Open the finderMade to order
Choose a setting, then a stone, then a metal and US size. You see an indicative price instantly, and our own goldsmith makes the ring at our bench in the Netherlands.
We show you the finished piece on a video call before the stone is set, so you approve it before anything is final.
Our own line
Atelier is jewelry made today, by hand, at our bench in the Netherlands.
We work in the styles we have spent five decades restoring: the same proportions, the same techniques, the same warmth of worked gold, in a piece that has never been worn by anyone but you.
Our goldsmiths also work to order. Bring us a drawing, a photograph of a piece you once saw, or a family ring you no longer wear, and we design something around it.
Atelier pieces are newly made and never sold as antique or vintage. Everything else in the collection is an authentic vintage or estate piece, and is labeled that way.
Inside the atelier
Filmed in our own workshop. Sound is not needed, captions are on by default, and nothing plays until you press play.
At the bench
Four hands, one bench, roughly 6 to 8 weeks from drawing to finished piece.
We start on paper: proportions, shoulder width, how the stone should sit on the hand. You see the drawing before anything is cut.
The model is carved and cast in fresh 14K or 18K gold, or platinum. Nothing is bought in finished; the frame starts as raw metal at our bench.
Stones are cut for the frame they go in and set by hand, claw by claw, so the girdle sits level and the light comes through the back.
Filed, emeried and polished by hand, hallmarked where required by Dutch law, then checked by our jewelry specialists in the Netherlands.
Signature settings
Choose a setting, then a stone and a metal. Prices below are indicative for the setting alone, before the stone.
The stone box
We keep a working stone box at the bench: cabochons for signets, faceted stones for solitaires and cluster work. Pick a metal and a stone to read how it wears and which settings suit it. If the stone you want is not here, we source it and quote before we begin.
Topaz · oval cut
From $320 as an indicative stone price
A deep, slightly steely blue that keeps its colour under warm indoor light. Topaz takes a crisp polish, so facet edges stay sharp.
Wearing it
Hard enough for regular wear. It can chip on a knock, so we set it with a little metal over the girdle.
Metals we suggest
Settings that suit it
Cool blue against warm yellow gold is the classic Deco contrast.
What you can hold us to
Talk to a goldsmith
Thirty minutes on video with one of our specialists. See the gold, the stones and the finish in daylight, ask anything about a made to order piece, and choose a time in your own time zone. No obligation to buy.
Made to order
Bring us a drawing, a photograph of a piece you once saw, or a family ring you no longer wear. Our goldsmiths quote before they begin, and you see the design before we cast. The result is a new piece, made today, and we always say so.
Not sure where to start
Answer a handful of questions about what you like, and we will show you what we hold right now — and what we can source or make for you.
About the atelier
Atelier is the part of the house where we make rather than buy. Our goldsmiths work in the same workshop that restores the antique and estate pieces we sell, which is where the styling comes from: cut down claws, hand cut milgrain, signet faces made for a cabochon. The gold is new, the stones are chosen at the bench, and nothing here is presented as old.
Most Atelier work starts with a conversation. Bring a drawing, a photograph of a piece you once saw, or a family ring you no longer wear. We draw, quote and only then cast. You see the design and the price before any metal is cut, and the finished piece leaves with a description of exactly what it is.
We keep a working stone box at the bench: cabochons for signets, faceted stones for solitaires and cluster work. Rings are made in US sizes, and most designs can be resized at our own bench afterwards. Where a stone is soft or porous we say so on the page rather than leave you to find out.
