Our commitments to enlightened jewellry making
Our decision to renew our ties with the wisdom and expertise of the Enlightenment reflects our desire to craft fine jewellery goods that embody enlightened luxury – fine jewellery goods that take time and commitment. From machining our natural material to assembly our artisanal bracelet and necklace, through crafting our jewelry to bottling our fragrances, each of our steps has been carefully contemplated. There is an ongoing drive to reduce our ecological footprint and increase our social impact
OUR COMMITMENT
A French production
French manufacturing
Because our creations are part of the purest tradition of luxury jewellery, they are made to last and to be passed on to future generations. Our manufacturing processes guarantee quality that is as rare as it is exclusive, without unnecessary overproduction. Each model in our collections is produced by hand in limited series, and is therefore not always available immediately.
This allows our craftsmen to work our jewels with the greatest respect for natural processes. Our experts comply fully with Reach regulations. These international standards ensure that our products are manufactured in a way that respects nature and people. They regulate the use of substances used in material processing and prohibit those deemed harmful. They also guarantee that manufacturers are transparent about the essences and tools they have chosen to use.
By limiting the number of items we produce, we also have maximum control over the origin of our raw materials.
In this way, we ensure optimum traceability for each of our pieces.
To preserve biodiversity, the rare material we may use are governed by the Cites Convention. This convention, the text of which was adopted in 1973 by 80 states, ensures that international trade in wild animals and plants never threatens the survival of any species.
This traceability is also facilitated by our 100% French production, which has the added advantage of limiting our carbon emissions linked to the transport of our goods.
Finally, we strive to offer our creations the most responsible packaging possible. We do not use plastic in our packaging. Our packaging is made from FSC-certified paper. This ensures that they have been produced using wood from sustainably managed forests. In these nurseries, a tree is replanted for every one that is cut down. The use of the wood is then optimised to avoid any waste: the paper will be produced from scraps recovered during the cutting of large pieces of furniture.
OUR COMMITMENT
Craft at the heart of our commitments
By reviving the savoir-faire of the Enlightenment, we wanted to promote the excellence of French craftsmanship. We went in search of the country’s finest jewellery artists. Trained in the tradition of the Compagnons de Devoir, they have learned to master the work of natural gold and silver and perpetuate the art of craftmaking by passing on their knowledge from generation to generation.
This world-renowned training programme places the spirit of companionship at the heart of its identity. Travel and encounters play a central role in its teaching. Its apprentices take part in a Tour de France, during which they can perfect their techniques with experienced craftsmen.
By encouraging these artists to express their creativity through highly precise technical gestures, Maison Lancier is working to protect the skills that have made French craftsmanship so glorious. And because we are keen to ensure that this love of passing on skills continues, we have set up a workshop in the heart of our boutique on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
Every day, one of our craftsmen reveals to our visitors the secrets that make his or her work unique and help to make jewellery goods an art of living in their own right.
In our jewellery workshop, we take the time to fashion bracelet and necklace in refined curves of extraordinary quality. These designs will accompany you in everyday moments and on special occasions alike. While their inspiration differs from one collection to the next, they share a matchless elegance and expertise. Our artisans have crafted their finishes with meticulous care. Their exceptional jewellery will take on a patina over time to remain at your side throughout your life.
