Signature
The Noir Suite
Blackened gold with hand-set pavé. A dark, architectural language for rings, cuffs and pendants built around contrast, not carats.

High Jewellery Manufacture
Where light is set in gold.
Aurelia Noir is a manufacturer's atelier template for fine jewellery houses, wholesale gem dealers and bespoke workshops. Lost-wax casting, micro-setting and hand finishing, presented with the restraint of a private salon.
The Collections
Three signatures, one obsession
Each suite is drawn in-house, cast in precious alloys and finished by setters who work under magnification. Every mounting below can be adapted to your gemstone, metal and budget — or reproduced to your wholesale specification.
Signature
Most Requested
Solitaire Gallery
The classic re-drawn: four and six claw mountings engineered so the girdle floats, and light enters from every angle.

Light Work
Pavé Lumière
Micro-pavé surfaces that read as one unbroken sheet of light — bead-raised, not glued, for setting that lasts decades.

The Atelier
Craft, stage by stage
Jewellery manufacture is a chain of patient steps. This template walks visitors through the four stages that matter most to buyers and trade partners — written so you can adapt each description to your own workshop.
Start a Bespoke BriefI
Lost-Wax Casting
A model is carved or printed, invested in plaster and burned out, leaving a negative that receives molten precious alloy. The result is a raw casting that already carries every detail of the final piece.
Model · Invest · CastII
Micro-Setting
Stones are seated under magnification, each bead of metal raised and folded over the girdle by hand. Micro-pavé is slow work — and the only way to make a surface of small stones read as one continuous gleam.
Bead-Raised · Under ScopeIII
Hand Finishing
Filing, sanding and polishing in graduated stages, followed by rhodium plating or deliberate oxidation. This is where a casting becomes jewellery: edges softened, reflections aligned, feel perfected.
File · Polish · PlateIV
Quality Control
Every piece is inspected before it leaves: stone security, claw tension, clasp function and surface finish, checked against a written standard and recorded for each production batch.
Inspect · Record · Release
Gemstones
Stones, honestly described
We describe gems by their gemmological character — colour, clarity and cut — never as financial instruments. Grading reports from internationally recognised laboratories are supplied on request.
Diamond
Sourced by the carat, colour and clarity that your design actually needs — not by a price list. Every stone is described against its laboratory report, where one is supplied.
Sapphire
Blue, pink, yellow and parti-colour. We show stones under daylight and warm light before you commit, so the colour you approve is the colour you receive.
Emerald
Emeralds are judged differently from diamonds: inclusions are accepted, even celebrated, as the stone's jardin. We guide you through clarity choices honestly.
Ruby
From deep Burmese-tone reds to soft rose. Heat treatment status is disclosed on every stone — and always noted in the documentation we hand over.
A note on descriptions: gemstone character is described visually and gemmologically only. Nothing on this page is, or should be read as, investment, financial or value-retention advice. Origin claims, treatments and grading are confirmed through the documentation accompanying each individual stone — see certification below.
Certified, documented, traceable.
For stones above a threshold you set with us, we supply independent laboratory documentation alongside your piece. Because every laboratory and every stone differs, the right report is a conversation — not a checkbox.

Certification
Which report fits your stone?
Some clients need a full GIA-style dossier for a solitaire; others need a simple origin letter for a suite of coloured stones. Tell our grading desk what you are buying, and we will confirm which documents are available — before you commit to anything.

Signature Mountings
Six settings, six personalities
The mounting decides how a stone lives on the hand. Below are the six families we cast most often — each available in every metal and adaptable to any gem.
P
Classic Prong
Four or six claws holding the stone high, maximising light entry and profile. The timeless starting point for solitaires.
Solitaire · TraditionalB
Full Bezel
A continuous rim of metal circling the girdle. The most protective setting, loved by hands that work.
Everyday · ModernH
Halo
A ring of pavé stones around the centre stone, borrowing sparkle to make the centre read larger and brighter.
Engagement · StatementT
Tension Flush
The stone appears to float between two points of metal. An engineering statement that demands precise stone calibration.
Contemporary · MinimalC
Channel & Bar
Stones set in a groove or between parallel bars — the classic language of wedding bands and eternity rings.
Wedding · EternityV
Cathedral Arches
Arched shoulders rising to the stone like vaulting. A romantic silhouette that suits larger centre stones.
Bridal · Vintage
Before You Ask
Questions we hear in the showroom
Can you manufacture from my own design or CAD file?
Yes — that is a core part of our OEM service. Send drawings, sketches or CAD files and we will confirm feasibility, materials and a quotation before any metal is poured.
Do your stones come with certificates?
Certificates are supplied on request and per stone, issued by internationally recognised laboratories such as GIA or IGI. Because each stone and laboratory differs, contact our grading desk to confirm which documents are available for the piece you are considering.
Are gemstones a good investment?
We do not sell stones as investments. Our descriptions cover gemmological character only — colour, clarity, cut and treatment — so you can buy something beautiful with your eyes open, not a financial promise.
What is the minimum for a wholesale order?
Minimums vary by collection and metal. Ask the trade desk for the current rate card and sample policy; we will quote your specific brief rather than guess.
Can I visit the workshop?
Workshop visits are arranged by appointment. It is the best way to understand micro-setting and finishing — seeing the bench usually answers questions no brochure can.

Honest Descriptions
Colour, clarity, cut and treatment stated plainly. What you are told in the room is what is written on the paperwork.
In-House Bench
Design, casting, setting and finishing under one roof — fewer hands on your piece, and one team accountable for it.
No Pressure
We would rather you compare us against two other houses than hurry a decision. Great jewellery is chosen slowly.
Bespoke
From first sketch to first wear
A private commission follows four clear stages. You will know the price of each decision before it is made — and see your piece in progress, not just at the finish.
Consultation
An unhurried conversation about the wearer, the occasion and the budget. We sketch while we talk; nothing is committed in the room.
Design & CAD
Your sketch becomes a technical drawing and a 3D render. Stone and metal are confirmed against a written quotation.
Casting & Setting
The piece is cast, set and finished in-house. You may visit the bench, or receive progress photographs by message.
Certification & Delivery
Final quality inspection, documentation handover, and delivery — insured, tracked, and fitted to the hand it was made for.
Atelier Journal
Notes from the bench
Short essays on the craft — written for clients who want to understand the piece they are about to own.
