Menē crafts 24 karat gold and platinum investment jewelry™ that is transparently sold by gram weight. By combining innovative technology with timeless design, Menē restores the ancient tradition of jewelry as a store of enduring value. OUR FOUNDING MISSION Our company was founded by Roy Sebag and Diana W. Picasso who feel that luxury jewelry brands have increasingly lost sight of the importance for jewelry to have lasting value. Together, Diana and Roy have established a unique business that empowers consumers to view jewelry as an asset which retains its savings value while satisfying our innate human desire for self-expression and recollection through time. OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES Three principles of transparency uphold our commitment to crafting jewelry that sustains its original value: 1) Menē jewelry is crafted from pure 24 karat gold (Au) and platinum (Pt) with no diamonds or gemstones. This means our creations become a timeless physical object that will never tarnish (unlike man-made chemical alloys of 18 karats or less). It also means that simply weighing Menē jewelry will always unveil its objective value. 2) Menē jewelry is sold by the gold and platinum weight value plus a transparent design and manufacturing premium. This premium is never more than 20% of the precious metal value each day. The result: a $1,000 Menē ring will have at least $800 in gold or platinum value at the time of purchase while $200 is the revenue earned by Menē. 3) Menē provides a lifetime guarantee to buy-back or exchange any authentic Menē jewelry at the prevailing gold and platinum prices minus a 10% fee. These principles result in a truly revolutionary value proposition for the consumer. A rise in gold or platinum values of just 21% would render the jewelry more valuable than at the time of purchase. Since 1971, the price of Gold has risen by 3,100%. If history is to repeat, Menē jewelry will maintain its purchasing power and appreciate as an exceptional investment.
