Cut, hammered, shaped and laminated the Sommet brooch is made from sterling silver wire and plates. A balanced gesture is the secret of savoir-faire. The result depends on the hammering, its rhythm and intensity whilst imprinting the metal in a unique fashion.

Then is applied a minimum 5 microns thick 750‰ gold layer, using a technique called galvanoplasty (or electrolysis). 

Silver and gold tend to merge, as the paler silvery glints, with time, mix with the warmer sheen of gold and gain a harmonious patina.
