OUR SAVOIR-FAIRE
At NAYESTONES, each piece of jewellery is the fruit of meticulous craftsmanship, combining tradition and innovation to create unique, timeless pieces.
01. INSPIRATION AND DRAWING
Each NAYESTONES piece comes to life through the imagination of the designer, Natalie Schayes. Inspired by clean lines and organic shapes, she creates an initial sketch on paper. This drawing is accompanied by a moodboard that reflects the aesthetic universe of the piece or collection: textures, colors and artistic influences all come together to guide the creative process.
This stage lays the foundations of the design, defining the unique silhouette and minimalist elegance that are NAYESTONES' signature.
02. 3D MODELING
Once the design has been validated, we transform the sketches into a digital model using 3D modeling. This step enables us to refine every detail, adjust proportions and give us a precise vision thanks to the final rendering. This technology guarantees perfect shape control and absolute fidelity to the original creation before we start manufacturing.
03. 3D MOLDING
The digital model is then materialized into a physical model using 3D printing. This prototype, often made in wax or resin, provides a tangible preview of the jewel before it is fabricated in precious metal. It also serves as the basis for the lost-wax casting technique, guaranteeing a faithful and precise reproduction of the original design.
04. CRAFT MANUFACTURING
Our artisan jewelers bring design to life using traditional techniques combined with modern technologies. Lost-wax casting is often used to create finely detailed pieces. Elements are cut, assembled and welded with precision, ensuring strength and aesthetic appeal.
05. STONE SETTING
Stone setting is a delicate process in which each stone is meticulously placed and attached to the jewel. This operation requires great dexterity to ensure that the stones are secure while maximizing their brilliance. Once the gemstones have been set, the gold setting reveals the jewel's relief and gives it all its splendor.
06. POLISHING AND FINISHING
After assembly, the jewelry is polished to reveal its full brilliance. Finishing is carried out with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a smooth surface and optimal wearing comfort.
07. ENJOY YOUR NAYESTONES PIECE
