Here you can discover jewels made by inspired artists who wish to make you take part in a traditional craft.
"Le Joyaux Catalans" are entirely made in our workshops that have been situated in the Pyrénées-Orientales since 1979. Our firm gathers the various jewellery trades, and every step of jewel making is carried out on site.

The art craftsmanship prize was awarded to our firm in 2003 and we are one of the few French jewellery firms to make all the elements of the jewel. From the pieces for jointing to the mounting of the gemstone - everything is made on site.

Origins of the jewellery craft
The "Catalan" mounting has its roots in antiquity since Greeks developed this technique.
This jewel, particularly preserved in this part of the Mediterranean region, was exclusively made with garnets. In that way the garnet is alive and this type of mounting gives it brilliance thanks to the reflection of the light created under the gemstone.

Since 2003, "Les Joyaux Catalans" have been marketed with the 'enamel foil'. The reflector made of gold and enamel guarantees permanent brilliancy. The light passing through the enamel reflects off the polished gold. After baking, the enamel gets very hard and resistant and protects the polished surface.
This patented technique was developed in our workshops.
