Corporate Responsability Policy

CLAUS UNION SL, founded by the brothers Miguel Ángel and Francisco Claus, is a company whose activity is focused on the manufacture and wholesale of jewelers at an international level. It was created in 2011, based on a long family tradition and is located in the Jeweler Park of Cordoba. 

It currently participates in the most important fairs in the sector, such as Vicenza Oro, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Oroarezzo…, and its models are exported to many countries around the world. 

All the products are designed by the company itself, with more than 3,000 models suitable for each market. They are mainly manufactured in 9k, 10k, 14k and 18k gold and are combined to create collections of brilliants, precious stones, semi-precious or plain gold. 

In 2016, seeing the rising trend of online sales, it was decided to create the brand BEA SOLDADO and bet on this sales channel for the final public. To this end, Bea, who gives her name to the brand and is a fundamental part of its development, joined the company. The philosophy of this brand is based on 9k gold and simple and elegant minimalist designs, a perfect mix to reach all audiences. 

For both business models we have a fantastic team of professionals, favored by a great atmosphere and capacity to face all the projects we have set for the future. 

Our workshop is located in the Jeweler Park in Córdoba, Carretera de Palma del Río, KM 3.3. Fase 2 Nave 14. 14005 Córdoba, Spain, where we employ 11 people. In addition, through El Corte Inglés, we have several points of sale of our Bea Soldado brand in Cordoba as well as in Madrid, Jerez, and Seville at the moment.
