Notes from the atelier, essays on stones, and quiet conversations with the people who wear Facet.
Fifty diamonds, set by hand, on a mesh that took six months to design. A visit to the bench with our lead setter Marie, who has cut and set stones for twenty three years.
Every Facet chain is annealed twice, tested at ten thousand cycles. A short essay on why we stopped buying chain from suppliers in 2021.
Nadia and Kenji spent four hours at the bench with our founder. What they left with, and what they said about it a year later.
The gallery director on her Bella choker, why she never took it off, and what she wants the next generation of jewelry to look like.
Colour, clarity, cut, and the fourth thing nobody talks about: the source. A look inside a Zambian mine we have visited three times.
On Fridays the atelier stops making new work and starts servicing old work. A morning with Marie, cleaning and re-polishing seven pieces from clients across Europe.
What a diamond setter actually sees under the loupe, and why the smallest movement is the one that decides whether a stone stays in for a lifetime.
