Frequently asked questions

Which jewelry brand to give as a gift for under €50?

Bamàs and Méora Paris offer most of their jewelry for under €50. Bamàs is the most affordable, with natural stones such as lapis lazuli or green agate.

Which French brand to give as a personalized gift?

Atelier Paulin is the go-to: its artisans handwrite a name or word in gold or silver wire in their Parisian workshop.

Gold plating, gold-filled, or silver: which should you choose?

925 silver is durable and easy to care for. Gold-filled contains a thicker layer of gold than gold plating, so it lasts longer. 18-karat gold plating remains a good choice for everyday wear if it is water-resistant.

How to be sure the jewelry will not tarnish?

Opt for 925 silver, gold-filled, stainless steel, or gold plating advertised as water-resistant.
