What does the hallmark on a piece of jewellery mean?

In France, objects made of gold, silver, platinum or palladium are required to carry a hallmark, or poinçon, which shows the metal and its fineness. Ask the jeweller to show you the mark on a piece. Items marked as plated or fashion jewellery (bijoux fantaisie) are not precious metal.

Can a jeweller resize a ring or repair a watch?

Many can resize rings, repair clasps and change watch batteries or straps, while complex watch repairs may be sent out to a specialist workshop. Bring the item, ask for a quote in writing and an estimate of the turnaround, and ask whether the repair is guaranteed.

A jeweller is a bijouterie (for jewellery in general) or a joaillerie (more focused on stones and fine pieces). Many also sell watches (horlogerie) and offer repairs such as resizing a ring, resetting a stone or changing a watch battery or strap.

Things worth asking about:

Metal and purity: in France, items in gold, silver or platinum carry an official hallmark (poinçon)
Gemstones: natural or lab-created, and whether a certificate exists
Repairs and resizing: cost and turnaround time, quoted before work starts
Whether they buy old gold (rachat d’or), and how it is priced

Keep your invoice and any certificate, as they matter for insurance and resale.
