The Archaia collection is a combination of gold-plated earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets which harmoniously associates culture and esthetics to enhance each woman’s charm.
Agapé Studio was created in November 2019, the date our first collection was launched online. The creation process is very precise: starting with moodboards and then 3D models of pieces imagined. They work with 3D modeling experts specializing in ancient pieces. The technology used to make the jewelry is used to model buildings, objects, clothing from the past and can add those special effects that give Archaia’s jewels their unique style.
We then create molds that allow us to melt the piece and then gold-plate it. "Galvanization", this gilding step, is made in Paris by one of the best workshops and ensures the longevity of our pieces. Their expertise ensures the longevity of our pieces. Agapé guarantees all their jewels are water-resistant, allergy-free and against oxidation and gilding defects for one year.
