OUR COMMITMENTS
JEWELRY THAT HAS NOTHING TO HIDE
More than a jewel
A Louise Damas jewel is a unique design that lasts over time and can be passed on. More than just accessories, our jewels have a story to tell: that of a handcrafted production, made in France, that places the human being at the core of its projects. And because transparency is one of our most precious values, we are revealing everything to you: the materials we use, where they come from, how our workshop operates, but also our goals for the future.
Let’s dive in.
MADE WITH LOVE… AND COMMITMENT
BEHIND THE SCENES
Carefully chosen materials
At Louise Damas, we do not compromise on quality: when creating our collections, our raw materials are carefully selected, clean and safe for your health. Each of them is controlled and certified and we make sure that each supplier respects the working conditions of its employees.
In order to encourage short circuit production, we work mostly with materials from the European Union.
However, our jewelry can sometimes require specific materials that are not found in Europe. This is the case with the freshwater pearls in our Lise and Ondine collections, which come from Indonesia.
To take it a step further, the tin we use is 100% recycled and all offcuts and defective jewelry are remelted to minimize waste. Also, whenever possible, we use materials from dead stocks, such as the little glass hearts from our Niki collection.
A trustworthy workshop
The Parisian workshop we have been working with since the beginning is audited and certified REACH and ISO: it guarantees the traceability of materials, the supervision of manufacturing processes as well as the respect of a list of societal and environmental commitments.
The workshop also operates in a closed circuit: 100% of wastewater is treated and reused and no substance is released into nature.
TO GO FURTHER
A sustainable transport
For the transportation of our raw materials, we use road transport, which is less polluting and has lower carbon emissions.
Regarding the delivery of our jewelry, we have set up a bike courier service for all of our Parisian orders.
A caring service
Louise loves to create jewels that last a lifetime, made to be worn and passed on. When you wear a piece of jewelry every day for years, it can get damaged or lose its shine. To remedy these little issues, we restore and repair them for you, even years later!
