Création de bijoux sur-mesure, Les Pierres de Julie, Paris

Julie Mialet will be your privileged interlocutor to help you create a unique piece or to modify your jewel because the creation of a personalized and custom-made jewel is an intimate and personal story.

Your jewel will come to life thanks to the work of meticulous goldsmiths and will follow different steps: from the choice of the stone to the design, including waxing, casting, setting and polishing!

1. Selection of the stone

All our creations are made in a Parisian workshop and meet the criteria of requirement of the Jewelry made in France. The selection of the stones: Whether you are in possession of a stone or you are looking for a unique stone, our first meeting will serve to choose the stone or stones that will be the basis of our work!

Julie will ask you multiple questions to determine your personality and your tastes, modern, classic, minimalist or opulent! If you already have a precise idea of the setting, do not hesitate to propose it to us.

2. Drawing and Modeling

Based on our first meeting and according to precise specifications, Julie will submit to you a felt-tip or "gouache" drawing of the necklace, bracelet or unique ring that will be made for you. This will allow you to visualize the jewel at best.

3. Wax model

Whether it is in wax or directly in metal, the model is the basis of your future jewel. Made according to the design of your choice, it includes the dimensions and the locations necessary for the fine and/or precious stones and diamonds that will be added later during the setting stage.

When a piece of jewelry comes out of the casting stage, the metal is in its raw state: its surface is not smooth and has many imperfections that must be corrected before the final result is obtained!
 

 

 

4. Setting your jewelry

To decorate and adorn your jewel with fine or precious stones (diamond, sapphire, ruby, emerald, tourmaline, garnet, Tanzanite, opal.....), it is the craftsman setter who enters the scene. According to your wishes, he will opt for a closed setting, a claw setting, a massé or a paving.

5. Polishing and Rhodium plating

Because your jewel is unique, there are many finishes to be applied just before the last step of polishing: hammering or brushing for a material effect, external or internal engravings for a personalization of the jewel: all finishes are possible.

Finally, the last step of the jewel, polishing, sometimes completed by a white rhodium plating for white gold jewels, will make your jewel shiny.

6. Punching

The hallmark of a jewel in precious metal (gold, silver or platinum) is the guarantee of the purity of the metal. It is done with a hammer that will leave the hallmark, by an approved customs service. The hallmark of master is the hallmark made by the craftsman jeweler, it will affix at the very last stage of manufacture of the jewel.

There are many hallmarks for gold depending on its purity: 999, 750, 585, 375 ... Pierres de Julie guarantees the hallmark, eagle head, 750/1000eme for gold 18 carats.

SAPPHIRES DIAMONDS YELLOW GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING

Our customer and his fiancée wanted a daisy ring centred on a round sapphire. Unlike a more traditional ring, they wanted to add sapphires to the pavé setting for a touch of originality, on our advice.

DRACHME SILVER YELLOW GOLD PENDANT

One of a kind pendant in the manner of the Bulgari « monete » collection. This Greek silver coin dating from 330 BC, minted under Alexander the Great, was given to my friend by one of her clients as a gift for good services. The result had to be as sober as possible and easy to wear every day. The combination of 18-carat gold and silver makes this pendant a timeless, wearable piece of jewellery.

GOLD-BEARING QUARTZ DIAMONDS YELLOW GOLD EARRINGS

Creation of a pair of earrings using two quartz crystals with gold veins (known as auriferous quartz and whose deposits, now depleted, were found in Australia) for a unique, modern style.
