Legacy
Edouard Colson is a french industrial, investor and craftsman established in the USA. Here is his success story :
Origins, childhood and education
Edouard was raised in a catholic family of six, in the medieval city of Provins, near Paris. He was blessed with a very large number of cousins and a sense of family unity. Most of his vacations were taking place in stunning three hundred years old family mansions, legacy from the noble and aristocrat origins of both his mother and father. Religious moral and values, classic music, art bronzes, old paintings are part of Edouard’s environment during all his childhood.
From father side, the origins of his family are immigrants from England to the region of Lorraine in eastern France during the religious wars of the sevententh century. The Colson family established as ‘Maitre de Poste’ (Postmaster) in the days of horse-drawn carriages, then became a wealthy and influent family during the French revolution of 1789 with professions such as lawyers, attorneys, prosecutors and judges.
From mother side, his family was important land owners inherited from noble origins. The ancestry of this family is incredibly well documented. Edouard can track his origins back to the Carolingian dynasty of the kings of France. Multiple branches of his family are linked directly to important personalities, such as the Scottish nobleman Ulysse Monroe dit Roe, or the settler and governor of Quebec Pierre Boucher de Boucherville.
Edouard received a high end and strict education in the the private schools of Sainte-Croix in Provins, and Saint-Joseph in Reims. He was also a scout during ten years, like all his siblings. Graduated with a baccalaureat ‘with distinction’ in Economics, Edouard pursued his education in multiple private universities and business schools in France, in the U.K, and in Germany. Edouard has a bachelor degree in Finance, and a Masters degree in Management of Industries.
Career, expertise, and path to the USA with a loving family
“Nil sine labore” (Latin words for “nothing without work”) is his motto. Edouard took his first job near Cologne in Germany. He reinforced his fluent German language skills and learned about the industrial environment. A couple of years later, a multinational train manufacturer offered him a position. Edouard moved to Valenciennes in Northern France, on a large production site where he purchased parts and equipment to build trains.
He became highly knowledgeable about the metallurgic industry, from the production of metals in all its variances to its transformations processes. A knowledge which will inspire later his craftsman skills with the precious yellow metal. With passion for his job, an immense dedication to work and a proven talent in technical negotiation, Edouard evolved very quickly to different positions and became responsible for many other critical and safety equipment.
The company invited him to take a lead position at the headquarters in Paris, Edouard accepted and relocated again. He spent several years enjoying the beautiful historical heritage of the French capital, also capital of the world for art and fashion. Edouard spent lot of time travelling for business. He developed a deep technical expertise and worldwide connections in the industry.
In early 2010’s an American manufacturer invited Edouard to develop new infrastructure for the USA. A risky but exciting adventure that Edouard accepted. He sold his assets, his house, his cars… he loaded a container with his belongings and crossed the Atlantic to immigrate on the new continent together with his wife and children. As an enthusiast, responsible and inclusive leader, Edouard evolved to managerial positions until becoming the head of supplier excellence for the North American region.
Edouard is married and has four children. This little crowd has become totally immerged into the American culture, without forgetting their origins from the old continent and maintaining a high degree of cultural mix. Whatever he does, he does it with passion. Edouard wanted to discover this amazing country and wanted to give his family a unique experience. In just a few years, Edouard brought his family into many travels and road trips across the country. They visited most national parks, visited all large cities, stayed in each State, visited countless museums. Edouard and his family have appreciated each little piece of this incredible and immense country.
Crafting gold artwork in solid gold
In addition to a brilliant career, Edouard became also a successful investor. He developed some assets in real estate, in stocks, in commodities and in art in order to secure the future of his legacy, his family. But Edouard thinks out of the box. Inspired about assets, commodities, handcrafted art, American history of the gold rush, and altogether combined with very high competences in metal casting and also knowledge of traditional European codes of Art, Edouard started for his own pride to design and create small objects in solid gold around the cherished theme of the golf. This became a hobby : conceptualize an object he wants to have, then make it a real unique handcrafted precious artwork in solid gold.

Precious metal
Gold has occupied a unique social status for millennia, from the ancient Egyptians to the modern U.S. Treasury. Gold is recognized since primitive times to symbolize wealth and luck as well as strengthen confidence. Gold, with its warm glow, represents the sun, the center of our solar system and around which all other planets rotate, making it magnetic. Golden objects are considered more potent for magnetizing and attracting greater wealth. Owning gold can act as a hedge against inflation and deflation alike, as well as a good portfolio diversifier.

Ethically sourced metal
ECOLSON™ uses ethical gold from Precious Metal Refining. Since 1998, United has provided support of environmental and social impact concerns of precious metal mining by supplying refined precious metals, sourced from industries other than mining, to the jewelry market worldwide. United refines gold to meet a highly consistent standard and to make them suitable for use in jewelry casting. United Precious Metal Refining operates in compliance with the EICC – GeSI Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative for sourcing only from “conflicted” areas of the world subjected to Responsible Supply Chain due-diligence. The countries which are presently included in the list as of “conflicted areas” are : Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. We believe that by avoiding metal sourced from these areas, we reduce both human and environmental harm, as well as the distances traveled and energy expended to bring metals into jewelry production.
Giving back
In remembrance of the suffering of his own family in France during the second world war, Edouard Colson is personally sensible about the freedom obtained by the sacrifice of the fallen during the liberation of Europe in 1944. The Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy marked the start of a long and costy campaign to liberate north-west Europe from Nazi occupation. We donate to the National WWII Museum to allow future generations to better appreciate the real stories of our heroes, their struggle and sacrifice.
