Atelier Paulin

Atelier Paulin’s expertise consists of tracing a word to form a piece of jewellery in sculpted metal wire. The principle works with bracelets, fibulas, pendants and of course hoop earrings, which are also sold singly. Customers can feature their own message or word: anything goes! And for those who can get to a retail store, the craftsman can make an item on the spot. Prices start at €140. Words can be personalized.
