Imagine a gold drop adorned with 7 diamonds... Its the Lune collection, whose glow mixes finess and simplicity. A matching set: ring, necklace, bracelet and stud earrings, all enhanced by diamonds. Then, a solitary diamond... You can sense the If ring, ideal as a discreete engagement ring. A band ring adorned with a daimond paving, and it's the Héra ring you are dreaming of: a wedding ring of plain purity. Finest creation, the Elfe ring reveals a fine gold line enhanced by six diamonds. Five diamonds elegantly arranged on a gold string, it's the Olympe ring you envy, a design of elegant sobriety. As for our Luz ring, it poetically embraces 5 diamonds in an organic design.
Prioritizing traceability, and ethical and environmental responsibility, our craftsman selects the diamonds of our creations from diamond dealers in Anvers, in Belgium. They are certified by the Kimberley Process, also know as the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS). This international agreement garantees conflict-free certified diamonds, and allows to put an end to the trade of conflict diamonds.
The 18k gold comes from French gold refiners labeled Responsible Jewellery Council. This label is awarded after auditing led on their gold supply, certified conflict-free. These refiners also adopt a social and environmental code of conduct on extracting conditions, and waste reprocessing from extraction.
From an etymological point of view, the word diamond takes its origins from two terms: diamas in Latin, and adamas in Ancient Greek, evoking a hard and immutable element.

On which occasion should you offer a diamond?
Or rather, do you need an occasion to offer (yourself) a diamond? Diamonds are often the go-to gem for a wedding ring. Highly resistant, it symbolizes purity and matches easily with any other colored precious or semi-precious stones. It's the perfect stone for a jewel you wish to wear daily. Whether for an important birthday, for an affectionate attention, a birth gift or a wedding anniversary, or even to celebrate a success, a wedding ring, an engagement ring or a PACS ring, there are plenty of occasions!
Origin of our gold and our diamonds
In our shop-workshop located in the rue de Marseille in Paris, we design all our creations, and entrust a Parisian fine jewellry craftsman, trusted partner, for their making, located in the Parisian Marais. We consequently favor a short making process and a local know-how, while minimizing our carbon footprint.

Diamonds, etymology and definition
There are 4 precious stones, among which diamonds, but also, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. We distinguish precious stones from semi-precious stones, also called gems. Among the quartet of precious stones, the diamond is the only one made of pure crystallized carbon.
From the first diamonds to modern fine jewelry
What's a diamond?
Historically, the very first diamonds were used to decorate religious objects in India, more than 4 000 years ago! Later on, in Ancient Greece, diamonds were considered as precious, since they symbolized teardrops of the gods. India was during a long time the first diamond-exporting country, until the first quarter of the 18th century, when new diamond deposits were discovered in South America. The Enlightenment allows the triumph of fine jewellry, among the higher classes and the nobility. Since the sucess of diamond exploration in Cape Town, in South Africa, fine jewellry has conquered the heart of every woman and stands side by side with fashion jewelry.

The 4 C
If you have ever had an interest in diamonds, you probably already know about the 4C characterizing them. These four criteria were established in 1931, during the creation of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) to universally determine the features of a diamond: Carat, Color, Clarity and Cut.
How is a dimaond made?
Diamonds originate from the bowels of the Earth! Resulting of a natural several million year long process, the formation of a natural diamond requires several specific conditions. A temperature of about 1 300°C and a pression approaching 70 tons per cm3 allow its formation in the Earth's mantle, at around 200 km deep. The variation of these conditions influence the quality, hence the 4Cs of diamonds. They are led to the Earth's surface by volcanic eruptions and thanks to the presence of kimberlite.
