How do you create the Jewels?
The jeweler’s challenges
The jeweler creates a jewel from a sketch, a stone or an idea of the client. Together they determine the style, shape, components, and budget required to manufacture the jewel.
His work begins by putting the design of the dreamed jewel on paper, then he makes a model that will serve as the basis for the different stages of the manufacture of the piece. The jeweler can work himself, or entrust some tasks to other professionals such as the stonemason or the setter. Once the jewel is cast, paved and set, the jeweler will need to take care of the finishing and polishing of the piece.
The jeweler can also create his own collections, repair jewelery or also transform and renovate existing old jewelery.
