L’or du Monde, the pioneering jeweler in the use of recycled gold, invited me to a lecture given by Aurore Stéphant, expert mining geologist and co-founder of the association Systext. An apocalyptic account of the ecological impact of gold mining.

Thanks to the purchase of rough stones, jewelers can customize the size of their most beautiful gems. It is also one solution to the challenge of traceability.

The last Museum Connection trade fair showcased the extraordinary innovations setting the museum world alight. It’s time to apply some of that craziness to jewelry.

One figure keeps coming up in studies on the global jewelry market: only 20% of the necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings sold in the world are branded – that is. they bear a famous logo while the remaining 80% is made up of ordinary, non-branded jewelry.

Jewelry purchases are set to be increasingly influenced by considerations such as the preservation of the environment, commitments to equal opportunities, gender parity and so on and so forth. Consequently, by 2025, companies’ social responsibility will impact them between 20 and 30%. That means $110 billion. Three times more than in 2019!
