Gold Mine
Substitution as a Solution.
Our mission is clear: by 2030, we aim to substitute 100 tons of gold annually with tungsten. This represents 3% of the world’s annual extraction.

Every year, our technology acts as a shield to avoid:

CO2: The carbon footprint of the City of Paris.

Water: The pollution of 50,000 Olympic swimming pools.

Biodiversity: The loss of 90,000 football fields of rainforest.
Casting 24K Gold Ingot
Controlling Every Atom.
We believe a single source cannot solve every social and environmental challenge. Daumet uses a tailored dual-sourcing model:

Reprocessed Gold: Used for all 24K and 18K Pink Gold applications to minimize new extraction.

Fairmined Gold: Used for our 18K White Gold, supporting artisanal mining organizations that meet the highest standards for social and environmental responsibility.
Biodiversity preservation
Certified Standards of Excellence.
Daumet is proud to commit to 6 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for positive impact (6, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 15)

LEAD THE TRANSITION TO RESPONSIBLE EXCELLENCE.

Align your industrial goals with the planet’s boundaries. Let’s redefine the future of gold together.

FAQ

Advice and answers from Daumet

What makes Daumet’s gold jewelry sustainable?

Daumet’s gold jewelry and gold applications are providing sustainable solutions thanks to our certified 3-step approach:

Responsible sourcing of recycled and Fairmined gold
Our innovative and patented Gold-Tungsten alloy, significantly reduces the environmental and social impacts of traditional gold mining.. Additionally, our Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology ensures eco-friendly and durable gold coatings.
The Daumet method minimizes the need for gold from the mine, cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and pollution associated with extraction.

How does Daumet’s Gold-Tungsten alloy contribute to sustainability?

Our Gold-Tungsten alloy reduces the need for extensive gold mining by combining gold with tungsten, an abundant and less impactful metal. This innovative and patented alloy provides a white and luminous appearance and the preciousness of 18K gold alloys while significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions,water consumption and terrestrial acidification associated with gold mining.

What are the environmental benefits of using PVD technology in gold coating?

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology used by Daumet for gold coating applications minimizes the use of harmful chemical products and is totally waterless, resulting in a more environmentally friendly process. PVD coatings are durable, reducing the need for frequent replacements and further lowering the environmental footprint of jewelry pieces and luxury goods.

What is recycled gold?

This is a much-debated issue in the global gold community. For some, gold can be considered recycled once it has been melted down once and reused. For others, only gold derived from waste can be considered recycled. The debate then turns to what can and cannot be considered as waste. One thing is certain: since the dawn of time, gold has not been thrown away, but reprocessed for reuse. Daumet refines its waste and reintroduces gold into its production loop, so the company uses recycled gold.
