A Geneva house
Carron Olivier is a fine jewellery house based in Geneva, place des Eaux-Vives. It designs jewellery in solid hallmarked gold, 9, 14 or 18 carat, set with lab-grown stones, and has each piece made to order rather than in batches.
The catalogue is deliberately short: four rings, one bangle, one necklace. Each piece was drawn to stand on its own, and to be worn every day.
The ocelle
The ocelle is the eye that closes the peacock's feather: a coloured centre, a radiance around it. It is the founding motif of the house. You find it engraved by hand on the plate of the bangle, drawn by the halo of the ring, elongated by the marquise cut of the pendant. A true green, a warm gold, and nothing around it.
Our stones, grown in a laboratory
All our stones are grown in a laboratory: hydrothermal emeralds and IGI-certified diamonds. Their chemical composition, hardness and brilliance are those of a mined stone. What changes is the origin, and what that makes possible.
A mined emerald of comparable green, without heavy oiling, trades at levels that exclude most buyers from the outset. The lab-grown stone moves that threshold: it allows a full carat, a colour chosen rather than accepted, and traceability without grey areas. We say it is the same stone, with a different history.
This origin is stated on every product page and on the certificate of composition supplied with the piece.
Gold, always solid
Never plated, never vermeil. Our pieces are in solid gold, at the carat chosen. Nine carat is the hardest and the most discreet in colour; eighteen carat the warmest and the heaviest. Fourteen sits between the two and suits daily wear.
Every piece carries two engraved marks: the fineness in three digits, 375, 585 or 750 thousandths, and the maker's mark of the house, registered with the competent Swiss federal office. Any jeweller can then identify, at any time, the metal and who stands behind the work.
Made for you
Each piece is made for you, after the order. Allow ten to fifteen working days: here is what happens in the workshop meanwhile. For rings, we confirm your ring size after the order, at no extra cost. The piece reaches you in the house case, with its signed certificate of composition.
You then have thirty days to change your mind, return carriage at our expense.
