THE MAISON MAZARIN

THE MAISON MAZARIN

Liberty, authenticity, harmony: for MAZARIN, these three basic values take on their full meaning thanks to a daring creative approach, favouring resources that are as precious as they are respectful towards the planet.  Our values embodied in collections in which each gem combines a dream with elegance and expertise, as part of the great jewellery tradition. Mazarin owes its name to an incredible collection of 18 exceptional diamonds assembled in the 17th century by Cardinal Mazarin, a great lover of art and godfather and later chief minister to Louis XIV.

OUR VISION

For Mazarin, eternity is a belief in jewellery’s promise today, and a pledge to help pioneer and preserve its future. As creators, gemologists and jewellery historians, we know that natural resources are dramatically dwindling, and too many sourcing methods remain unacceptable. It’s why we select only precious and environmentally respectful 21st century resources: lab-grown diamonds and recycled gold. We believe that jewellery can and must become more ethical if it is to carry on the dream to eternity. And it starts here, in this with moment, with our creations. Eternity starts now.

OUR TOTEM, THE ELEPHANT

OUR TOTEM, THE ELEPHANT

A symbol of power and of temperance in the West, of strength and power in Africa, of knowledge and wisdom in Hindu mythology, and of vigour and intelligence in China, the elephant is present in all cultures. In all its potency and fragility, MAZARIN has made the elephant our totem.

A symbol of power and of temperance in the West, of strength and power in Africa, of knowledge and wisdom in Hindu mythology, and of vigour and intelligence in China, the elephant is present in all cultures.

MAZARIN will donate 10% of the sale of each LUCKY CHARM ELEPHANT BRACELET to the Big Life Foundation, a non-profit organization that,
In partnership with local communities, works to preserve the ecosystem of 160,000 hectares of wild land in East Africa.

In all its potency and fragility, MAZARIN has made the elephant our totem.


The founders

Louise de Rothschild and Keagan Ramsamy met when they joined the Pierre Bergé & Associés auction house. Sharing a passion for gemmology and the history of jewellery, their bond as friends was also nurtured by their complementary natures and backgrounds – including their respective cultures, between the West and the East, which creates balance in their fruitful exchanges. The very point that led them to found Mazarin.

RESPONSIBLE GOLD

RESPONSIBLE GOLD

MAZARIN’s collections use only recycled gold, from previously appraised objects, which is then melted down into pure gold ingots of 24 carats. This choice contributes actively to the protection of the planet. This is because it means limiting gold mining, which has a great ecological impact, thus acting against its consequences, which are particularly harmful for the environment and for biodiversity.

our diamonds

MAZARIN’s collections use only laboratory-grown diamonds. To the naked eye, or under a microscope, nothing distinguishes them from mined diamonds: they have strictly the same properties.

To the naked eye, or under a microscope, nothing distinguishes them from mined diamonds: they have strictly the same properties. The sole difference is their origin: a lab-grown diamond comes from a complex technological process reproducing the extreme temperatures and pressures which, tens of millions of years ago, gave birth to mined diamonds in the midst of the Earth.

French Savoir-Faire

French Savoir-Faire

MAZARIN’s collections come to life near the Place Vendôme, at the heart of the Maison’s workshops. Designs and prototypes precede all gold work (casting, sculpting, polishing, sandblasting). The final gesture is gem-setting, selected according to each creation: from masse-set “en bec d’aigle” to lodge a diamond in the folds of sculpted gold, to claw-set to heighten the flames of a solitaire and pave-set to illuminate the surface.
