Jewelry is a regulated profession with specific laws
Main materials
Applied in a thin layer, it hardens a surface and prevents oxidation.
Rhodium-plated Silver
Applying rhodium to silver limits oxidation and gives it a white-gold color.
Rhodium-plated metal
Rhodium can also be applied to other metals (brass, pewter, zamak) to give them a hue close to white gold.
Gold alloy ranging from 9 to 18 carats (375 to 750/000) according to international standards. The remainder of the alloy is silver and copper.
Vermeil
Sterling silver (925/1000) covered with a layer of gold. The designation is protected in certain countries (for example, in France, a minimum layer of 5 microns of gold is required, and a titration of
Gold plated
French standard requiring a hallmark. A layer of gold strictly superior to 3 microns, with a titration that can vary between 500 and 750/1000, is applied to a base of base metal, generally brass.
Golden Silver
Sterling silver (925/000) covered with a thin layer of gold, with no guarantee or specific regulations on thickness.
Golden metal
A thin layer of gold (often less than 1 micron thick) deposited on a base metal, usually brass, bronze, pewter or zamac. Titration can vary widely from 9 to 23 carats. No guarantee or specific regulations on thickness. It may be coated with a varnish (cataphoresis)..
Generally applied in thin coats to improve durability and oxidation.
Palladium-plated silver
The application of palladium on silver limits its oxidation and gives it a grey metallic hue.
Palladium-plated metal
Palladium can also be applied to other base metals (brass, bronze, pewter, zamak)
Generally applied in thin coats, it gives the product a black metallic finish.
Ruthenized silver
Applying ruthenium to silver gives it an aged or black effect.
Ruthenized metal
Ruthenium can also be applied to other metals (brass, bronze, steel, tin, zamak).
Appellation based on a silver content of 800/1000. The most common grade is 925/000, also known as sterling silver.
Silver plated
Generally applied to a base of base metal, the silver layer must be strictly greater than 10 microns (may vary by country) with a minimum grade of 925/000. This standard requires a hallmark.
Argenture
Deposition of a thin layer of silver on a metal surface. Generally used to refresh oxidized silver pieces.
A metal alloy less commonly used in jewelry, composed mainly of iron and a little carbon, chromium and other alloying elements such as nickel or manganese are added to make it stainless (“Inox”). 316L stainless steel is particularly strong and contains less nickel (REACH-compliant).
Golden steel
Not really a gold deposit (around 0.03 microns), the appellation refers to a gold color deposited by materials other than gold. This technique (PVD) does not qualify as “Fine Gold Gilding” (over 0.1 microns) or “Gold Plating” (over 3 microns).
Silvery steel
No silver deposit, the name refers to a silver color deposited by materials other than silver.
Used as a base in manufacturing processes to keep costs down.
Brass
A metal alloy often used in jewelry for its strength and flexibility. It is made of copper and zinc.
Bronze
A less common metal alloy used in jewelry, consisting mainly of copper and tin.
Zamak
Alloy essentially composed of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper. It is appreciated in costume jewelry for its robustness and low cost.
Brass
Soft, malleable and inexpensive metal, often used for jewelry or decorative objects. It can be worked in sheets, molded or welded, and has a silvery-gray appearance. Despite its low resistance to scratches, it remains interesting for original, inexpensive designs.

Commercial, social and environmental responsibility
As a real challenge for present and future generations, we are actively working to make the world a better place.
We are proud to announce our certification by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) for its Code of Practices.
The RJC is a recognized international organization that promotes ethical, social and environmental standards in the HBJO industry.
Our RJC certification attests to our compliance with strict criteria in terms of human rights, environmental protection and responsible business practices.
As an industry leader, we are committed to offering high-quality products, while contributing to a more transparent and sustainable future for the jewelry industry.
We have also obtained ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, which guarantee that our processes are under control and that the environment is protected. We ensure compliance with strict requirements, with regular audits carried out by government-approved bodies.
To limit the impact of our activity on natural resources, 100% of the gold and 80% of the silver used in our products are recycled.
Because they can be melted down, all our jewelry is recyclable: gold, brass and silver can be reused.
Other projects are currently underway to reduce our environmental footprint, such as the use of 100% recyclable packaging.
