NAPOLÉON, Cherry earrings

A craft labeled EPV

Our red Napoleon earrings are entirely handmade in our workshop in Rennes, Brittany. Each pair is carefully assembled by our expert craftsmen, guaranteeing exceptional quality. The Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label attests to our commitment to artisanal excellence and the preservation of traditional techniques. This prestigious label recognizes our unique know-how and our dedication to creating authentic and sustainable jewelry.

The manufacturing steps for a unique result

The creation of the Napoleon red earrings follows a meticulous process, from the initial design to the final polishing. Each cherry is precisely carved, then hand-enameled to obtain a smooth and shiny finish. This process guarantees a unique rendering, where each earring reflects the attention to detail and expertise of our creators, making each pair an exceptional jewel.

What dyes are used?

We use hand-dyed dyes specially selected for their rich and long-lasting hues. The red cherries are hand-dyed, creating deep and vibrant shades. This artisanal method ensures that each earring has slight variations in color, making each pair truly unique. The green leaves are also carefully colored, adding a touch of freshness that perfectly balances the intense red of the cherries. This artisanal color palette highlights the natural beauty of the materials used.
