Jewelers & Silversmiths — Page 8

What makes great jewelers & silversmiths?

This plate lists 1,282 shops in 116 countries. Paris has the most with 52, followed by Nairobi with 14. Among these shops, 122 describe made-to-order work, 64 offer repairs, 136 sell online and 10 work by appointment, going by their own descriptions.

Ask who made the piece: a shop that can name the bench and the person at it is selling something different from finished stock.

Ask for the metal standard and the stone: ask for purity rather than colour, and for any grading document that comes with a stone.

Ask whether it can be resized or repaired: settle the terms for sizing and repair before buying anything that has to fit.

Some jewellers only see clients by appointment. BAUNAT asks visitors to book ahead for its Antwerp showroom at Schupstraat 21, so check before you travel.
