FINE JEWELRY

“All that glitters is not gold”…Okay, true, but what if it is indeed gold and it is recycled? Our Fine Jewelry collection is crafted with recycled gold, which combines the highest quality and durability with the contemporary essence of this material.

The quality and purity of gold is measured in karats. A karat is one twenty-fourth (1/24) of the total mass of a precious metal. We use 18k gold: this means that if we divide a piece of gold into 24 parts, 18 parts (75%) are pure fine gold and the remaining 6 parts (25%) are a mix of other metal alloys to strengthen the piece. This mixture is essential to craft durable and sturdy jewelry pieces.

Gold also has different alloys, allowing for different hues. Our collection includes both white and yellow gold pieces. Yellow gold tone comes from nature, while white gold mixes yellow gold with platinum and it’s plated with rhodium, giving it its elegant white tone and brightening the piece.

Recycled gold (as its name suggests) is made of recycled metals no longer in use that can include wasted or unused metal or melted gold-bearing products. The best part? It keeps gold’s essence and quality while asserting the environmental and social responsibility we are working towards.

With no mining involved in the process, we lessen the social and ethical risks associated with it. The use of recycled gold also allows us to reduce the use of new raw materials and to lower our environmental impact, giving gold the second life it deserves: beautiful pieces of jewelry.

We only use gold from sources verified by recognized organisms. We rely on the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), the world’s leading standard setting organisation for the jewelry industry that works to ensure ethical business and responsible management in the supply chain.

All the recycled gold used in the manufacturing of our jewelry comes from foundries verified by the standard CoC (Chain of Custody) of the RJC.

Diamonds are considered the most precious gem in the world, a mineral consisting essentially of crystallized pure carbon.

Lab-grown diamonds are made by replicating the way diamonds are created in nature, using high technology that reproduces the natural growth process of diamonds with no negative human toll.

They display the exact same chemical properties as natural diamonds, as well as their breathtaking beauty. They are physically, optically and chemically equal to those grown under the earth’s surface. The only difference between lab-grown and mined diamonds lies in their origin.

Many diamonds come from a very imbalanced supply chain, which raises ethical and environmental concerns. But here comes good news: you can revel in the diamonds’ magnetism with their twin sibling, lab-grown diamonds.

The use of lab-grown diamonds allows us to exclude the mining process in obtaining these precious stones, as the Kimberley Process standard also does for natural diamonds. Thanks to it, we avoid the social risks inherent in this process and align ourselves with the importance of creating a more ethical and sustainable supply chain.

Our diamonds are produced according to the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or the High Pressure - High Temperature (HPHT) technologies.

In the CVD process, a diamond seed (lab-grown diamond dust) is placed in a vacuum chamber that is heated at high temperature and filled with a carbon rich gas. This gas is ionized, letting the pure carbon slowly adhere to the diamond dust, atom by atom, layer by layer, which ultimately culminates in the creation of the diamond.

Regarding the HPHT technique, the diamond seed (also lab-grown diamond dust) is exposed to high pressure and temperature conditions. This seed melts leading to a larger diamond forming around, that is finally cooled to discover the created diamond.

We focus primarily on the quality of the cut, and therefore the beauty of the diamond. The more faceted the diamonds' cut, the brighter the sparkle will be. This happens thanks to the internal reflection of the light, from one mirror-like facet to another.

Every diamond in our collection is cut and polished by hand; a process that is most definitely an art. Our diamonds have a round brilliant cut. With 57 facets, the best angles are obtained so that the diamond shines with its maximum brilliance.

During the diamond's natural formation, the uncrystallized carbon creates invisible imperfections known as inclusions, which elevate their value and give uniqueness to each gem.

The clarity of diamonds measures their purity. In the international scale that evaluates it, our diamonds are categorized as SI1 standard (Small Inclusions). Our gemmologists work closely with our goldsmiths to ensure each diamond is set in the most flattering way, ensuring the beauty of each gem is fully realised.

Diamonds occur in a different variety of colors. The GIA scale (Gemological Institute of America) determines the color pureness of a diamond with a scale: from ice white, or D color, to the warmest Z tone.

We work with almost colorless diamonds categorized in grade H, a very sinless white tone that allows for a perfect and abundant refraction of light, adding a magnetic sparkle to each diamond.

Whilst reflective of size, a carat is basically the unit of measurement for the weight of a diamond. Being fairly accurate, one carat weighs 200 milligrams, or in other words, a fifth of a gram.

The designs in our fine jewelry collection are based on an understated glamour to accompany you on a daily basis. Finding that balance, we have elaborated pieces based on diamonds from 0,1 carats to 0,5 carat that allow you to explore what it means to be a woman today through each of these timeless jewels.
