The stonecomes first.

The house

Natural stones of documented origin, and the gold made for them.

ORÉA MAISON deals in loose gemstones, each one chosen for itself and carrying a report from an independent laboratory. Nothing is set until the stone is chosen, and every setting is drawn around the stone it holds.

Gold

Made to order, in 18k gold.

Every piece is made to commission in 18k gold throughout. It can be built around a stone from the vault, or it can be gold alone. Nothing is made in advance and there is no ready-made collection. The stones themselves are seen by private appointment.

  • A cushion red spinel set in four claws on a plain gold band
  • A cushion padparadscha sapphire in four claws on a split gold shank
  • A cushion Paraíba tourmaline set flush in a broad gold signet
  • A cushion sapphire held in four gold claws on a fine gold chain

Commissions are taken by appointment. Tell us what you have in mind, or bring a stone, and the piece is drawn around it before anything is cast. You see the drawing, and the gold, at every stage of the making.
