Craftsmanship

Every piece begins as a drawing at actual size. Proportion is decided on paper, against a hand or a neck, before any material is committed.

Cast in house and finished by hand. Galleries are pierced so that light reaches the stone from below; shanks are tapered so a ring sits without rotating. Where a piece articulates, the links are built to move in one plane only.

Each seat is cut for its own stone rather than to a standard. Claws are pushed and then re-cut so the metal holds without covering the girdle. On pavé, the beads are raised from the metal of the piece.

Inside surfaces are polished to the same standard as outside surfaces. Edges are broken so they do not catch. A piece is checked three times: after setting, after polishing, and before it is boxed.

Every centre stone is certified independently. The certificate and a Córvel record of the piece, reference, metal, weights and date, travel with it, and are held against your account for any future service.
