le gramme

le gramme makes jewellery for men in France, and every piece is named after its weight in grams. The number is always odd, which is a nice rule to build a brand around. The designs are pared back, taking simple, elementary shapes and repeating them, so you can stack bracelets, rings and necklaces to build up your own look. Pieces are made from recycled precious metal in specialist French workshops, where machine precision meets handwork. You choose the metal, the finish and the shape, and mechanical engraving makes each piece personal, which suits a gift. There's a two-year legal guarantee, and returns within 14 days are free in France and the EU, though engraved pieces can't be returned.
