MAZARIN PARIS
REASON TO BE & MISSION
MAZARIN is convinced that beauty and ethics can coexist harmoniously, that the oxymorons of yesterday and tomorrow can be reconciled by creating contemporary and iconic jewelry.
Hand in hand with nature
Commit to ethically sourcing out our materials
MAZARIN is committed to ensuring that jewelry remains eternal and works to preserve its promising future. As creators, gemologists, and jewelry historians, we are aware that natural resources are depleting, and unacceptable sourcing methods too often persist. This is why we use either, high-quality, environmental-friendly resources of our century such as lab-grown diamonds, or, already extracted resources such as recycled gold.
At MAZARIN, we believe that jewelry can and must become more ethical and conscious of its impact if the dream has to live on to eternity. And this starts here, right now, with our creations.
Gold is a material that can be recycled infinitely without any of its qualities deteriorating. The MAZARIN collections use exclusively recycled gold, from objects previously appraised and then melted into pure 24-carat gold ingots. This choice contributes to taking action to protect the planet...

COMMITTING TO PROMOTE A HUMANISTIC KNOW-HOW CELEBRATING YESTERDAY'S AND TOMORROW'S KNOWLEDGE
[1] OUR ETHOS
Ethics reflect the values and convictions of a Maison. They are expressed through distinctive choices on environmental, social, and societal issues that we call our ethos.
At MAZARIN, we have chosen to focus on a selection of materials that reflect our environmental convictions, as well as issues of gender equality, a non-normative vision of genders reflected in our jewelry, and principles of fair remuneration throughout the production chain. We are committed to making positive impacts on communities through our jewelry and aligning our actions with our beliefs.
[2] A management duo open to diversity and cultures
Louise de Rothschild and Keagan Ramsamy met while joining the auction house Pierre Bergé & Associés. While they share a passion for gemmology and the history of jewelry, their friendly bond thrives on their complementary strengths.
Starting with their respective cultures, oscillating between West and East in a fruitful exchange, the very balance that has led them to create MAZARIN.
[3] Awareness of the world and our role from the conception to the realization of our jewelry
The design of MAZARIN jewelry is inspired by a quest for meaning. It is the reason why we have chosen the elephant as totem.
Symbolizing strength and temperance in the West, power and authority in Africa, knowledge and wisdom in Hindu mythology, and strength and intelligence in China, the elephant resonates across all cultures.
Paying tribute to the animal’s embodiment of power and fragility, MAZARIN has made the elephant its totem. MAZARIN donates 10% of the sales from the LUCKY ELEPHANT collection and MEMORY CHARM BRACELETS to the Big Life Foundation. This non-profit organization, in partnership with local communities, works to preserve the ecosystem of 160,000 hectares of wilderness in East Africa.
MAZARIN selects its partners who craft its jewelry collections based on excellence and ensuring fair compensation criteria. At it’s level, MAZARIN promotes inclusive practices that encourage accessibility and reward merit without gender discrimination.
[4] GENDERLESS JEWELRY
MAZARIN's creations and communication reflect the belief that beauty is not defined by gender. Each of our jewelry pieces is designed to be an expression of self, whether one identifies as male, female, or non-binary. Our communication mirrors this belief, celebrating jewelry that can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender, embracing a fluid and inclusive approach to design and style.
[5] OUR EXCELLENT CRAFTSMANSHIP
Whether it's our rings, necklaces, cuffs, or earrings, our MAZARIN collections come to life two steps away from Place Vendôme, within our workshops. From drawings to prototypes, each piece undergoes meticulous goldwork (casting, sculpting, polishing, sandblasting...) and then setting, chosen specifically for each creation: heart-setting where the diamond is held in tension by the gold, claw setting to enhance the brilliance of a solitaire, or pavé setting to illuminate a surface.
MAZARIN promotes Made in France and transparency throughout its production line. Given that 95% of diamonds are cut in India, MAZARIN partners with Indian synthetic diamond manufacturers who hold the highest level of certification.
HAND IN HAND TO GUIDE YOUR CHOICES
COMMITTED TO ENCOURAGE YOUR ENLIGHTENED CHOICES
There is no singular definition of ethical jewelry, as the ethos of a Maison are specific and depend on several aspects ranging from its reason to be and act to the environmental, social, and societal impacts that it aims to prioritize during the design, creation, and production phases of its pieces.
However, certain certifications offer guarantee of responsible environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) considerations among suppliers, certifications which we integrate into our responsible sourcing strategy.
HAND IN HAND FOR MEANINGFUL JEWELRY
COMMITTED TO GIVING JEWELRY A LITTLE EXTRA SOUL
Our ethos strive form five major commitments that form the pillars of our responsible sourcing strategy.
We commit to prioritizing materials that have already been extracted by recycling or upcycling them, in order to reduce the environmental impact of our sourcing. For example, we support the use of gold and gemstones sourced from certified ethical origins.
We aim to reduce our environmental footprint by prioritizing innovative materials designed to minimize waste and preserve natural resources. For instance, we support the use of lab-grown diamonds, which provide a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditionally mined diamonds.
We value local skills and craftsmanship by prioritizing workshops in France and local manufacturers in our supply chains. This allows us to support local communities while minimizing carbon emissions associated with transportation.
We are committed to ensuring the traceability of our raw materials from extraction to final use. We work closely with our suppliers to guarantee ethical working conditions and to prevent any form of exploitation or forced labor.
We are committed to maintaining strict quality standards for all our raw materials. This includes rigorous quality testing to ensure the authenticity, durability, and safety of the materials used. MAZARIN transcends boundaries, genders, and norms to offer ethically meaningful jewelry with conviction in a constantly evolving world. We invite everyone to join our journey, where emotion, aesthetics, and ethics intertwine to create a true jewelry experience.
