Chaumet commits to 100% traceable gold with launch of Bee de Chaumet pendant made entirely from responsibly-sourced gold

Chaumet has taken a new step in its commitments to exemplary environmental responsibility with the launch of an emblematic new creation, a Bee de Chaumet pendant made from 100% responsibly-sourced gold that is traceable from mine to the final jewelry piece.

The pendant illustrates Chaumet’s desire to drive enhancements to ethical jewelry standards, combining excellence, transparency and sustainability.  

Nature has been at the heart of Chaumet’s identity since its founding more than 240 years ago. The Maison is a member of the  Responsible Jewellery Council and conforms to the Kimberley process, and actively contributes to the momentum of the LVMH Group’s LIFE 360 environmental program through a host of concrete initiatives. This commitment has been further deepened through its recent joining of the Swiss Better Gold Association, which supports artisanal mines, helping encourage a transformation to more responsible practices in the sector.  

Chaumet is already a partner of Reforest’Action and works to minimize its greenhouse gas emissions and the impact of its packaging. Now the jeweler is going even further by guaranteeing total traceability of the gold used in the new pendant creation. Each step in the gold sourcing process is 100% verified against strict specifications to ensure that the gold comes from carefully selected sources. The pendant, embellished with a bee motif, as well as the chain, clasp and rings are made from 100% traceable gold derived from sustainable sources.  

This significant step towards more ethical jewelry concretely advances Chaumet’s goal of progressively rolling out this principle across all its jewelry and High Jewelry collections.
