A handcrafted AND LOCAL production

All our jewels are created in an artisanal way in our workshops in Lyon, France and following the lost wax process, a thousand-year-old know-how.

Each of our works is entirely hand-carved to scale in a specific wax by our creator Chrystelle Desmurger, a graduate with honours from the prestigious Émile Cohl school.

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

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

A meticulous hand-finishing work is carried out by our team of qualified jewellers.

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

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

Precious metals, NOs VALUES

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

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

These certifications cover the jewellery supply chain from mine to display case and demonstrate a commitment to human rights, labour, the environment, mining practices, ethical business practices, social responsibility and anti-corruption.

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

We also offer yellow or pink vermeil. Vermeil is a gold-plated silver alloy that we offer in 10 or 20 microns (thickness of the plating), which confers an exceptional quality as well as a great longevity.

These commitments demonstrate our desire to control the traceability of metal and we are certain that you will find yourself in these values carried by our House.

 
 
 

Precious stones, Our commitment

Nous travaillons en étroite collaboration avec nos lapidaires et diamantaires sur un large choix de pierres précieuses d'une qualité rare et exceptionnelle, sélectionnées une à une tout en assurant une provenance hors zone de conflit.

Pour les pierres de couleur, ces mêmes labels n'existent pas encore, cependant, nos partenaires ont été sélectionnés pour leur sérieux et s’assurent d’un approvisionnement éthique.

Taillées à la main dans des ateliers de confection pérennes, responsables, valorisant l’humain et notre planète, chaque gemme est soigneusement sélectionnée pour ses qualités, dimensions, couleurs et brillances par nos soins afin d’être en parfaite harmonie avec la création réalisée.

Respectant le Kimberley Process pour les diamants, de qualité et clarté GVS1 minimum à DIF, ils sont certifiés par les laboratoires indépendants du GIA (Américain) ou du HRD (Anversois) dès qu’ils dépassent 0,3 carat.

Chaque pierre naturelle est unique de part son caractère, sa taille et ses tonalités.

L’intégralité de nos pierres précieuses proviennent de sources légitimes non impliquées dans le financement de conflits armés et en conformité acec les résolutions des Nations Unis.

Nos gemmes sont exclusivement d’origine naturelle.
