Recycled metals have a lower carbon footprint than mined metals. We exclusively select 100% recycled brass, silver and gold, supplied by trusted French partners with almost a century of history. Most of our chains come from responsible local suppliers, in whom we have complete confidence.

We are actively working to have all our metals certified by the RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council), the leading global standards organisation for the jewellery and watch industry.

Metal recycling is also an essential practice in our Parisian workshop: we recover most of the metal waste from production to limit the waste of resources and reduce the environmental impacts linked to mining.

Ylen places great importance on sustainability in the choice and production of new materials used.

Other materials, apart from metals, come from certified suppliers in France and Europe, or are made in collaboration with other artists and design workshops for limited edition jewelry collections.

If you are an artist or design studio, we would love to consider collaborating with you.

At Ylen, we believe that jewelry should not only be aesthetically pleasing, but also durable. To ensure maximum longevity, we opted for a 5-micron 24k gold plating, thicker than common alternatives, so that each creation retains its shine over the years.

For those looking for even more sustainable and environmentally friendly options, we also offer creations in solid gold, silver or platinum. These metals, although requiring a higher initial investment, have a reduced environmental impact in terms of recycling and production.
