Journey to the heart of jewelry creation

It had only appeared to you in a dream. Fitted perfectly to your finger. Its setting, as soft as a second skin, discreetly set with a gradation of sparkling gems. In the center, the stone, mysterious, luminous, precious. This ring was a dream, now it’s a reality. All it took was one encounter, a surprising journey into the world of precious stones… An adventure on the edge of imagination and creation, in which Lionel Meylan accompanies you with expertise and passion. The journey begins with the choice of stone. Emeralds, rubies, sapphires, diamonds, tanzanites, garnets, spinels, tourmalines, zircons, spessartites… Under the watchful eye of Florence Agier, a gemmologist with a diploma from the HRD Institute in Antwerp, Belgium, you can’t go wrong – just listen to your heart. The journey then takes you into the colorful history of the stone, before opening up the field of all possibilities during the creation phase. Here begins a human adventure lasting between two and three months.

Yannick Meylan emphasizes: “A very strong relationship is created when a piece of jewelry is created. There’s something unspeakable that touches the essential. It’s an extraordinary and very special pleasure to create a piece of jewelry for someone. To ensure that every wish is fulfilled to the letter, Lionel Meylan’s experts interpret the dream jewel through a 3D drawing that is faithful in every respect to what it will look like once it has been made by the jeweller.

Ring or necklace, pendant, bracelet or earrings… Whatever form it takes, this jewel will reflect you. That’s the magic of made-to-measure, at the end of a journey to the very limits of intimacy.

From design to realization! A ring born of a dream has become reality.

The five gemstone essentials

ITS NATURE Among the main qualities of a precious or fine stone, you need to pay close attention to its hardness and resistance to impact. More delicate, like emeralds, aquamarines, opals or Paraiba tourmalines? Or more robust, like diamonds, rubies or sapphires? Each stone has its own personality and qualities, which an expert will fully appreciate.
ITS SHAPE Square, round, triangle, cushion… The shape of a stone gives it its character and brilliance. Its shape also determines how it will be mounted.
ITS SIZE A well-cut stone will always shine more brightly. The reflection of light, the extraordinary sparkle that characterizes precious stones, is based on a geometry perfectly mastered by the lapidary.
ITS VALUE It’s important not to be mistaken about the value of a stone, and to acquire it at the right price. Expert advice is essential, whether you’re buying a stone or inheriting it.
ITS EMOTIONAL POWER If a stone shines so brightly that you can’t take your eyes off it, if your heart races at the sight of it, it’s no accident. The emotion it evokes is also important.
