TRANSMISSION, KNOW-HOW, COLOUR
BY ALEXANDRA GUYARD-CLÉMENT, FOUNDER OF THE HOUSE
From the very beginning of the creation of A.GUYARD, the aim was to create jewelry objects that would be passed down from one generation to the next.
Transmission is a core value of A.GUYARD. To embody this, I naturally chose to work with the artisans of the Place Vendôme workshops who perpetuate the exceptional know-how of French jewelry art.
Together, we work every day to create pieces designed down to the smallest detail.
MATERIAL SELECTION
Designed to last and be passed down, A.GUYARD jewelry objects are made of noble, precious and durable materials.
NATURAL STONES
As an expert-gemologist, I source each stone used in my creations, regardless of size, without compromising on quality or color. The diamonds set in the Maison's jewelry are sourced from ethical suppliers with responsible practices and are certified according to the Kimberley Process, guaranteeing that the diamond trade does not contribute to the financing of rebel movements and armed conflicts.
18-CARAT RECYCLED GOLD
The gold refining is entrusted to a refiner committed to more responsible French production, guaranteeing the origin and traceability of precious metals. By choosing 18-carat recycled gold, we opt for reuse rather than extraction and commit to an increasingly responsible approach every day.
OUR WORKSHOPS
We have always been committed to working with artisans who are passionate about passing on the traditions of French jewelry making. Every piece of jewelry from the house is handcrafted in our RJC* certified partner Atelier, renowned for their excellence.
It is also very important for us to design responsible pieces, resolutely focused on the future. By choosing to produce in Paris, a stone's throw from Place Vendôme, we minimize our carbon footprint.
To maintain the same level of attention to detail and quality, we have opted for a long timeframe, a dimension we believe is necessary to create pieces of excellence. Each piece of jewelry is made to order and takes 4 to 6 weeks to produce.
OUR COMMITMENTS
Bringing each creation to life requires the expertise of five different trades. By choosing French craftsmanship, we are committed to delivering remarkable and durable pieces with a timeless appeal.
From design to packaging, we control every step of the manufacturing process, which allows us to manage our costs with great agility and offer you the best of French jewelry quality at a fair price.
In the same vein, our marketing budget is controlled and we rely on your satisfaction and word of mouth to continue to grow our vision and commitments.
We work every day to offer you jewelry items where expertise is put at the service of your most beautiful testimonials.
