SAVOIR-FAIRE

Artisanal and local manufacturing

ARTISANAL AND LOCAL PRODUCTION

All our jewelry is created by hand in our workshops in Lyon, France , using the lost wax process, a thousand-year-old skill.

Each of our works is entirely hand-sculpted and to scale in a specific wax by our creator Chrystelle Desmurger , who graduated with honors from the prestigious Émile Cohl school.

No 3D printer is used , which allows us to transcribe every detail, even the most minute, with unique authenticity.

Thanks to our art foundry with more than a century of know-how , a cast is then created from the first wax model, allowing us to then obtain the creation in the desired materials, mainly 18 carat gold and 925 silver.

Careful hand finishing work completes the jewel by our team of qualified jeweler artisans.

All of our creations are stamped with our Master Jeweler's hallmark and the guarantee hallmark certifying the quality of the alloy used.

Our workshops are exclusively located in Lyon, France and certified by one, several, or all of the labels “ Responsible Jewellery Council ”, “ Chain of Custody ”, “ Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant ”, “ ISO 9001 ”, “ ISO 14001 ”.

PRECIOUS METALS, OUR VALUES

Our workshops are exclusively French and certified by various labels respecting an ethical and environmental approach.

100% of the Gold we use is responsible, either recycled or from certified mines.

Our alloys are Responsible Jewelry Council , Code of Practices and Chain of Custody certified, which ensures traceability from responsible subsidiaries.

These certifications cover the jewelry supply chain , from mine to showcase , and demonstrate commitment to human rights , labor, the environment, mining practices, ethical conduct, social responsibility and the fight against corruption.

The alloy grades we use are 750/1000 for 18 carat white, yellow or pink gold, and 925/1000 for silver .

We also offer yellow or pink vermeil. Vermeil is a gold-plated silver alloy that we mainly offer in 10 or 20 microns (thickness of the plating), which gives exceptional quality as well as very long life .

These commitments demonstrate our desire to master the traceability of metal and we are certain that you will identify with these values ​​upheld by our House.

PRECIOUS STONES, OUR COMMITMENT

We work closely with our lapidaries and diamond cutters on a wide selection of precious stones of rare and exceptional quality , selected one by one while ensuring provenance outside conflict zones.

For colored stones, these same labels do not yet exist, however, our partners have been selected for their reliability and ensure ethical sourcing .

Hand-cut in sustainable, responsible manufacturing workshops that value people and our planet , each gem is carefully selected for its qualities , dimensions, colors and brilliance by us in order to be in perfect harmony with the creation made.

Complying with the Kimberley Process for diamonds , of minimum GVS1 quality and clarity to DIF, they are certified by the independent laboratories of GIA (American) or HRD (Antwerp) as soon as they exceed 0.3 carat.

Each natural stone is unique in its character , size and tones.

All of our gemstones come from legitimate sources not involved in the financing of armed conflicts and in compliance with United Nations resolutions.

Our gems are exclusively of natural origin.

“Real is rare and precious”
