Le Savoir-Faire
Le Savoir Faire: Craftsmanship
The finest jewelers in our historical Parisian atelier craft each piece of DAVIDOR jewelry by hand. Using the most advanced technologies with ancient artisan know how, DAVIDOR proudly certifies all of it’s creations with a Joaillerie de France stamp, guaranteeing that it is a 100% ‘Made in France’ product.
DAVIDOR is proud to have designed, developed, and patented the DAVIDOR Arch Cut Diamond and DAVIDOR Arch Cut Gemstones in our diamond and gem cutting atelier in Paris. Every creation is born from a “croquis” or sketch, hand painted as a traditional gouache, carved in wax, and ultimately brought to life in 18k gold and platinum.
The finest diamonds and gemstones are set by hand on each piece using the meticulous scrutiny and quality control to ensure a beautiful and sparkling creation. The ancient savior faire of lacquered ceramic is applied by hand to each piece and polished to perfection. DAVIDOR takes great pride in supporting and perpetuating the art of skilled jewelers that are so deeply rooted in Paris.

Le Savoir-Faire: Lacquered Ceramic
One of DAVIDOR’s greatest know-hows is the art of lacquered ceramic. Lacquered ceramic is often used in DAVIDOR creations and is widely recognized in the L’Arc de DAVIDOR collection. Each color of lacquered ceramic and it’s composition are created in our atelier exclusively for DAVIDOR. Once the lacquered ceramic color has been created, our artisans carefully apply the lacquered ceramic to each piece of jewelry by hand, creating a work of art. DAVIDOR’s lacquered ceramic is very durable and easy to wear.
DAVIDOR has created 16 unique colors of lacquered ceramic inspired by Davidor’s personal travels and passions.
