Le Gramme refines its iconic maillon in mixed metal

Le Gramme has refined its most recognisable motif with a new variation of the maillon that demonstrates the house’s intuitive grasp of material language. The iconic chain link, which has become synonymous with the Paris jewellery house since its inception, now exists in a precious dialogue between brushed 925 sterling silver and warm 18k yellow gold. The shift from monolithic metal to this considered interplay of finishes creates a piece of genuine sophistication, where restraint and richness coexist without compromise.

The maillon has always relied on a particular kind of architectural clarity. Each link sits as a perfect rectangle, stacked and connected with deliberate precision. This new iteration respects that fundamental geometry whilst introducing a warmth that comes from the gold elements integrated throughout. The contrast between the cool silver and the honeyed tone of the yellow gold creates visual rhythm along the length of the bracelet, inviting the eye to trace the composition. The brushed finish across both metals ensures the piece reads as unified despite the material variation, avoiding the visual noise that can occur when metals compete rather than converse.

What distinguishes this approach is its restraint. Le Gramme has never believed in superfluous ornament. Each element of the design serves a purpose, whether structural or visual, and this mixed metal maillon adheres to that philosophy entirely. The gold appears as purposeful accents rather than elaborate flourishes, suggesting a hand moving deliberately across a composition. It is jewellery that rewards close looking, the kind of piece that reveals its thought through sustained wear and observation.

The maillon collection remains available through Le Gramme’s stockists and directly from the house.
