Discovering the jeweler's profession

Coming from a background in jewelry-making, the jeweler's profession gives life to exceptional creations and collections of jewels.

Indeed, the jeweler is a creative craftsman who makes jewelry and exceptional pieces using precious materials and following traditional and artisanal know-how. A jeweler can not only create
pieces but also, restore them or imagine new ones based on already existing creations.

Jewelry-making in France is an art in which many jewels (bracelets,earrings, rings, wedding rings,watchesetc.) are created.
The professions in jewelry-making (setting, polishing, etc.) are professions that require a taste for detail and an appetite for excellence. Indeed, this allows the art of jewelry-making to be perpetuated in France
beyond international borders.

The jeweler's profession

The jeweler creates and repairs jewelry or pieces of significant value, set with the most beautiful precious stones and noble materials. Generally made of gold, jewelry is often unique or custom-made pieces, respecting the customer's request and expectations.

The jeweler knows all the techniques and specific steps (setting, creation, polishing, etc.)

The Place Vendôme in Paris, France, is where the cradle of jewelers resides.
Indeed, the most beautiful jewelry houses receive many clients every day who want to create unique pieces of exceptional quality.

From then on, the jeweler mastered the art of creating exceptional pieces by mounting precious stones with each other. The idea is to highlight the beauty and aesthetics of the precious stones in a creation.

Differences between jeweler and jeweler

The term "jeweler" is a much better known and used word than that of jeweler. Indeed, he will work with all types of materials and not only the most precious ones. In other words, the jeweler will create jewelry that is not necessarily made from precious metals.

Conversely, the jeweler only works with what is most noble and precious in order to create exceptional pieces. The jewels of a jeweler will be exclusively made of gold and diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and other stones of exceptional quality.

The jeweler and the jeweler therefore both create jewelry and advise their customers in the best possible way. On the other hand, the jeweler will still work much more on aesthetics by only looking for quality as well as what is most beautiful in the lines of the jewel.

Additionally, in jewelry, the work will mainly focus on metal while in jewelry, it will mainly focus on precious stones.
The idea is to work them with the greatest care in order to enhance their shine and therefore all their beauty.
