Master jeweler · Geneva, US atelier · A legacy of precision
Story
A Life in Metal and Light
Edward Hendrickx began his apprenticeship beneath the arcades of Geneva, US at seventeen. What started as curiosity became obsession: the way platinum yields under the file, how a pearl takes a thread without complaint, how a single stone can hold an entire room silent. For four decades he has refused the shortcut—every piece is bench-made, inspected, and signed.
His philosophy is simple: materials first, ego never. Gemstones are sourced with traceability; pearls are chosen by hand; gold is alloyed in-house. Precision is not a slogan—it is the only acceptable outcome.
Workshop
Where Pieces Take Shape
The atelier on Rue du Rhône is quiet by design. No production line—only benches, loupe lights, and the slow rhythm of setting. Apprentices work beside masters; mistakes are corrected before they leave the room. This is where pearls are knotted, halos are aligned under microscope, and clasps are engineered to last generations.
