TAKING CARE

PRECIOUS METALS ARE ORGANIC MATERIALS, THEY COME FROM THE EARTH AND ARE REFINED AND WORKED BY HAND USING OLD TECHNIQUES. OVER TIME, JEWELRY CAN DEVELOP A NATURAL PATINA: A DARK AND DAPPLED GLOW THAT MANIFESTS ON THE SURFACE. THIS PATINA IS A UNIQUE CHARACTERISTIC THAT YOUR JEWELRY TAKES ON AS IT AGES.

OXIDIZATION, STAIN AND MATTE FINISHES ARE SPECIAL SURFACE TREATMENTS THAT DO NOT PENETRATE THE METAL ITSELF. WITH REGULAR WEAR, MATTE AND SATIN FINISHES WILL BURNISH AND OXIDIZATION WILL FADE, BUT CAN ALWAYS BE REAPPLIED. IT IS NOT A FLAW BUT A NATURAL RESPONSE. AS SUCH, THESE PIECES SHOULD NOT BE BUFFED VIGOROUSLY WITH YOUR POLISHING CLOTH AS THIS WILL SIMULATE THE NATURAL WEARING OF THE TREATMENT.

JEWELRY SHOULD NOT BE WORN IN THE SHOWER OR SWIMMING POOL. A SPLASH OF WATER WILL NOT HARM YOUR PIECE BUT DO NOT LET IT COME INTO CONTACT WITH HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS SUCH AS DETERGENTS, BLEACHES, TOOTHPASTE OR CHLORINE. REMOVE YOUR JEWELRY WHILE CLEANING TO PREVENT EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS AS WELL AS DAMAGES.

ALWAYS STORE YOUR JEWELRY IN A COOL, DRY, SAFE PLACE SUCH AS THE BOX IT CAME IN; AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT, STEAM AND HUMIDITY. AVOID TO SCRATCH OR DROP YOUR JEWELRY.

FOR FURTHER INQUIRIES ON THE BEST CARE PRACTICES FOR YOUR JEWELRY, DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US. CLEAN YOUR JEWELRY WITH THE SOFT CLOTH INCLUDED IN YOUR ORDER.

FOR THE STONES, AVOID SCRATCHING, KNOCKING, OR DROPPING YOUR JEWEL. DIAMONDS AND STONES CAN BREAK, CRACK, AND CHIP IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. AVOID CONTACT WITH WATER, THE INFILTRATION OF THE WATER UNDER THE STONE CAN CAUSE FOGGINESS AND A LIMESTONE DEPOSIT.

SIZE

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US VIA E-MAIL IF YOU WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE IN SELECTING A SIZE.

FOR RING SIZES WE SUGGEST YOU TO VISIT A LOCAL JEWELER TO BE MEASURED. WE WORK WITH THE FRENCH RING SIZES SYSTEM.

THE SIZE OF THE BRACELETS AND BANGLES DEPENDS TO THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF YOUR WRIST. OUR BRACELET SIZES DEPEND ON THE TIGHT MEASUREMENT OF YOUR WRIST.

EARRINGS AND PENDANTS ARE FIXED SIZE, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS. PLEASE CONTACT US BEFOREHAND TO CONFIRM THE FEASIBILITY.

THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSABLE TO THE CHOICE OF THE RING, BRACELET, OR ANY CUSTOM SIZE. WE ARE NOT RESPONSABLE FOR DETERMINING YOUR RING AND BRACELET SIZE, AS EACH CUSTOMER HAVE THEIR OWN PREFERENCES TO THE WAY A JEWEL SHOULD FIT.

HALLMARKS

DUE TO THE PRECIOUS METALS USED FOR THE CREATIONS, ALL JEWELRY FROM ANTOINE LABOUREL WEARS THE FOLLOWING HALLMARKS:

THE RHOMBUS IS A SIGNATURE, AS MASTER CRAFTSMAN. THIS IS A COMBINATION OF THE MAKER INITIALS WITH A PERSONAL SYMBOL;
925 CERTIFYING THE PURITY OF THE PRECIOUS METAL;
THE LOGO OF ANTOINE LABOUREL;
FOR ITEMS OVER 30 GRAMS, THE STATE STAMP CERTIFYING THE QUALITY OF THE PRECIOUS METAL: MINERVA’S HEAD FOR SILVER.

ALL THE PIECES ARE MADE IN FRANCE AND ARE LEGALLY CERTIFIED BY THE CUSTOMS. HERE ARE THE LEGAL TRADEMARKS OF THE FRENCH CUSTOMS:

CERTIFICATIONS

GREY AND BLACK DIAMONDS THAT WE USE ARE SOURCED FROM TRUSTED SUPPLIERS. THESE STONES ARE CERTIFIED CONFLICT-FREE AND COMPLY WITH THE KIMBERLEY PROCESS, WHICH ENSURES THEY ARE NOT INVOLVED IN OR FUNDING ANY CONFLICT ZONES. FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY, LABORATORY CERTIFICATES HAVE BEEN OBTAINED FOR CERTAIN BATCHES OF OUR PRECIOUS STONES.

STONES UNDER 0.8 CARATS ARE NOT INDIVIDUALLY CERTIFIED. HOWEVER, ALL OUR STONES, REGARDLESS OF SIZE, ARE SELECTED WITH THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF QUALITY AND ETHICAL SOURCING IN MIND.

OUR SILVER IS EXCLUSIVELY SOURCED FROM REPUTABLE FRENCH REFINERIES AND FOUNDRIES. WE WORK WITH SUPPLIERS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO ETHICAL PRACTICES, AND OUR SOURCING PARTNERS ADHERE TO THE RESPONSIBLE JEWELLERY COUNCIL (RJC) STANDARDS. THIS ENSURES THAT THE SILVER WE USE COMES FROM COMPANIES WITH A STRONG COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE SOURCING, ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, AND ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

OUR FIGHT FOR REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IS REALLY IMPORTANT, IT’S MAINLY WHY WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR CUSTOMERS.

ANTOINE LABOUREL IS TRYING TO PRESENT JEWELRY WORKS FROM RECYCLED SILVER WITH ETHICALLY SOURCED OR RE-PURPOSED PRECIOUS STONES.

ALL OUR JEWELRY IS FULLY CRAFTED IN FRANCE USING RECYCLED STERLING SILVER, WITH A MINIMUM OF 80% RECYCLED CONTENT FOR LW AND RP PIECES AND AT LEAST 30% FOR HC PIECES, SOURCED RESPONSIBLY FROM TRUSTED SUPPLIERS.

OUR PACKAGING IS CAREFULLY DESIGNED TO BE SUSTAINABLE AND REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT. WE STRIVE TO USE MATERIALS THAT ARE BOTH FUNCTIONAL AND RESPONSIBLE, AVOIDING PLASTIC AND EXCESSIVE WASTE.

WE DO NOT ADHERE TO THE SEASONAL CONSTRAINTS OF FAST FASHION, NOR ADVOCATE THE WASTEFUL CONSUMPTION IT FUELS. OUR PIECES ARE CAREFULLY SELECTED WITH LONGEVITY IN MIND. WE ARE PROPOSING NEW PIECES WHEN WE WANT, WITHOUT ANY CONSTRAINTS.

WE REFUSE MASS PRODUCTION, PREFERRING BEING FOCUSED ON OUR OWN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH BEYOND ALL THE TENDENCIES.
