In line with the French reputation for exceptional art, fashion, wine, cuisine, the list is endless, French jewelry is equally famous for its consistent elegance, creativity and production quality throughout the world.
The Joaillerie de France label provides customers with a quality warranty and therefore helps on a larger scale the image of French jewelry making.
Identified by its unique hallmark, Label Joaillerie de France is a warranty from the maker to the client on the jewel origin and quality.
Joaillerie de France seal is a clear and unique signature that guarantees the origins and conditions of making that jewel, and which objective is to promote worldwide French know-how.
The label represents France surrounding the label name, the percentage of precious metal, as well as the seal of the artisan, and his signature.
Each jewel is stamped with a Title hallmark delivered under French customs, which represents and identifies the percentage of pure precious metal used in one jewel. Two different title hallmarks are used:
The head of an eagle for gold 750 thousandths (18 carats)
The head of a dog for platinum to 950 thousandths.
The stamp of the master (or punch liability) is the signature of the craftsman jeweller.
The Joaillerie de France hallmark intiative was approved by the government and a convention was signed with the customs and indirect rights department on April 6th, 2006.
Stamping the hallmark Joaillerie de France on a jewel guarantees it has been manufactured, crimped, and polished in France in the state of the art respect. These excellence and quality criteria are those which make French Joaillerie unique.
Regarding legal and conventional concerns, the hallmark warrants that a jewel has been entirely designed and styled in France, and guarantees decent work conditions and a high respect for legal and environmental concerns.
The Joaillerie de France label is opened to any artisan or jewelry maker. Each candidate will go through and audit with an independent company, CETEHOR, and then has to be approved by a committee of professionals.
