Dorothée Contour

Owner-Founder

Jewellery Ethically Minded

who will address on

From strategy consulting to ethical jewellery : a career led by a quest for meaning

JEM, short for Jewellery Ethically Minded, is the first French jewellery house dedicated to ethical and sustainable luxury. Founded by Dorothée Contour, JEM embodies a new vision of jewellery : modern, minimalist, and deeply conscious.

The brand pioneers the use of Fairmined-certified gold and lab-grown diamonds, later adding responsibly sourced pearls and nacre from Fiji. JEM values craftsmanship and promotes the heritage of French jewellery-making.

Its aesthetic blends purity, timelessness, and strength, aiming to resonate with diverse audiences while telling meaningful stories. Each piece is designed to carry symbolic power and emotional significance. The brand also collaborates with artists and designers to enrich its creative direction.

JEM redefines preciousness not just through materials, but through intention and values. It stands today as a leading voice in sustainable, responsible fine jewellery in France.

About Dorothée Contour

Dorothée Contour was born in 1982 in Paris into a culturally rich family, where she developed a strong appreciation for beauty, art, and social awareness. Her passion for societal change emerged early, shaping her academic path. Although drawn to social sciences and history, she pursued a business education at HEC, graduating in 2006.

During her studies, she became involved in fair trade and was deeply influenced by a meeting with the founder of Alter Eco. This encounter sparked her vision of redefining business as a tool for social and environmental good. She believes companies should integrate social values into their business models.

After a stint in strategy consulting, she joined the Alliance for Responsible Mining in 2010 and became passionate about ethical gold sourcing. This led to her involvement in launching the Fairmined label. In 2016, she took full leadership of JEM, a brand she co-founded, committed to ethical and sustainable jewelry.

An event proposed by Galeries Lafayette Luxembourg

This event is offered to Women in Business members by Galeries Lafayette, who will also be hosting the cocktail reception following Dorothée Contour’s talk. Your participation fee will be fully donated to a charity supported by WIB. To support the cause, Galeries Lafayette will offer each attendee a €30 gift card!

who will address on

“When a woman stands, the world moves”

Q & A to the “National Mum” of Burundi

About Marguerite BARANKITSE

Marguerite “Maggy” Barankitse was born in 1957 in Ruyigi, eastern Burundi.Orphaned by her father at age six, she was raised in a home built on solidarity and inclusion.

In October 1993, ethnic violence in Burundi led to a massacre she narrowly survived.Despite being Tutsi, she risked her life to save 25 children, hiding them from attackers.That traumatic moment became the catalyst for Maison Shalom, that offers shelter, education, health care, and dignity to orphans and vulnerable youth.

To date, the organization has transformed the lives of over 50,000 children. Its mission extends to sustainable development, reconciliation, and community healing. Maison Shalom is now based in Rwanda and celebrates 32 years of impact in 2025.Maggy emphasizes forgiveness over revenge, and love over hate.

She has received 34 honors worldwide, including two Burundian presidential medals. Notable awards include UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award (2005), Chirac Foundation Prize for Conflict Prevention (2011), Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity (2016).

Several books detail her journey, including Love Made Me an Inventor and La haine n’aura pas le dernier mot.

Maggy is often called the “National Mum” of Burundi for her maternal leadership. Her life is a testament to how one woman’s courage and compassion can heal a nation. She remains a global symbol of peacebuilding, resilience, and unconditional love.
