Louise Jean is committed to the highest standards of jewellery production. We work closely with our Australian casting and gold supplier who is a family owned and operated business with over 55 years of metal and jewellery manufacturing experience. Our trusted jeweller and stone-setter meticulously finishes each and every one of our pieces, ensuring the utmost care and excellence from start to finish.
All of our pieces are designed to last with emphasis on timelessness and quality.
Our high-grade gold is supplied by one of Australian’s leading specialists of precious metals and jewellery production. All of their metals are alloyed in-house primarily from post-consumer and recycled gold, guaranteeing the quality of product, traceability of supply-chain and responsible practice.
Traceability and responsibility are integral to our brand, and these values are the backbone to our social and environmental standards when sourcing our stones. We work with respected diamond suppliers who are in compliance with the requirements of the System of Warranties, from the mine, to cutting, to market. They are sourced on the guarantee that the diamonds are conflict-free, originate from legitimate sources and are strictly in compliance with United Nations resolutions.
Our Sapphire and precious gemstones are sourced via a select few suppliers who work directly with family-run/artisans miners, where the purchase and sales of material directly benefits the communities in which they originate from. Our relationship with our suppliers is one we have built over many years and we are proud to support both their operations and passion for these gifts from the Earth.
For us, ethics goes far deeper than how we source and the materials we choose to work with. It goes beyond using key words and clever marketing.
For Louise Jean, sustainability is about transparency, progress and intention.
Fine jewellery is inherently the opposite of fast fashion and is one of the few products created with the future in mind. Gold and precious metals can be based down from generation to generation, to become future heirlooms that will be passed down with the same emotional and inherent value it was crafted with.
Our approach to the materials we work with in our designs is evolving and something we believe isn't one-size-fits-all. From lab created stones such as Cultured diamonds and Moissanites, to natural precious gems such as sapphires and diamonds - we believe in providing our customers with the education and choice on the stone that best suits their personal preferences, requirements and budget.
With the current climate condition, we recognise that the only way forward is to reduce our impact as a small, growing business. We pride ourselves in having full control of our supply-chain and a little-to-no waste business model with focus on recyclable metals/scraps and packaging. We are also proud to partner with shipping providers who offer the option to carbon offset all of the parcels we send to our customers. You can read more about this initiative here. We are also active contributors and partners of the Carbon Neutral Charitable Fund - a non-profit charity that off-set carbon emissions through planting native trees and shrubs throughout Australia.
