DAVIDOR is proud to be 100% Made in France.

Each DAVIDOR creation has a unique serial number. 

All DAVIDOR jewelry is engraved “Made in France” and “Joaillerie de France” to certify its origin of production. 

In addition, DAVIDOR jewelry features the following hallmark engravings: DAVIDOR Paris, AU750 or 950 for Platinum, Serial Number, and Copyright (©).  DAVIDOR jewelry is crafted by hand and intended to be worn daily or occasionally depending on the creation. 

DAVIDOR works exclusively with precious metals including 18k Gold (AU750) and Platinum (950).  In addition, DAVIDOR works with fine, semi-precious and precious gemstones and natural diamonds as well as lacquer.  Some of our jewelry is offered on non-precious materials such as leather, silk, cord and alternative materials (details always provided on product page).
DAVIDOR only uses the finest quality of natural diamonds and gemstones. 

The patented DAVIDOR Arch Cut Diamond is exclusively available in sizes 0.10ct – 0.80ct+ in DEF Color, VVS1+ Clarity and Very Good to Excellent Cut.  DAVIDOR Arch Cut Diamonds over 0.30ct are certified by GIA and have two engravings on their girdle.  The first engraving is DAVIDOR and the second is the GIA Certificate Number.  At the time of purchase, DAVIDOR will provide you with your GIA Certificate. 

DAVIDOR also uses other shapes of natural diamonds (rounds, pear shapes, emerald cut, cushion, and other fancy cuts) and applies our strict quality guidelines to each stone.  For all non-Arch Cut Diamonds, DAVIDOR uses F+ Color, VVS+ Clarity and Very Good to Excellent Cut and provides a GIA Certificate for all stones 0.30ct or larger.

Many of DAVIDOR’s creations feature DAVIDOR Arch Cut Gemstones and other shapes/cuts of precious, semi-precious and fine gemstones.  Some precious gemstones may include a certificate completed by highly respected gem labs.  Gemstones with certification are noted at time of sale both online and in DAVIDOR Boutiques.  DAVIDOR uses best efforts and strict quality guidelines to ensure that gemstones have not undergone any enhancement, treatment, oiling or heating. 

The customer will be notified of any signs of enhancement to stones detected by DAVIDOR.

One of DAVIDOR’s greatest know-hows it the art of lacquer.  Lacquer is used often in DAVIDOR creations and most recognized in the L’Arc de DAVIDOR collection.  Each color of lacquer and its composition are created in our atelier exclusively for DAVIDOR. 

Once the lacquer color has been created, our artisans carefully apply the lacquer to each piece of jewelry by hand creating a work of art.  DAVIDOR’s lacquer includes a high percentage of ceramic making it very durable and easy to wear.
DAVIDOR quality controls 100% of its jewelry creations by hand and uses a jeweler’s loupe of to ensure the highest quality standards.

DAVIDOR offers jewelry cleaning and polishing services. To learn more about these services, please visit a DAVIDOR Boutique, DAVIDOR Authorized Retailer or by contacting DAVIDOR Customer Service at +1 954 356 1932 or +33 (0) 1 42 86 88 22 or emailcustomerservice@davidor.com.

DAVIDOR suggests that your cleaning and polishing services are completed by DAVIDOR in order to insure the highest care for your jewelry. 

It is important to note that DAVIDOR’s 18k White Gold is nickel free and is rhodium-plated.  Rhodium, which comes from the platinum family, is a precious metal and must be removed before polishing and replaced after polishing.  Rhodium plating ensures that your piece of jewelry has a brilliant white shine.

Although DAVIDOR suggests that you have your jewelry checked, cleaned or polished each year, we do not suggest excessive polishing as the process removes a layer of metal each time the operation is completed.  It is suggested that a “complete” polishing is only done to a piece one to three times in its life.  A DAVIDOR Customer Service representative is available to advise you on the after sales service recommended for your piece of jewelry.

DAVIDOR offers jewelry sizing services.  Not all DAVIDOR jewelry can be sized.  Collections such as L’Arc de DAVIDOR cannot be sized.  To find out if your piece of DAVIDOR jewelry can be sized, please visit a DAVIDOR Boutique, DAVIDOR Authorized Retailer or by contacting DAVIDOR Customer Service at +1 954 356 1932 or +33 (0) 1 42 86 88 22 or email customerservice@davidor.com.
