Where is the jewelry made?
Made entirely in France, in our workshops which work for some of the best names in jewelry, our jewels are evidence of an uncompromising search for quality.
You will see on most of our jewels two hallmarks: the hallmark of our workshop, which certifies that we have made your jewel and that our quality charter is respected, but also a State hallmark, which attests to our French manufacture, and certifies that the gold, silver or platinum of your jewel is 750 thousandths, 925 thousandths or 950 thousandths. These can be placed inside or outside the jewel.
The State hallmark is, in accordance with the legislation in force, present on all gold coins over 3g and on all silver coins over 30g.
Do you have any boutiques?
We have several boutiques : two in Paris (in the 6th and the 17th), one in Brussels, one in Geneva, one in Lyon, Bordeaux, Aix-en-Provence and one in Toulouse which allow you to discover our creations in person.

Jewelry
Can I buy a piece of jewelry made to measure?
We are a young business working by hand to create beautiful jewelry. In the current state of our development, we have too many orders to systematically accept requests for custom manufacturing that are not based on one of our existing models.
If you would like to request a quote from our workshops, please contact our customer service department at +33 1 42 46 90 89 or by email at hello@gemmyo.com : our customer service department will forward your request to our workshops and tell you if we are able to make your jewelry and at what budget. Please note that requests for quotes are free and do not commit you to ordering your jewelry from Gemmyo.
Will my silver jewel tarnish?
Yes. Unfortunately after a certain period of time, any silver jewelry piece tarnishes. We apply a fine layer of rhodium (we use the term rhodium-plated) to our silver so it is more resistant over time. Nevertheless, eventually, it will still have a patina that is typical of all silver jewelry.
The time it takes for this patina to develop depends on many factors: the chemical reaction of the silver with your skin or the humidity level in the air, for example.
Luckily, there are many ways to clean silver jewelry. To know everything about the maintenance of metals, and jewelry in general, read the advice of our jewelry specialists, who will give you all the tips and tricks to wear your stones throughout your life!

Can I have a jewel repaired or resized that I didn't buy from Gemmyo?
No. To guarantee the quality of the products leaving our workshops, we do not rework jewels whose origin we do not know and whose stones have not been selected by Gemmyo.
Why can prices of our jewelry occasionally vary?
At Gemmyo, we try our very best to guarantee fair prices and the cheapest possible whilst respecting tout en respectant our requirement of Made in France quality. That's why our prices are directly calculated according to the variations of the gold and gemstone market. For example, if the price of sapphire drops, our sapphire jewelry will also drop in price; but if the price of gold rises, our gold models will increase in price according to the change in the price of gold.
Don't worry though, once your order is validated, the price of your jewel will not vary anymore! On the other hand, if you have only put your jewel in the shopping cart, the price may decrease or increase, so don't be surprised if the price of your jewel changes! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact our jewelers and consultants at +33 1 42 46 90 89.

Stones
What is the quality of our stones?
At Gemmyo we only offer stones that we would like to wear ourselves. Therefore, we we select stones of excellent quality, well-cut and shiny. We take special care in finding stones and try to choose them with as few inclusions as possible.
In the case of fine stones (all the stones we offer, excluding diamond), there is no recognisable and reliable worldwide system. The spectrum of possible colours make a stone's quality very subjective. Would you prefer an aquamarine or intense blue, close to topaz, or a very light blue, like a lagoon? Everyone has their own preferences.
Moreover, some stones are hardly ever found in the form of perfectly transparent crystals. Emerald, for example, often contains inclusions that affect its transparency and can make it slightly cloudy. This is not serious: on the contrary, experts consider that these defects are the best mark of a natural stone.
Are your stones heated?
Today, the reality of the jewelry world is such that it is often difficult to know if a stone has been treated or if it is perfectly natural. When buying fine coloured stones, it is nevertheless necessary to accept the idea that most of the stones have been treated by conventional methods such as heat treatment. Some varieties of stones are almost always treated: so is the case of tanzanites and blue topaz, for example. This doesn't mean at all that they are of any less value, its just the reality of the gemstone industry! Gemmyo does not use stones treated with unconventional technologies such as laser, irradiation or diffusion.
Are your stones natural?
100% of Gemmyo stones are natural stones, selected one by one by our specialists. Our quality control is very strict and less than 50% of the stones we examine are selected and retained by our team to be used on your jewelry.
Do your stones come from ethically certified mines?
It is very difficult today to precisely define the origin of a stone and the conditions under which it was extracted. At Gemmyo, we are constantly looking for new suppliers to ensure that our stones are of the highest quality and from ethical mines.
Moreover, we are in close contact with our lapidaires, and we regularly check that our stones are cut in optimum conditions, both in social and environmental terms. Our gemstones supply manager follows each order personally and regularly visits the cutting workshops we work with. This interaction with lapidaries not only guarantees you stones with an impeccable finish, but also a production process that we control.
Finally, note that our diamond jewelry are, when over 0.3K, delivered with a certificate of authenticity. The diamond merchants we work with are signatories of the Kimberley, pledging to only cut and resell diamonds that do not come from conflict zones.
Can I choose my stone?
Exclusively in boutique: You can come and select which sapphire or emerald you would like to adorn your jewelry. For sapphires, whether it's Ceylan or Thailand, light or stronger, you can select the gemstone of your dreams!
If you order directly on our website, you can contact us after your order to explain in more detail the shade you desire for your stone. Our gemmologists will then select the stone closest to your expectations.
After sales service
What should I do if my ring is the wrong size?
Do you live in the European Union (including DOM TOM)? Gemmyo offers you the possibility of free resizing if you send it back within 30 days of receiving your package. In order to do this, contact our customer service on +33 1 42 46 90 89.
