    upcycling

     
    Upcycling, or overcycling or “recycling from above”.
    Action of transforming a product to give it a second life .
    The main difference between recycling and upcycling is the design of the finished product. Indeed, when we recycle, we destroy the material to rebuild it again. With upcycling, it's the opposite. We take an object as it exists and revalue it, without spending additional energy to deconstruct the available material.
    Unique models & limited series

    We hunt for old or no longer used jewelry and objects from partner second-hand dealers and individuals. The goal: to design sculptural jewelry with rhythmic notes. (unique creation or in small series). According to the principle of the circular economy, our raw material is existing, we offer it a second life through our contemporary creations.

    Precious materials

    At Anicet, we love sustainable creations. We therefore only work with certified 925/1000 silver, vermeil, 9 carat gold, and antique gold plating .

    The stones selected are semi-precious or precious stones .

    We select our old jewelry in Europe and mainly in France for their unique character and the poetry of their form.

    Transparency & traceability

    A gold ring produces 20 tons of highly toxic waste .

    To preserve our resources, we have chosen to rework old jewelry. Our private and professional partners are located in France. We strive to provide as much information as possible on the traceability of the pieces.

    Despite our care and cleaning of the pieces, some jewelry may have imperfections that reflect the life of the pieces.
