At Joaillier Privé, we give our customers the chance to create their own unique jewel, knowing they have the expertise and heritage of Joaillier Privé behind them. We create uniquely beautiful jewellery that carries the personal memories of the client who commissioned it and helped guide its creative journey. The nature of bespoke is to understand our clients’ wishes and to respond to them creatively. We get to know each other informally and from that we can advise on the right gems and jewellery design.

These are heritage pieces that carry memories and personality and will be handed down through generations.

Diamonds were forged in the earth’s core billions of years ago and are the purest expression of beauty known to man. Joaillier Privé’s parent company is an internationally recognised diamantaire with access to some of the finest and largest diamonds in the world.

Joaillier Privé only uses diamonds that it has personally sourced from rough, meaning that we offer our clients the assurance of provenance and the ability to trace each stone from where it was mined to the final piece of jewellery it is set in.

The ability to supply the rare, exquisite diamonds known as ‘exceptional’ is limited to a number of elite international gemologists of which Joaillier Privé are one. They are able to supply these, as well as coloured stones to it’s clients in large sizes, fine cuts and a wide range of fancy colours.

Joaillier Privé buys these ‘exceptionals’ at specialist sales around the world, rare and highly exclusive events at which only the most precious rough stones are offered. Joaillier Privé is among an elite few diamantaires whose international standing means they are always present at these invitation-only events.

Every Joaillier Privé gem undergoes a magical transformation from rough stone to polished diamond. The specialist evaluation needed to retrieve a large, exquisite diamond from a rough stone takes from two hours to two days before a single facet can be made. With painstaking preparation and expertise, the resulting cut and polished diamonds then reveal their fire and timeless brilliance.

Taking a rough stone as the inspiration for a new piece of jewellery offers the added fascination of seeing your diamond at the very beginning of its journey from mine to finger, knowing where a diamond originated and how it was cut, polished and set.

With a matchless array of gemstones at its disposal, Joaillier Privé can supply individually selected diamonds anywhere in the world for a customer’s approval

This bespoke haute joaillerie service depends on decades of experience working with large, fancy and rare diamonds. A client of Joaillier Privé knows that whatever their vision when discussing their particular concept, the highest quality stones will be available to make their dream come true. A client may have been inspired by the beauty of a single gemstone or may prefer to take advantage of Joaillier Privé’s expertise in selecting and matching fine gems. Working from a broad idea of the desired effect they are looking for, Joaillier Privé’s team of internationally respected gemologists works with each client to create a customised selection of perfectly matched stones for them.

Taking diamonds with the best cut, clarity and colour as its raw materials, Joaillier Privé invites its customers to take part in the transformation of these brilliant gems into their own unique designs.

What sets the Joaillier Privé experience apart is the care given to getting to know each client. Creating unique and beautiful pieces of jewellery is possible because we build relationships with our clients – we understand their tastes, their families and the design, music and travel that they enjoy.

Reflecting the myriad influences and emotions that colour everyone’s lives, Joaillier Privé offers its clients not only peerless diamonds but a rainbow of the finest coloured gemstones with which to embellish their bespoke jewellery. With decades of experience acquiring the rarest coloured gemstones, Joaillier Privé has a matchless selection of gemstones to inspire and delight its clients.

These strands crystalise into the mood board that the design team tailors to a client’s initial brief. Discussions about what to include or revise are fluid and allow as much or as little input as the client wants.

Once approved, the early concepts are distilled into a hand-drawn design, which forms the basis for a detailed computer aided design rendering that the jewellery craftsmen can work from.

The design of each piece of bespoke jewellery brings together the fluid, intuitive creativity of a hand-picked group of master jewellers with the vision of the client.

Most designers work in house, but Joaillier Privé has also built up strong relationships with a network of internationally regarded jewellers who interpret and bring to life the individual wishes of each client. The design process is collaborative, inviting as much or as little input from the customer as they wish, from simply specifying the central gemstone of their choice to liaising on every stage of the creative process.

We express so much about ourselves through the jewellery we wear. Our designers take into consideration how a piece will be worn on the body, paying particular attention to how the gems capture the light, as well as the comfort and practicality of a piece. Like a painter, our designers know how different coloured gemstones and diamonds work in harmony.

Every stage of crafting a client’s unique creation is taken care of by Joaillier Privé using expert craftsman, gemologists, polishers and stone setters. Each is fully trained not only in the traditional craft of making jewellery, but also in the latest technology at its state-of-the-art facilities. All work is rigorously quality controlled.

However, the bespoke nature of our work means matching skills to a particular commission is paramount in order to get the best results. So in addition, Joaillier Privé has long-standing partnerships with specialist craftsmen worldwide, for example in Italy for platinum, France for complex enamelling work or the Far East for invisible settings. The professional ties between Joaillier Privé and these artisans ensure that every faultlessly executed piece is made on schedule and to budget.

The quality of the work is rigorously and painstakingly checked at every step. We call it ‘superior quality’ and the constant checks guarantee that the manufacture of every piece of Joaillier Privé jewellery achieves perfection.

At Joaillier Privé the customer experience is essential. The journey that each client embarks on begins in an elegant, intimate and very private Joaillier Privé lounge, where new clients are introduced to the creative possibilities of commissioning bespoke jewellery.

The Joaillier Privé approach to creating one-off jewellery is indulgent and personal and is based on forging lasting relationships. A dedicated member of the Joaillier Privé team remains in constant touch with clients from the first meeting through every stage of the design and manufacture of their jewellery, providing regular and informative updates as design dream becomes bespoke reality.

When completed, each piece of Joaillier Privé jewellery is presented to the client in a lavish purple box. Every unique piece comes with a signature flourish, a final perfect detail passed on from the craftsmen: a discreet JP monogram in the gold or platinum setting next to a brilliant cut diamond or semi-precious gem.
