— Maison since 2018 —
We do not believe in fast jewellery.
Every piece begins as a wax in our New York atelier — drawn, cast, set, and signed by the same hand that began it. This is the long way round. It is the only way we know.
— The Founder —
Mason Cole
"I drew it in a diner in Atlanta. Eight years later we still cast it from the same wax."
[PLACEHOLDER: client to replace] Mason Cole trained as a goldsmith before he was old enough to sign for the metal. He opened the atelier in 2018 with one bench, one vice, and a conviction that the people who wear real weight do not need to announce it.
[PLACEHOLDER: client to replace] He still sets every commission himself. The house has grown; that has not changed, and it is not going to.
— Craftsmanship —
Drawn, cast, set, and signed by one hand.
Five steps, in the order they happen. The wax is the third of them, and the last moment a design can still change its mind.
The drawing
Nothing is cut before it is drawn and agreed. A commission that is wrong on paper is wrong in gold, only more expensively.
The wax
Each piece begins as a carved wax — the last moment a design can still change its mind.
The cast
Lost-wax casting in solid metal. The wax is destroyed to make the piece; there is no second attempt from the same original.
The setting
Stones are set by hand, one at a time, under a loupe. This is the slow part, and the atelier does not shorten it to meet a date.
The finish
Filed, polished, and stamped with the maker's mark. Nothing leaves the bench unsigned.
— Materials —
Weight you can feel, or we will not sell it.
[PLACEHOLDER: client to replace — state your real metal and stone standards here. This is the most consequential claim on the site; see also the Authenticity page.]
Solid metal throughout — never filled, never plated over base. Stones are chosen by eye at the bench and rejected freely; a clean setting is worth more than a large one.
Gold is soft by nature. That is precisely why it takes a finish nothing else takes, and why we tell you how to look after it rather than pretending it is armour. Repairs & Care →
— Sustainability —
The most sustainable piece is the one you never replace.
[PLACEHOLDER: client to replace — every claim in this section must be verifiable. Sourcing and recycled-content claims are regulated in several markets; do not publish one the atelier cannot evidence.]
We make to order rather than to forecast, so the atelier does not cast what nobody asked for. Bench scrap is collected and refined back into stock.
We repair for life. A house that sells you the same chain twice has not made a good chain.
