Recycled natural diamonds combine emotion, heritage value and reduced environmental impact
After pioneering the use of lab-grown diamonds - for their traceability, low environmental impact and technological prowess - the company is taking a new, even more ambitious step in 2025: limiting the production of new materials, and giving new life to existing ones.
After several years of research and meticulous work, Vever inaugurates its certified supply chain of recycled natural diamonds, respecting strict specifications:
- These diamonds come exclusively from old jewelry (more than five years old), delicately loosened, traced, controlled and sorted, before finding a second life in our jewelry creations.
- Their traceability is verified by SCS Global Services, an independent auditor, ensuring total transparency at every stage: the origin of the loosened jewelry, manufacturing dating back more than five years, and the origin of the diamonds guaranteed to be free from conflict zones.
Since October 1, all our creations have been set with recycled natural stones.
Recycled diamonds embody the very essence of jewelry-making, and carry a story within them: loosened, they are reborn in a new creation, destined to be handed down from generation to generation.

Mission-driven company
Maison Vever is the first company in the luxury sector to be designated as a mission-driven company. This status, created by the French government, is intended for "companies that wish to work for the common good by putting the resolution of social and environmental challenges at the heart of their model".
The company's objective is to offer a jewelry that respects mankind and nature and is exclusively made in France.
The company is a member of the Mission-Driven Companies Community (Communauté des Entreprises à Mission).
Made in France
The promotion of French know-how has been at the heart of the House's philosophy since 1821.
To bring its creations to life, Vever surrounds itself with the best French craftsmen of Place Vendôme. They handle with virtuosity the most modern as well as the most ancestral ways of jewelry making, such as enamel-à-jour.
The enameler the House calls upon, Sandrine Tessier, is Best Worker in France (Meilleur Ouvrier de France -MOF) and her workshop is labeled "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant".
Recycled gold
The world is full of gold on the surface: it is estimated that 80% of Earth's gold reserves have already been extracted.
Most of the gold extracted each year comes from industrial mines, which exploitation has a considerable impact on the environment: mining waste, soil pollution, greenhouse gas emissions.
This is why we have chosen recycled gold for our jewelry and high jewelry collections.
We work with RJC COC certified refiners. The gold they recycle comes from jewelry production waste, recycled jewelry, dental gold and electronic devices (phones, computers).
Our cases
For our jewel cases, we have opted for eco-design.
They are made from FSC-certified paper and cardboard, guaranteeing sustainable management of the forests from which they come. The satin that holds and protects the jewel is made of recycled polyester.
