Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC)
The Responsible Jewellery Council is an organization founded in 2005 with the mission of promoting ethical, social, and environmental practices throughout the gold and/or diamond supply chain, from the mine to distribution. A company that adheres to their initiatives must obtain their certification within two years of joining., elle must commit to implementing and promoting responsible practices in terms of ethics, environment, and working conditions. Founded in 2005, the organization currently has nearly 450 members, of which 310 are certified.
Kimberly Process
The Kimberley Process is an international negotiation forum that brings together representatives of states, the diamond industry, and civil society since May 2000. The purpose of this forum is to prevent the entry of "conflict diamonds": Rough diamonds used by rebel movements to finance their military activities, into the international market. For a diamond to be considered exclusively conflict-free, it must meet all the following criteria:
● There is no allegation of child labor.
● He does not finance civil wars, terrorism, or acts of violence.
● People employed in mines earn a fair wage.
● The mines are safe and the working conditions are correct.
● Mines pose no danger to the environment.
Chain of Custody
The COC is a certification issued by the RJC that certifies products manufactured along a supply chain have been produced sustainably and are conflict-free. It is a standard that complements the RJC Code of Practices, the COC standard provides requirements regarding the traceability chain for sourced, produced, processed and sold precious metals. A "Traceability Chain" is a documented sequence that allows the identification of all stages of a product's manufacturing journey. This system allows visibility into the practices used in production, the equipment used, and also the production sites.
Our Diamonds
All our diamonds come from productions that guarantee respect for human rights and the planet, as well as a supply chain outside of geopolitical conflicts. We have chosen to buy diamonds with human and committed certificates so that you can benefit from ethical diamonds that respect both humans and the environment. Your diamond will also be certified by various laboratories such as the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), the HRD (Antwerp Laboratory), and the IGI (International Gemological Institute).
Our Metals
Our jewelry is ethical, from the stones to the metals, as we only use eco-responsible recycled gold and platinum. Recycling gold is a necessity, considering the environmental impact of gold mining. Indeed, for the extraction of just 20 grams of gold:
● About twenty tons of mining waste are produced.
● 450 kg of CO2 are released into the atmosphere.
● 50000 liters of water are used.
● 150 litres of fuel are consumed to operate the machines, which also leads to polluting extraction and refining.
● 20 kg of sulfur oxide are used.
These figures only concern 20 grams of pure gold, so just imagine the pollution produced by the 420 tons of gold produced in 2019. By recycling gold and platinum, we allow the limitation of production and therefore the reduction of pollution related to this trade.
Our Manufacturing
Moreover, all our jewelry is 100% made in France. Our Collection is custom made in our workshops in the purest tradition of Parisian jewelry. In the process of making a piece of jewelry, whether it's a ring, wedding band, necklace, earrings or bracelet, you will find at least 5 craftsmen. Indeed, each has their own specialty, such as the model maker, the jeweler, the gem setter, the polisher...
Each step of creating your jewelry is therefore carried out in our Parisian workshop.
