Our top addresses for your jewelry transformations and custom piece creations
You have a beautiful jewel lying dormant in a drawer (just waiting to be dusted off!) and an urge to wear a unique and original creation for an important event… Paris Select has unearthed the best jewelers in Paris offering top-notch transformation and bespoke creation services.
Galeries Lafayette – Royal Quartz Paris
At Royal Quartz in the Galeries Lafayette, it’s Paola Lambert who leads the bespoke jewelry creation and transformation service. Whatever your dream, this magician with fairy-like fingers turns it into reality!
Thus, reimagining a cherished piece represents a way to create a unique jewel, and in an eco-friendly manner! For example, you can have a pendant made from a brooch, earrings crafted from a ring, a necklace with a pocket watch chain, or even change a setting to modernize a piece’s style…
Designing a creation that reflects your personality is a whole other story… It’s a way to personally and emotionally invest in a symbolic piece that you’ll wear for your entire life. This creation is conceived according to your budget, and each step of the process is validated by you (personalized consultation, sketches in gouache, wax version then gold, setting…). Expect a timeframe of 4 to 5 weeks for its realization, in a Parisian workshop.

Eugénie Viellard
Inspired by her travels around the world, nature, contemporary art, and also Paris, Eugénie Viellard creates pieces that are both organic, dreamlike, and wonderfully feminine. The process of creating bespoke jewelry unfolds in several stages. After an initial consultation for the design (type of jewelry, materials, stones, budgets, and timelines), Eugénie presents several original creations in the form of gouache drawings.
Next, she creates a wax model, sculpted to precision. Once approved, a gold casting comes to life. The artisan then delicately sets the stones onto the jewelry, hallmarks it… And voilà! Your dream creation becomes a reality!
Eugénie Viellard, 34 rue de la faisanderie, 75116 Paris
