CVM ILLE JEWELLERY is a genderless, sustainable and vegan jewellery brand.

Of ancient inspiration, and on the border between craft objects and fashion accessory, these are original and conscious pieces of high quality, fully made by hand in Paris.

In order to create in a emancipation from gender binarity, the MARIVS collection has been designed without stereotypes, and from sketches made by hand.

This allows us to rethink the traditional way of wearing jewels, to offer high-quality pieces for all genders. Moreover, the inclusiveness in the pieces of the MARIVS collection allows a tailored order system. Any piece can thus be modified on demand, which is a promise of our collection.

We are also working locally in a closed circuit in Paris, with skilled craftsmen·women.

This helps us to be in a designing and responsible consumption approach, respectful of the environment, humans and animals.

[FAQ]

1)      In what way is it sustainable ?

All of our pieces are fully handcrafted.

Each of them are in brass, gold or silver recycled all recycled from production scraps (makers, workshops, jewellers...), transformed in a closed circuit, then are 24-carat gold-gilded or gold-plated, also from recycling.

The MARIVS collection has 20 timeless pieces (including 3 evening pieces), thought to be anti-season. All our jewels are made to last in time, but can be repaired or replated at any time by us if needed.

All our packagings are composed of upcycled materials, an homemade engraved pellet, a sewn brown linen pouch, a folded carboard box with recycled cotton link, as well as homemade dried flowers upcycled from our shootings. During these shootings : the make-up used is vegan and cruelty-free, all our models wear second-hand & vintage clothes, and all our furnitures and objects used for our shootings are carefully found by us.

CVM ILLE is also in partnership with an innovative local startup specialised in the recovery of pollutants and metals contained in industrial effluents, which allow us to minimize our impact against water pollution, often industrial. Moreover, the electroplating workshop with which we work is equipped with a new generation of patented fibers for the water and air depollution as well as the complete recycling of metal traces in it, registering in accordance with the concept of “Factory of the future”. These regenerable sorbent materials allow us to go beyond the respect of the most stringent standards for the discharge of industrial wastewater, and to be in compliance with the future European and World regulations of Zero Liquid Rejection.

[FAQ]

2)      In what way is it vegan ?

The models and prototypes are made with plaster from the first sketches made by hand. CVM ILLE is also using the ancient technique of lost-wax casting, vegan wax, for its casts, instead of the traditional beeswax.

Beeswax is secreted by honey bees. They use it to build the combs of their hive to store honey, pollen and their brood. To harvest the wax, like honey, it is necessary to drive the bees from their hives. The most used technique is to smoke the hive. The bees are intoxicated or crushed and the queens have their wings clipped to make sure they stay in the hive. CVM ILLE therefore chooses vegan wax, preserving biodiversity and the species itself.

In addition, CVM ILLE is in partnership with the city of Antwerp, to install honey flowers on the front of our shop. A simple gesture, but one that, on a large scale, will make a real difference. 

To know more about bees, here a few links of @/PETA / @/PETA_France :

Moreover, all the members of the CVM ILLE team being themself vegan and eager to have a lower carbon footprint, it is important for us to offer sustainable products, preserving the environment, in a sincere and honest approach.

For each jewel purchased, 2% of the sale price is donated to the French Association "Les Luttes à Lier" for the creation of the First Animal Sanctuary (Vegan & Anti-Specieist) in the #Paris region, a non-oppressive place of life for animals saved from a life of mistreatment, breeding, or slaughterhouse.
