Sketched, set and polished under one roof.
For thirty-seven years, Atelier Collet has practiced the unhurried discipline of a Lyon maison — the same workshop on the slopes of Vieux Lyon where Henri Collet first struck gold in 1986. A team of twenty-eight now works in that light: nine bench jewelers averaging fourteen years at the bench, a GIA Graduate Gemologist at the head of our gem desk, and an apprenticeship program that has trained forty-seven craftspeople since 2003.
Every catalog piece is cast in-house in 95% recycled gold and platinum, certified by the Responsible Jewelry Council under Chain-of-Custody since 2014; our heritage and bridal lines use Fairmined gold, and every diamond enters through Kimberley Process and RJC-compliant channels. We do not mine. We source — directly, where we can, from Sri Lanka, Colombia and Madagascar — and we set every stone ourselves.
The work is finished, weighed, and stamped on the inside of the band: a name, a year, a small "AC." When it leaves the workshop it carries a lifetime restoration guarantee — prong re-tipping, rhodium plating, an annual inspection at our flagship — for as long as it is worn.
