LUNE

Paris · Hand-cast fine jewellery

Cast once
a moon.

Every piece is carved in wax for the person who ordered it, then poured with the month's others on the night of the full moon.

Next pour: the coming full moon.

Turn it in the light.

The lunar month

The atelier keeps
the moon's time.

One cycle, four stages, one pour. Tonight's moon is drawn from the date.

    New moon → first quarter

    Orders are open. Each one is carved in wax that week, at the bench, from the drawing.

Ordered today, a piece is poured on the next full moon.

Lune's atelier in a Marais courtyard: one long worn bench under a tall window, wax rings in trays, plaster moulds on a shelf.

One bench,
two hands.

Lune is a single bench in a courtyard workshop in the Marais. The same two hands draw a piece, carve it, cast it and set it.

Because nothing is made ahead, each piece arrives a little different from its photograph — the hammer marks, the craters of a pendant, the length of a link are its own.

Visits by appointment, Thursday to Saturday. The pour itself is private.

An unbleached card box lined with cotton holding the Nocturne ring, beside a blank card, cotton ribbon and a wax seal.

How it arrives

In unbleached card and cotton, with the date of its pour written by hand.

Sizes are remade on the next moon at no cost. Gold and silver offcuts go back into the crucible.

Commissions

Have something carved.

Wedding bands, a stone you already have, a piece remade from old gold. Commissions join the pour after the drawing is agreed.
