A century of savoir-faire

Taille traditionnelle lapidaire, méthode jurasienne
Maison Ulysse Poncet is part of a centuries-old Jura know-how: lapidary cutting.

A lapidary is an expert craftsman who analyzes, shapes, and polishes precious stones to reveal their most accurate color, light, and proportions.
Over time, our House has specialized in the fitting and cutting of stones intended for jewelry, high jewelry and watchmaking.

Our expertise is based on the acquisition and sourcing of raw materials on international markets, followed by the working of the stone by the lapidary craftsman, polishing stages allowing us to obtain pieces perfectly adapted to the requirements of designers and manufacturers.

Innovation and the integration of industrial processes strengthen our artisanal craft

In addition to our lapidary cutting activity, we develop and refine industrial processes dedicated to working with precious stones, in order to meet the technical and economic requirements of the market.

We rely in particular on high-precision machining centers, enabling the creation of complex shapes and the production of series while maintaining a high level of quality.
Mechanized polishing processes are being used to enhance our production tool.

This expertise is enhanced by a continuous research and development approach, which allows us to explore new means of production and to support our clients in their projects, from feasibility studies and the choice of materials to 3D modeling and technical testing.
