Ethics and environmental sustainability
At ODACE we use traceable and responsible materials.
The choice of laboratory grown diamond
We exclusively use lab grown diamonds. Zero mining, zero conflict, zero extraction . No doubt, we know where our diamonds come from, and in what conditions they were created. This lab grown diamond is proof that more ethical and responsible jewelry can be built thanks to human and technological progress, while preserving our ancestral artisanal know-how. This fascinating evolution today offers jewelry a new lease of life and allows it to be part of the era of time.
The choice of recycled gold
We started from an observation: according to the World Gold Council, humanity has already extracted nearly 80% of the gold present underground. Furthermore, gold mining causes irreparable damage to the planet and populations. The use of highly toxic cyanide and mercury contaminates soil and groundwater forever. Gold mining requires colossal quantities of water. On an ethical level, working conditions in mines, exposure to toxic vapors, smuggling, are all alarming and disturbing faults but unfortunately very real.
But because we are great optimists and we prefer to see the glass half full rather than half empty, we are happy about one thing: gold is indestructible and has the capacity to be recycled infinitely . At ODACE, we therefore choose to recycle rather than extract. Our COC certified recycled gold comes from old jewelry and electronic components. Thus, we give new life to this unearthed, melted and transformed gold, through our 18-carat gold jewelry that is as desirable as it is ethical and responsible.boratoire. Zero mining, zero conflict, zero extraction . No doubt, we know where our diamonds come from, and in what conditions they were created. This lab-grown diamond is proof that more ethical and responsible jewelry can be built thanks to human and technological progress, while preserving our ancestral artisanal know-how. This fascinating evolution today offers jewelry a new lease of life and allows it to be part of the era of time.
The excellence of
Made in France
In France we are lucky to have exceptional artisanal craftsmanship. For this reason we want to preserve and promote these arts that are so unique and valuable. From the jewel to the box, everything is hand-made in France, by artisan experts, with passion and care for details. In order to share this passionate work, we have unveiled each step concerning the creation of our jewelry and bring you behind the scenes of our workshop.
The concern for transparency
Our ambition is to renew this industry and bring it into line with the times.
Magical, the jewelry universe makes us dream with its beauty and outstanding know-how. Yet when we start to ask ourselves where the gems and metals come from, their extracting conditions, and traceability, we are quickly confronted with a huge lack of transparency. Even if there have been improvements, jewelry is often not a subject linked to responsible consumption. Opacity, lack of ethical and responsible efforts, our ambition is to renew this industry and engrave it in the era of time - a modern era, focused on ethical work practices and a bright future for our planet.
To be transparent and because we have nothing to hide, ODACE tells you everything about where our materials come from and the fact that they are 100% made in France. Our diamonds are lab-grown, which allows us to guarantee traceability and fair working conditions. Our certified COC gold comes from old european jewelry and electrical components which allows us to recycle instead of extract. Our jewelry and boxes are hand-made in french workshops by passionate men and women. ODACE is proud to work in full transparency with local and trustful partners.
Fair prices
We source all of our diamonds directly from the laboratories, significantly reducing the number of intermediates between the diamond and the jewelry atelier : from 0 to 1 with us compared to 10 to 15 for a mined diamond. Thus, we reduce excessive intermediate margins that make the diamonds price rocket and give back its fair value. Everyone is happy because our jewelry is sold at its fair value without having to hinder the quality and the 100% made in France.
