REPORTAGE
OFFERING QUALITY JEWELRY AT THE RIGHT PRICE, IN CLEAR ALIGNMENT WITH HUMAN AND ECOLOGICAL VALUES.
All our jewelry is made of recycled and ethical 18-carat gold. Gemstones are sourced with
the greatest care: they are chosen for their quality and beauty, but also with the guarantee
that they were extracted in good (environmental and social) conditions. Most of our pieces
are only available to order so as to prevent overstocking.
ETHICAL MANUFACTURING in FRANCE AND PORTUGAL
Our production is artisanal and 100% European. In the beginning, our jewelry was crafted in Jaipur, India. In 2019, we made the decision to fully relocate our production in order to promote local craftsmanship and reduce our carbon footprint.
Today, our pieces come to life between Biarritz, in our French workshop, and Porto, in a family-run Portuguese atelier. Both places embody the same artisanal expertise and ethical values that guide us: high standards, transparency, and respect.
We strive to minimize our environmental impact by choosing the least polluting production methods. We are aware that there is still much to be done, and we share our progress with full transparency.
100% RECYCLED GOLD
Since 2021 we have been working exclusively with recycled 18-carat gold, i.e. melted from existing pieces. Gold is an infinitely recyclable material: it can be melted over and over, never losing its luster or properties.
The world’s extracted gold reserves should cover the needs over the next 50 years. That’s why we have chosen partners specializing in gold recycling starting with the workshop because we believe there can be no compromise in this regard.
We also strive to use second-hand materials whenever possible in order to limit our impact and protect the planet. In accordance with the RJC’s Chain of Custody standard, we purchase only conflict-free certified gold.
and CAREFULLY SOURCED STONES
From extraction to cutting, polishing and setting, all our stones are sourced with the utmost care. 30% of the stones set in our jewelry are carefully selected by Sophie from trusted gem cutters, and 70% by the workshop from long-standing partners. We closely monitor the supply chain to ensure optimal, respectful conditions.
All our white diamonds are conflict-free certified under the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. Unfortunately there’s no equivalent for colored stones, so our commitment relies on our absolute trust in our suppliers.
RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING
One of the characteristics of our jewelry house is the use of a wide range of colored gemstones, as we’ll always prefer the intensity of emerald, the charm of ruby or the color palette of sapphires to traditional white diamonds. We work with small gemstones, mounted in intricate mosaics that reflect rays of light like stained glass.
We favor responsible and sustainable manufacturing processes, producing the right quantities and encouraging a pre-order system. We keep stock of our most iconic pieces to satisfy last-minute requests, but a large share of our collections is produced exclusively on request and to order. We don’t do sales or overproduction, as we strive to offer high-quality
jewelry at the right price, all year round.
And we’ve taken it a step further with our Full Diamond collection by selling it exclusively in our own boutiques and on our e-shop. By cutting out the middleman, we can significantly reduce the final price.
The many facets of these stones are meticulously polished and require the same exceptional quality and attention to detail as larger multi-carat gems.
We favor responsible alternatives wherever possible in our global operations, from reducing paper and packaging to offering bicycle delivery in Paris.
