18K White Gold coated Ring by Daumet

Our vision: a new age of gold.

Global gold demand grows while resources decline. Mining continues causing irreversible harm. Daumet's answer is not less gold - it is smarter gold. The same beauty, the same preciousness, a fraction of the material.

Our mission: 100 tonnes of gold saved annually by 2030.

We develop patented alloys and deposition technologies that reduce gold consumption while maintaining certified quality. From CNRS-born research to full-scale deployment across luxury, jewelry, and industrial applications - our mission is clear: substitute 100 tonnes of gold annually by 2030, protecting ecosystems without compromising excellence.

Our foundation

Founded in 2016 from electronics research at the CNRS / Thales laboratory at Université Paris-Saclay - where atomic precision was first applied to precious metals. Five years of fundamental research before the first commercial partnership. No shortcuts.
Today, EPV-labelled - France's highest distinction for living craftsmanship - and the first deeptech ever to receive it.

DAU, from daurare - to gild. MET, from meta - to transform. Our name says what we do.

THE SCIENCE CAME FIRST. THE BEAUTY FOLLOWED.

A Paris laboratory, a French atelier, ten years of series production for the Maisons. Come and see what the alloy can do for you.
