Maison Éclat · established 1911
Cut from light.
Each ÉCLAT stone is chosen, cut and set by hand in our Paris atelier — for the way it behaves under light, not the way it behaves on a spec sheet.
01 / The Cut
Fifty-seven facets. One decision, cut by hand.
Every ÉCLAT stone is cut to maximize return of light, not carat weight. Our master cutters study each rough for weeks before the first facet is placed.
02 / Fire
Watch the light break apart.
Brilliance is the white light a stone returns; fire is the color it scatters. What you're watching is dispersion — the same physics as a prism, held still in your hand.
The maison
Since 1911, ÉCLAT has cut stones the slow way — by hand, under natural light, one decision at a time. We do not chase carat weight. We chase the moment a stone catches the light and holds it.
The collections
Four ways to wear light.
What we grade
The four C's, in plain language.
Cut
The only C the human hand controls — proportion and symmetry that decide how a stone plays with light.
Color
Graded D (colorless) to Z on a scale invisible to most eyes but exacting to ours.
Clarity
Inclusions are a stone's fingerprint. We disclose ours under 10x magnification, always.
Carat
Weight, not size — two stones of equal carat can look very different depending on cut.
The atelier
Four steps. No shortcuts.
Source
Rough stones are sourced through Kimberley Process–compliant channels only, traced to origin.
Study
A master cutter studies the rough for days to weeks, planning facets around every inclusion.
Cut & polish
Facets are placed one at a time, checked against light on a north-facing bench between passes.
Set
Stones are hand-set in our Paris atelier — no casting shortcuts, no outsourced setting.
In the press
“Light behaves differently here.”
