Origine Paris is an ethical and responsible fine jewellery house, specialising in the creation of jewellery crafted from recycled 18-carat gold and laboratory-grown diamonds. Each piece is designed and made with the utmost respect for people and the environment, combining traditional craftsmanship with exceptional materials.
Origine Paris does not operate a physical boutique open to the public and does not, at this time, offer an online shop. All orders are handled exclusively by appointment, as described in Article 2.
Article 2 : Scope of Application
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter the “GTC”) govern all commercial relations between Origine Paris and its clients, whether for pieces from existing collections or bespoke creations.
Placing an order implies full and unreserved acceptance of these GTC, which the client acknowledges having read prior to placing any order.
Article 3 : How to Order
3.1 : Getting in touch
All purchases are handled exclusively by appointment, through one of the following channels:
- Video conference (Zoom, Google Meet or equivalent)
- Telephone appointment
- In-person meeting, by express invitation from Origine Paris
- Preliminary exchange by email for information requests
No firm order can be placed without written confirmation from Origine Paris.
3.2 : The appointment
During the appointment, our team takes the time to understand your project, present available materials and existing creations, and define together the characteristics of the piece you have in mind. We approach every project with enthusiasm and do our utmost to respond favourably to your request.
All orders are initially registered without firm commitment, in order to allow us to assess technical, aesthetic and ethical feasibility.
3.3 : Right to decline an order
Origine Paris reserves the right to decline any order, without being required to justify its decision, in particular in the following cases:
- The request involves reproducing, imitating or copying a protected design belonging to another brand or jewellery house (see Article 4);
- The project is technically unfeasible within our manufacturing process;
- The request conflicts with the ethical commitments and values of Origine Paris;
- The conditions or timelines requested cannot reasonably be guaranteed.
In the event of a decline, the client will be informed as soon as possible, with no fees or penalties of any kind.
Article 4 : Intellectual Property & Creative Ethics
4.1 : Respect for third-party intellectual property
Origine Paris places the utmost importance on respecting creativity and intellectual property. As such, the house categorically refuses to produce any piece that constitutes a copy, reproduction or imitation, even partial or adapted, of a creation belonging to another brand, jewellery house or independent designer.
Any such request will be systematically declined. If a client is inspired by the spirit of an existing piece, Origine Paris may propose an entirely original creation drawing freely from that inspiration, without infringing on third-party rights.
4.2 : Exclusive ownership of Origine Paris designs & creations
All drawings, sketches, mock-ups, visuals and models created by Origine Paris remain the exclusive intellectual property of Origine Paris, whether produced in the context of a bespoke project or otherwise. This ownership is established from the moment of creation, regardless of whether a firm order is placed and whatever the outcome of discussions with the client.
A client who commissions a bespoke piece and pays for it in full acquires ownership of the physical piece produced. However, the drawings and models that gave rise to it remain the property of Origine Paris. The house therefore reserves the right to draw inspiration from them, develop variations, or offer similar pieces to other clients, including publishing them online. The appearance of a piece inspired by a bespoke project on the Origine Paris website or communications does not constitute a breach of the client’s rights.
Under no circumstances may the client use, reproduce, transmit or entrust to any third party the drawings, sketches or mock-ups produced by Origine Paris in order to have them manufactured elsewhere. Any breach of this rule constitutes a violation of Origine Paris’s intellectual property rights and may give rise to legal proceedings.
Article 5 : Bespoke Orders
5.1 : Definition
A bespoke order is defined as any piece involving personalisation beyond the existing Origine Paris collections. This includes in particular:
- Engraving of a text, date, name or any other personalised element;
- Modification of the dimensions, materials or stones of a collection piece;
- The design and creation of an entirely original piece made specifically for the client.
5.2 : No right of withdrawal
In accordance with Article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the fourteen (14) day right of withdrawal does not apply to goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalised.
Any bespoke order within the meaning of Article 5.1 is therefore firm and final upon written confirmation by Origine Paris and payment of the deposit. It may not be subject to withdrawal, cancellation or refund.
Article 6 : Collection Pieces & Right of Withdrawal
For non-personalised pieces from the Origine Paris collections (Éclora, Daisy, Avalanche or any future collection), when the order is placed remotely (by phone, video conference or email), the client benefits from a fourteen (14) day right of withdrawal from the date of receipt of the piece, in accordance with Articles L.221-18 et seq. of the French Consumer Code.
To exercise this right, the client must notify Origine Paris in writing within this period. The piece must be returned in its original condition, unworn, in its original case, at the client’s expense. A full refund, including the deposit, will be issued within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the returned piece.
After this fourteen-day period, any cancellation at the client’s initiative results in the forfeiture of the deposit paid, which shall be retained by Origine Paris as a fixed indemnity, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Article 7 : Pricing & Payment Terms
7.1 : Prices
All prices are quoted in euros (€), inclusive of all applicable taxes. They are communicated during the appointment and confirmed in writing before any production begins.
Origine Paris reserves the right to adjust a quoted price in the event of a significant variation in the price of gold or materials between the date of the quote and the confirmation of the order. The client will be informed of any adjustment before final validation.
7.2 : Deposit
Upon confirmation of the order, a commitment deposit of 30% (thirty per cent) of the total price inclusive of tax is required, in order to initiate production and the sourcing of materials.
The balance, being 70% of the total price inclusive of tax, is due prior to delivery of the piece to the client.
For bespoke orders, the deposit is non-refundable once production has begun. For collection pieces ordered remotely, the deposit is refunded in full if the right of withdrawal is exercised within the fourteen-day legal period (see Article 6). After this period, the deposit is retained by Origine Paris.
7.3 : Payment methods
Accepted payment methods are specified at the time of order confirmation. No piece will enter production until the deposit has been received and cleared.
Article 8 : Production & Delivery Timelines
Origine Paris is committed to producing each piece with the greatest care and as promptly as possible. As a general guide, production timelines range from 5 to 8 weeks depending on the complexity of the project. In the case of an urgent request, Origine Paris will do its best to accommodate it, subject to feasibility.
Certain orders may require additional time, in particular when sourcing specific diamonds or stones proves more complex than anticipated. In such cases, the client will be informed promptly and a revised timeline will be agreed upon together.
All timelines communicated are indicative only and do not constitute a firm contractual commitment on the part of Origine Paris.
No penalty, compensation or damages may be claimed on account of a delivery delay, except in the case of gross negligence or wilful misconduct established against Origine Paris.
Article 9 : Legal Warranties
9.1 : Legal warranty of conformity
In accordance with Articles L.217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, Origine Paris is required to deliver goods that conform to the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty.
In the event of a lack of conformity, the client may choose between repair or replacement of the piece, subject to the cost conditions provided by law. If neither repair nor replacement is possible, the client may return the piece and receive a full refund.
9.2 : Warranty against hidden defects
In accordance with Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code, Origine Paris is liable for hidden defects in the item sold that render it unfit for its intended use, or that so diminish that use that the client would not have purchased it had they been aware of them. The client may then choose between returning the piece for a full refund, or keeping it for a partial refund.
9.3 : After-sales service & care
Origine Paris offers a cleaning, maintenance and restoration service for your jewellery. Conditions and pricing for this service are available on request during a dedicated appointment.
Article 10 : Personal Data
Information collected at the time of ordering is used exclusively by Origine Paris for the processing and follow-up of your order and our client relationship. It is never shared with third parties without your consent. In accordance with the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete and object to data held about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us at: contact@origineparis.com.
Article 11 : Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These GTC are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, and in the absence of an amicable resolution, the courts of competent jurisdiction within the district of Origine Paris’s registered office shall have exclusive jurisdiction. In accordance with the French Consumer Code, clients may also refer the matter to a consumer mediator under the conditions provided by law.
