In our atelier, you’ll find a jeweller’s workbench.
Concierges occasionally use this bench to work with their hands, deepening their understanding of rings.
Starting from the raw, unpolished form after casting, they file, shape, and hammer—sometimes learning directly from the master craftspeople in the workshop.
There is a profound difference between simply acquiring knowledge about rings and experiencing their creation firsthand.
"The direction of a matte finish matters—if not carefully aligned, it won’t look even."
"Achieving a mirror-like polish takes this much time and effort."
"Even the slightest distortion in the surface affects the way it sparkles."
By sharing the insights and wonder discovered through hands-on experience, we hope to help you cherish your ring even more.
When the finished ring finally graces your hand, it will hold a special significance, one that deepens your connection to it many times over.
If you ever find yourself curious about how a particular ring was made, please don’t hesitate to ask your concierge:
"How was this ring created?"
You may just uncover a detail that makes you fall in love with it even more.
