“ALT is a family story linked to my grandparents’ jewelry that I started wearing by diverting it from its primary function: a watch chain into a necklace, a cufflink into a pendant, a brooch into a bracelet, wedding rings worn in accumulation… Over the years, these jewels have transformed again but this time into a project, thus becoming the symbol of a constant alternative: mixed jewelry that can be shared, transgenerational and sustainable jewelry, jewelry made in France that echoes my roots, family jewels.”

Made in France
Made in France in silver, vermeil and 18k gold, precious and durable materials, each jewel requires multiple manufacturing steps. It thus passes through the expert hands of craftsmen in order to accompany you on a daily basis and travel through time.
Silver
Silver is a precious metal; according to French regulations, solid silver must contain 80% to 92.5% silver. This is the case for our jewelry made from 925 silver, which is water-resistant and hypoallergenic.
Vermeil
Vermeil is a precious metal, unlike "gold-dipped, gold-plated, or gold-plated" jewelry, which are made of different metals, vermeil jewelry is made of 925 silver and contains 2 to 5 times more gold. It is therefore more durable and hypoallergenic.
The art of detail
Each ALT piece of jewelry is presented in a natural cotton pouch to protect it and accompany it on its travels. It comes with an envelope handmade from recycled hemp and linen in France.
Take care of it
From the workshop to your hands, your jewel has required a lot of attention, which is why it will need more.
Like all of us, he is not afraid of water but prefers to be dry.
Like your skin, it doesn't like hydroalcoholic gels and chemicals.
Like many, he doesn't like violence, only gentleness. So avoid roughing him up and clean him with a soft cloth.
