It begins among the palms
Before the gold, there is the fruit. Our story begins in the date-growing oases of Saudi Arabia.
Medjool dates are gathered by hand from the palms, with care for their delicate skins and naturally soft flesh. The making begins with choosing well.

Chosen in Medina
Jumbo Medjool dates from Medina, selected for their generous size and deep, caramel sweetness.
Each date is graded at 24–28 grams and chosen for its supple, unbroken skin and rich amber flesh. Only then does it make its way to our atelier.

A little atelier imagination
The stone is removed through a careful cut along the date’s natural seam.
In its place goes a house filling: pistachio praline, Belgian ganache, rose gulkand and more. The date is then closed so it keeps its shape.

Touched by twenty-four karats
Certified 24-karat gold leaf, lifted with a fine brush and laid gently into every fold.
The leaf is about a ten-thousandth of a millimetre thin. It is applied until the date is sheathed in gold: a delicate finishing gesture.
