What types of elements can be encapsulated in Valois Varden jewelry?
Valois Varden jewelry allows you to encapsulate a wide variety of personal and evocative items. Among the types of items you can place inside these pieces are:
- Scent
- Earth or sand
- Dried flowers or petals
- Strands of hair
- Written messages
- Ashes...
Each piece of jewelry is designed to accommodate these precious materials, allowing you to keep an intimate and personal memory close to your heart.
How does the encapsulation of elements work in Valois Varden jewelry?
The Valois Varden jewelry encapsulation system works
in several precise steps, allowing each piece of jewelry to be transformed into a
personal and emotional talisman:
- First, you choose the type of encapsulation system you want : either a reversible screw-thread bottle pendant (which can be opened and closed), or a permanently sealed capsule (which cannot be opened once closed).
- You then place the meaningful element of your choice inside the piece of jewelry : this could be a lock of hair, dried flowers, a little soil, perfume, ashes, a written message, etc.
- Once the element is inserted, the jewelry is closed according to the chosen system . In the case of a screw-top bottle, it can be reopened if needed. For a sealed capsule, the element remains permanently enclosed.
The personalized piece of jewelry can be worn daily, becoming a unique object of memory and emotion for its owner.
This process combines fine jewelry with an intimate and memorial dimension, each piece being designed to preserve and carry a precious memory, respecting French craftsmanship and contemporary innovation.
How are the jewels personalized?
Valois Varden jewelry is highly customizable thanks to several options that allow you to create a unique and personal piece:
- Choice of encapsulation system: you can select between a reversible screw-thread bottle pendant (openable and resealable) or a permanently sealed capsule (non-openable).
- Inserting a personal element: you can encapsulate the object or material of your choice (perfume, earth, dried flowers, hair, a message, etc.) inside the jewelry.
- Personalized engraving: it is possible to have a text, name, date or message engraved on the jewelry to enhance its personal touch.
- Custom-made : each piece of jewelry is created according to your wishes and your story, in collaboration with the house's artisans, to reflect your memories, your values, and your aspirations.
- Unique design : the aesthetic appearance of the jewelry can be adapted according to your preferences, to match your style and the desired symbolism.
This personalization process makes each Valois Varden piece of jewelry a unique object, designed to celebrate and preserve your most precious memories.
