At the heart of our know-how, absolute quality

From the initial idea to the final polish, focus on excellence

The drawing : the key to every creation

Gérard Vialet begins all his creations with a sketch and an original drawing : an idea, a vague dream which takes form, enhanced and coming to life through the latest techniques used in the jewellery trade.

To fire his imagination, Gérard Vialet :

- closely studies trends in French and international jewellery
- takes inspiration from his personal history, the history of his city, his memory and his immediate environment.
- he takes a close interest in other arts and crafts : painting, sculpture, architecture, decoration, fashion...
The result brings models which can really be considered as exclusive - for the most under patent at the National Institute of Industrial Property.

Stones : Aiming for perfection

- Gérard Vialet personally visits the large international diamond fairs in Antwerp, New York, Tel Aviv, to seek out, discover and choose stones.

- Our premises are, of course, adapted for their purpose (work in well-lit conditions...) and all the necessary testing and measuring equipment to enable the best scrutiny and evaluation. Moreover, we have opened a private customs consignment warehouse for diamonds and pearls.

These are therefore the best possible conditions to make the best selections...

We check our stones meticulously, and make a strict selection in order to obtain perfection by taking into account all of the following :
size,
color,
purity,
weight / carat.
Because we consider jewellery as an achievement of perfect beauty.

Manufacture : Charm unique to hand made pieces

For us, the best quality can only be attained by hand-made craftsmanship according to the strictest rules, along with modern jewellery aids.
- Creation of a jewel from the original drawing,
- setting,
- polishing / finishing :
the know-how necessary to each stage of manufacture and our highly-talented team guarantee the exceptional workmanship of our jewellery.

This creativity and high level of quality enable us to rank as privileged suppliers of large French jewellery groups.
