Jeweller Courbet, recently installed on Place Vendôme, advocates the use of recycled gold and cultured diamonds. According to Courbet, these lab-created stones represent the future of jewellery, as their impact on nature is reduced to a minimum. Devoting a large part of its collections to engagement rings, it is targetting the new generation, well-informed and militant. Courbet, 7 place Vendôme, Paris 1 (01 83 75 74 22).
