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.

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.
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. 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.

A diamond grown in a laboratory has the same chemical, physical and optical properties as a mined diamond and, therefore, the same qualities of clarity and color. The stones selected by MAZARIN are chosen from among the best combinations of the four criteria that determine the value of a diamond, called the 4 Cs: its color (color), its purity (clarity), its size (cut) and its weight in carats. .
the colourThe whiter a diamond, the more rare and therefore valuable it is. The international grading scale starts at D to qualify the purest diamond and follows the alphabetical order up to Z for the most colored diamond. The diamonds in the MAZARIN collections essentially belong to categories D, E and F.
the purityIt is determined by the number, size, nature and position of the imperfections which, inside or on the surface of the stone, act on the passage of light. The international system measures it in six main categories: FL (no defect), IF (no visible defect), VVS (very very small inclusions), VS (very small inclusions), SI (small inclusions) and I (visible inclusions on the outside). naked eye). The diamonds in the Mazarin collections essentially belong to the VVS categories.
the sizeIt is chosen in such a way as to increase the brilliance of the stone tenfold by cutting each facet with extreme precision. For each diamond, Mazarin looks for the cut whose proportions, symmetry and polish will give it the most brilliance, favoring in particular pear, emerald and brilliant cuts.
the caratIt is the unit of measurement of the diamond, or 0.2 grams for 1 carat. The value of the stone varies according to its caratage, but also its rarity.

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.
