Mazarin collections exclusively use recycled gold, from previously appraised objects and then melted into 24 -carat pure gold bars. This choice contributes to acting for the protection of the planet. Indeed, it limits gold extractions whose ecological impact is considerable and therefore to fight their particularly harmful consequences for the environment and biodiversity.

Mazarin collections exclusively use diamonds developed in the laboratory. With the naked eye or under the microscope, nothing distinguishes them from mine diamonds: they strictly have the same properties. Only their origin differs: a synthetic diamond comes from a complex technological process reproducing the prodigious temperatures and pressures which, within the earth and billions of years ago, gave birth to mine diamonds.

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 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.

It 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.

It 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.

It 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 adjusts the following jewelry creations: the cuff and the paved elephant necklace, the bracelet and the Eboris necklace. This adjustment provides optimal comfort to the person who will carry it, while respecting the specifics of the jewel.
