Our
materials science breakthrough
After 5 years of groundbreaking research alongside Albert Fert, 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics, we patented a pioneering family of gold-based materials:
gold-tungsten alloys.
This breakthrough allows us to substitute precious metals with a more abundant
and much less polluting one.
With our innovation, we provide solutions to address the environmental, social, and financial challenges of working with precious metals.
DISCOVER OUR GAME-CHANGING Gold-Tungsten MATERIALs
High performance
By mixing gold with tungsten, the hardest metal on earth, Daumet revealed gold's exceptional properties and opened up new uses for it.
More sustainable
Tungsten is an abundant metal, so much less harmful to extract than all precious metals.
Gold-tungsten alloys reduce the overall environmental impact of gold alloys usage : water consumption, GHG emissions, human toxicity, biodiversity loss, etc.
Low sourcing risks
Relying on tungsten instead of high sourcing-risk metals makes our gold solutions production more stable and predictable, including in terms of price.
