Our HOUSE
ORIGINE & CO was born from a simple conviction: jewelry can be both precious and conscious, conveying emotion as much as meaning.
Behind this house is Marie-Ann Wachtmeister, a pioneer of ethical jewelry, and also co-founder of Courbet, the first house located in Place Vendôme to have worked exclusively with lab-grown diamonds and recycled gold.
Building on this foundational experience, she chose to pursue her vision, with more freedom and radicalism.
ORIGINE & CO was thus born from a desire: to return to the essential, to the beauty of the gesture, to the truth of the materials, and to the purity of the design.
The name embodies this idea of ORIGIN, for a return to the source: to nature, to matter, to the initial intention to create.
Et & CO, for continuity, collaboration, and the idea that creation never exists alone; it is the result of a dialogue between artisans, creators and wearers of the jewel.
Our Commitment
From the drawing to the final piece.
Each ORIGINE & CO piece is designed as a symbol of the brand's philosophy:
a balance between tradition and modernity, between the nobility of craftsmanship and the precision of the most advanced technologies.
The ORIGINE & CO design is based on three principles: timelessness, audacity and purity an alliance between the strength of the gesture, the accuracy of the form and the beauty that transcends time.
Our pieces are made in workshops located in Valenza, Italy and Lyon, where several generations of jewelry artisans have been working, also crafting the creations of the biggest houses on Place Vendôme.
Their expertise, passed down with rigor and passion, gives each ORIGINE & CO jewel that precision and quality that cannot be improvised.
Timeless audacity
The brand's vision of beauty is expressed through a refined and welcoming aesthetic, characterized by generous, rounded, and symmetrical forms. A "warm minimalism" where simplicity is never cold, but rather imbued with balance and sensitivity.
Here, timelessness is not synonymous with classic or traditional. It can be bold, innovative, even surprising, as long as it retains that precision that withstands the test of time. Timelessness is the undeniable beauty that endures because it is founded on coherence, proportion, and emotion.
The company does not follow trends: it follows a creative philosophy faithful to the essentials, where each piece asserts its singularity without ever sacrificing harmony.
The selection of diamonds by Origine & Co
Each Origine & Co lab-grown diamond is chosen according to the highest jewelry standards.
All are D colour, of minimum VS purity, and have an ideal size rated Triple Excellent (size, symmetry and polish).
Each stone is examined individually to guarantee absolute brilliance, precision and harmony, the signature of ORIGINE & CO.
Diamonds over 0.30 carats are accompanied by an IGI (International Gemological Institute) certificate , guaranteeing their quality and traceability.
L'or Origine & Co
ORIGINE & CO uses only recycled 18k gold (750/1000), sourced from certified and traceable circuits.
This choice reflects a fundamental conviction: beauty should never come at the expense of the planet's resources.
Melted and reshaped by our artisans, this gold finds a new life without any loss of purity or quality, a symbol of luxury that is both conscious and sustainable.
