Manufacturing
The Par Coeur collection is entirely made in France: in our Parisian workshop, where we design and manufacture the majority of our jewelry; and by artisan jewelers based in Paris and throughout France for the rest.

Only our Voyage collection is made in Portugal, as Portuguese artisans possess a unique expertise in enameled medallions, which allows us to reproduce Elisa’s designs with such precision on our Voyage medallions and our 9k gold Sea collection.
For the Par Coeur medals, we use traditional engraving techniques that were once used to mint coins.
Some designs are inspired by antique dies and Elisa’s original drawings.

Our collections feature a 925 sterling silver base, over which a 5-micron layer of 18k gold is applied (which is five times thicker than on gold-plated jewelry!), a process known as vermeil.
Vermeil is a protected designation in France; vermeil jewelry must consist of a silver base with a 5-micron layer of 18k gold and is hallmarked, which guarantees its authenticity.

Our jewelry can also be made in 18k gold upon request, using the same artisanal techniques, and always in France.
Care GuideOur jewelry, crafted from precious metals such as silver and gold, is designed to be worn and to accompany you throughout your day. However, it is best to avoid contact between your jewelry and cosmetics or perfumes, and to remove it before sleeping and washing.
Vermeil and silver can naturally tarnish over time, especially if they are not worn. If you notice a spot of tarnish, simply polish it with a soft cloth and a silver polish. Silver and vermeil jewelry will retain its luster even better if worn frequently.
If, however, jewelry that you have worn frequently needs to be re-gilded, you can contact our workshop to request a quote for re-gilding.
