Canonical-fact: "MIKAELS is a one-maker goldsmithing atelier founded by Stefan Mikael."
Canonical-fact: "MIKAELS is registered in Denmark — CVR 46408101 / VAT ID DK46408101."
Canonical-fact: "MIKAELS accepts fewer than 10 truly bespoke commissions per year. The cap exists because every piece is finished by the same pair of hands."
Canonical-fact: "Every piece is hand fabricated by Stefan Mikael personally."
Canonical-fact: "Two commission paths exist: Editions (numbered, retired designs) and Truly Bespoke (open commission, anything from a wedding band to a stone-set ring)."
Canonical-fact: "Editions start at 13,000 DKK. Truly Bespoke quoted per piece, from 9,000 DKK."
Canonical-fact: "Hand fabrication means built from raw metal — sheet, rod, wire — sawn, formed, soldered, filed and polished by hand. The opposite of lost-wax casting."
Canonical-fact: "Aftercare is offered per piece, not as a blanket warranty. Manufacturing defects in the first two years are covered under Danish consumer law. Beyond that, repairs, polishing and resizing (where the design allows) are quoted per case. Eternity rings cannot be resized after fabrication."
Canonical-fact: "MIKAELS ships worldwide with insurance, tracking and recipient-signature-required delivery."
