ETHICAL DESIGN
Design inspiration
The universe of Atelier Michaud is inspired by the wild nature around us and our passion for expressing the joy of life and encapsulate emotions like confidence, love and the beauty of individuality through small pieces of wearable art.
Our core values
Ethical production
Handmade products
Unique & timeless design
Sustainable mission
We strongly believe in our own responsibility towards climate change
That is why all our jewellery is made using only bio gold, recycled sterling silver and certified precious stones, and our jewelry boxes, bags and displays are made from recycled/upcycled materials.
Sustainable production and CSR
All our jewellery is handmade in our atelier in Copenhagen, designed
and crafted by founder Pauline Michaud.
All jewellery is made from recycled precious metals with ethically
sourced stones. If using diamonds, the diamonds are conflict free,
traceable and certified.
Jewellery pieces are created in recycled sterling silver and gold
plated with 24k. Our products are stamped with 925 (sterling silver)
and LMC (L'atelier Michaud Copenhagen).
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is very important for A'telier
Michaud. The brand only supports and works with a manufactures that
takes excellent care of their employees, providing them health care
insurance and a fair salary well above minimum.
Social responsibility
In Atelier Michaud, we strongly believe in contributing to a better and greener future of the jewelry industry, and all our activity and interests, from producing to selling and after-caring, is carried out with a strong focus on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3 “Good Health and Well-Being” and 13 “Climate Action”.
Future production
To improve the technique and provide a wider range of products for
our customers our brand decided to outsource the production to
another country.
We did a wide research on factories which would fulfill our
expectations on ethical production conditions and quality of the
materials to not give up on any of our values. We decided to
co-operate with two small workshops from Thailand- Atelier
Quadrature and Pranda.
Thailand is known for high quality and precision when it comes to
jewelry, and they specialize in fine jewelry and stone settings.
Thai factories stand out from factories from other Asian countries
with a high level of working conditions and level of craftmanship.
