The 18kt gold and platinum welded bracelet was born in Atelier VM's goldsmith workshop in 2014, initially without a name. A revolution in the standards of classic jewelry that Atelier VM named L’Essenziale. Innovative and unique, it immediately became an iconic object never seen before. The idea arose from the creative director's desire to fix a personal memory onto the body to prevent it from fading.

Atelier VM's L’Essenziale welded jewellery is unique because it is chosen for a personal reason and lives with the wearer. It is a distinctive sign, an extension of oneself. The L’Essenziale welded jewellery is not just an accessory but a powerful symbol carrying deep emotional value. It is the first and authentic welded bracelet made of 18kt gold and platinum to ensure a strong and lasting weld. L’Essenziale represents indissoluble bonds, memories etched on the skin. Unlike other jewelry that can be taken on and off, a welded piece becomes part of you in an almost imperceptible way. It is a constant reminder of an experience, a promise, or a person.

To gift L’Essenziale, Atelier VM's welded bracelet, visit the dedicated page and choose the welded jewelry you prefer. You can choose to receive a digital or paper gift card.​

The L’Essenziale Gift Card includes:

* The univocal code, without which it will not be possible to proceed with the jewelry welding.​

* A personal message to add during checkout.

The gift card has a 12 months validity starting from the date of its issue

With the purchase of a digital Gift Card, you receive immediately, via email or by downloading it from your reserved area, a precious document that includes the description of the chosen product and the unique code that will allow you to weld your jewelry even immediately by visiting any Atelier VM store.​

If you purchase a paper Gift Card, within 1 to 4 days, you will receive at home an Atelier VM shopper with an elegant envelope inside, containing the product description and the unique code.

In both methods, during checkout, you can insert your personal message for the person who will receive this precious gift, sharing the emotional value that this jewelry will have for you once worn.

Each bracelet is custom welded directly onto the wrist, with a safe and professional goldsmith machine by our specialized team at all Atelier VM stores without an appointment. Atelier VM's professional machines are 100% safe and have passed the required safety tests.

Since 2014, the L’Essenziale collection of welded jewellery has been made exclusively in 18kt gold or platinum. By choosing these materials, we have decided not to compromise: 18kt gold and platinum are the only materials—resistant, unalterable, and luminous—that maintain the original promise of lasting over time, preserving your precious memory on your wrist without ever letting it fade.

The chains differ in color, thickness, and type, and their price varies depending on the chosen chain. The price does NOT vary according to the wrist size but remains fixed.​

The L’Essenziale bracelet in 18kt gold or platinum does not cause problems for sports activities or medical visits. Additionally, our bracelets never need to be removed during airport security checks and are not detected by metal detectors. In case of mandatory removal for any reason, it is possible to re-weld the same bracelet for free at any Atelier VM store.​

Once your jewellery is welded and you have become part of our community, you can take advantage of all dedicated after-sales services. These include: free re-welding in case of bracelet removal for an operation or accidental damage or simply to add a charm from the Atelier VM collection, resizing in case of chain enlargement, and jewelry cleaning. Additionally, if your welded jewellery no longer reflects the emotional value you attributed to it, you can use the Fenice service, which allows you to melt it and obtain a nugget-shaped charm.
