The Process
Our goal is to create pieces that are as close to perfection as possible, and we use a variety of methods to achieve this. In addition to detailed drawings, we often make a 3 dimensional wax model of the piece which allows a very accurate viewing of the final product. We encourage consultation and feedback during the design process. Above all else, we have found that listening and paying attention to our client is of paramount importance.
Owner Kym Hill is directly involved in the design and selection of materials as well as in key stages of the casting and goldsmithing. She coordinates and oversees the team of specialists who work all other stages of the manufacture.
These artisans have been chosen for their high level of expertise in the various stages of the jewellery making process. All are dedicated to the creation of finely crafted pieces that bring lasting satisfaction to the customer.
The team includes: lapidarists Rogerio Gracia and Gerry Vaulkhard, who provide and cut stones to exact specifications; master carver Sid Harris, who has been working with Le Soleil for over 25 years; and Dan Ross, Steven Mehle, and Estelle Curwen, highly skilled goldsmiths who each bring decades of experience to the workbench.
