Sustainability is on everyone’s lips. But talking about it is no longer enough. People are increasingly interested in the origins of products and materials and the human rights, ethics, social, and ecological conditions under which they were produced - even more so for a product close to the skin.

We offer you personalized traceability of your jewelry: With this initiative, we are the first company in the industry to show such comprehensive transparency!

 

 

Let's shape the future together: sustainability with lasting value

We understand that traceability and transparency are a growing customer need, not just a short-term trend. Consumers want to see responsible practices. At Furrer Jacot, we are committed to full transparency within the value chain and, in collaboration with the Swiss platform respect-code.org, are the first jewelry company worldwide to disclose complex production processes.

Respect Code by Product DNA

The Swiss company was founded in 2005 by Robin Cornelius. He is known as the "Pioneer of fair trade in textiles". With Product DNA, Robin Cornelius established the very first independent platform of its kind called respect-code.org. This platform enables the value chains of products to be rigorously appraised, making them traceable.

Each product has its own QR code. The QR code allows you to view the individual production steps and provides access to additional useful information.
