Le Guide gemme joaillerie
Understanding, choosing and caring for your jewelry
Because jewelry is more than just an object, GEMME Joaillerie is with you every step of the way: from selecting your piece to caring for it. This guide was designed to answer all your questions—with transparency and simplicity.
🧭 Summary
1. How to choose your jewelry?
A piece of jewelry can be a symbolic gift , an intimate object , a style detail , or all of these at once.
At GEMME, we advise you to choose with your heart and your eyes:
– What do you want to express? An emotion, a stage of life, a connection?
– Do you prefer soft or structured shapes?
– Rather minimalist or daring?
– Do you have an affinity with certain stones or metals?
If you're unsure, contact us. We're here to guide you.

Each stone carries an energy, a story, a vibration.

Garnet : anchoring, vital force
-
Amethyst : calming, mental clarity
-
Peridot : regeneration, positivity
-
Citrine : confidence, radiance

3. What ring size should I choose?
Not sure about your size?
Here are some simple methods:
– Measure the inside diameter of a ring you already wear
– Use a virtual ring sizer or a printable ruler

💡 Tip: Finger size may vary depending on the temperature, time of day, or hand (left/right). It's best to measure multiple times to confirm.
4. What materials are used at GEMME?
We only work with noble and durable materials :
-
950 silver : purer than 925 silver, brighter
-
18-carat gold (750/1000) : on order or for custom pieces
-
Natural stones : hand-selected, without heavy treatment
-
Recycled metals : whenever possible, for more responsible jewelry
5. How to care for your jewelry?
A few simple steps can help preserve the shine of your jewelry:
– Store them separately to avoid scratches
– Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfumes, chemicals
– Clean them with a soft microfiber cloth
– For silver, regular use of a special silver bath can revive the shine.

6. What should I do if my jewelry oxidizes?
950 silver , like all solid silver, can oxidize over time.
This is not a defect: it is a natural reaction with air, humidity or skin.
Gently rub your jewelry with a special silver cloth.
You can also have it cleaned in the workshop on request.
7. Can we have a piece of jewelry custom-made?
Yes. It's even an essential part of our know-how.
We offer personalized support to create:
– a unique jewel
– a transformation of stone or old jewelry
– an engagement ring, a symbolic piece…
Each creation is designed in dialogue with you.
