellow sapphire, emerald cut05 / 10

Two tapered baguettes, a milgrain line running the whole band. The geometry of the twenties, drawn for a step-cut stone.

Padparadscha, oval06 / 10

Gold petals hold the stone high. Beneath them, a pavé bridge only the wearer knows. A ring made to be seen in profile.

Pear sapphire & diamond07 / 10

Two stones that do not match. This ring only exists if you have two unmatched stones. That is the case here.

Teal sapphire, white gold08 / 10

One row of diamonds around the stone, a second along the band. The white gold steps back. It is only there for the light.

Blue sapphire, oval09 / 10

A surround that sends the light turning around the color. The most requested. Also the one that asks for the most care.

Multicolored sapphires, round cut10 / 10

A full turn of sapphires, no color repeated. The band for those who will not choose.

Nothing is made before it is chosen.

I want to know who I'm buying it from.

Before reaching your hand, your stone passed through theirs.

01 · Ratnapura

The pit

A ladder, a winch, a bucket. Not one machine.

02 · At the mine

The washing

One basket can give everything. Or nothing.

03 · Beruwala

The market

You look, you hand it back. Sometimes you leave with nothing.

04 · Sri Lanka

The heating

No one shows the furnaces. If a stone went through them, it is written.

05 · At the workshop

The cutting

The wheel is still turned by hand. Weight is billed, light is not.

06 · The check

The report

It leaves for an independent laboratory. What it is, and what was done to it, is written down.

07 · Paris

The setting

The gold grows around it.

08 · Your home

The last pair of hands is yours.
