The Gem Jewelry Guide
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 Joaillerie, we advise you to choose with your heart and your eyes:
– What do you want to express? An emotion, a life stage, a connection?
– Do you prefer soft or structured shapes?
– Rather minimalist or bold?
– Do you have an affinity for certain stones or metals?
If you're unsure, contact us. We are here to guide you.
Which stones to choose according to their symbolism?
Each stone carries an energy, a story, a vibration.
Garnet: grounding, vital force
Amethyst: soothing, mental clarity
Citrine: confidence, radiance
Blue Topaz: communication, intuition
Smoky Quartz: protection, grounding
Sapphire: wisdom, truth
Emerald: deep love, renewal
What ring size to choose?
Not sure of 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
– Contact us to receive a free ring guide
Tip: Finger size can vary depending on heat, time of day, or hand (left/right). It's best to measure several times to confirm.
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): by order or for custom pieces
Natural stones: hand-selected, without heavy treatment
Recycled metals: whenever possible, for more responsible jewelry
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 dipping in a special silver bath can restore its brilliance
Need cleaning or repair?
We offer a revision service for your GEMME jewelry. Contact us.
What to do if my jewelry oxidizes?
950 silver, like all sterling 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 professionally cleaned upon request.
Can a custom piece of jewelry be made?
Yes. This is even an essential part of our expertise.
We offer personalized support to create:
– a unique piece of jewelry
– a transformation of an old stone or piece of jewelry
– an engagement ring, a symbolic piece…
Each creation is designed in dialogue with you.
