In 1954 François Crespo, an artisan jewelry, he founded La Coque de Nacre (words meaning “shell of the mother pearl”), a laboratory specializing in jewelry with pearls, for sale to wholesalers. But with time the company’s production is geared to the production of silver jewelry, gold plated jewelery. Today Bijoux Cn is run by the son of the founder, Philippe Crespo, has 80 employees at its headquarters in Paris, a turnover of 30 million and has produced something like 5 million pieces of jewelry, of which 80% completed or finished in Europe, while the catalog includes 6 thousand items, of which 20% are renewed each year.
But it is curious enough the type of communication of the company, “For competitive reasons, all manual activities are performed outside of Europe with historic partners of the company: for example, with a more than 20-year partnership with one of the the largest Thai factories employing almost 5 thousand people specialized in jewelry. Finishing, such as polishing, gold plating 18 kt (10 years guaranteed) or rhodium are made to the Community for reasons of quality.” Well, hurray to sincerity.
