Chopard
Master Gemsetting Artisan
Master Gemsetting Artisan Carlos is a expert who works in a dedicated part of Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie workshops team. He is capable of marrying stones with gold, platinum or titanium, a technique difficult to master. Precious metals are dedicated to serving these gems, supporting and magnifying them. The two are separably bound together and this alliance is sealed whilst looking through binoculars, in the silence of a Geneva workshop. Endlessly repeated operations that are nonetheless slightly varied, as each stone proudly displays its uniqueness. The gemsetting and Haute Joaillerie pieces bearing the Chopard signature all pass through the hands of this artist whose adrenalin is sparked by the sight and touch of precious stones.
Precisely, the skills qualities acquired by Carlos through his many years of experience, are showcased when he is dealing with stones of fragile beauty, an emerald weighing several dozen carats or a Paraiba tourmaline whose blue colour rivals that of lagoons, it is imperative to have the kind of dexterity that can only be acquired after decades of training with too much pressure, a gem can be shattered, when looking at luxury jewellery adorned with precious and fine stones, one might be tempted to take its beauty for granted. And yet, however invisible the gemsetting craftsmanship may be, one is in fact contemplating the work of a virtuoso. Gemsetting is an art of patience, meticulous care and self-control.
