Paris: the romantic City of Light...and jewellery?

Paris has a long history of manufacturing jewellery. In the 17th century, the diamond boom led to the creation of the French jewellery industry, with the arrival of precious stones in the following century only boosting its momentum. Over the years, specialist colleges opened to train an expert workforce in making high-quality jewellery.

During this time, the French capital also strengthened its reputation as a leading centre of luxury and jewellery, which it still retains today. As such, Paris is a wonderful place to find a fine jeweller for a unique stone or to have your engagement ring made!

Place Vendôme and nearby: a true jewellery quarter

The traditional surroundings of Place Vendôme are a must-see if you are visiting the City of Light. As this is one of the world's most famous and luxurious squares, it is no wonder this area of Paris is home to the capital's leading jewellers for engagement rings, plus manufacturers of other bespoke products and top fashion labels.

Where is BAUNAT's Paris showroom?

It was only natural that BAUNAT would open a showroom in Paris; the Belgian brand has been in the capital for several years now. The BAUNAT showroom is on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré (the city's most luxurious shopping street), right by Place Vendôme. This means that this luxury jewellery is a great spot for finding your perfect engagement ring.

While BAUNAT has a uniquely vast range of engagement rings online, a visit to the Paris showroom can provide individual support. BAUNAT is open by appointment to help you find the perfect diamond engagement ring.

Frequently asked Questions

Can I purchase a jewel in the showroom and take it immediately with me?

A visit to our showroom is on appointment only. It is in most cases not possible to take the jewel immediately with you if you decide to purchase it during your visit, since we start the production process of our diamond jewellery once we received the payment. Thanks to this production on demand, we are able to deliver high quality diamond jewellery at an exceptional price/quality ratio. After having received your payment, our craftsmen in Antwerp manufacture your diamond jewel by hand. This allows us to offer the high artisanal quality that BAUNAT stands for. By creating unique jewels by hand, we can finish the jewel in much more detail, and reach a clearly visible higher quality compared to a jewel of mass production. The production process of a jewel listed on www.baunat.com usually takes 1-10 working days, depending on the specific design and the material. For a tailor-made design jewel, you need to calculate approximately 4 working weeks. However, in very few cases, the jewel or loose diamond is in stock in the showroom, and can be taken immediately with you after we have received your payment.

During the production process, you will be kept up-to-date on every step. An estimated delivery date will be communicated to you as soon as the jewel is ready for quality control.

After the production process is completed, we can send the jewels by insured shipment to an address of your choice, or you can pick up the jewel in our showroom.

 

Can I propose with the standard BAUNAT packaging?

BAUNAT diamond jewels are packed in beautiful jewellery gift packaging. This packaging includes a BAUNAT jewellery box, shopping bag, guarantee card and cleaning cloth. 
With its black velvet lining, a classy creamy cover, and a smooth texture, our standard BAUNAT ring box is perfect for your proposal.

Just as with our diamond jewellery, only the best materials are used for our packaging. 

The different designs in BAUNAT’s engagement ring selection

At BAUNAT, our engagement ring selection has something for everybody.

 

1. Solitaire ring

 

Solitaire rings are the most popular choice for diamond engagement rings — for good reason. By putting a single diamond at the centre of a ring, it will be the centre of attention.

The most common setting for a solitaire ring is the classic six-prong. This setting has six prongs, also called claws, which hold the diamond firmly in place. By holding the diamond like this instead of setting it into the band, it has more room, meaning increased brilliance.

This traditional setting is not your only option for engagement rings; there are other possibilities for solitaire rings and even completely different ring designs as well, such as a pave setting

 

2. Solitaire with side diamonds

When there are small diamonds set on the ring band of a solitaire ring, it’s called ‘Solitaire with side diamonds’. The small diamonds on the ring band accentuate the brilliance of the central diamond. It enhances the sparkle of the large diamond and makes it look even larger.

 

3. Eternity ring

With an eternity ring, a series of small diamonds cover the entire surface of a piece of jewellery. The diamonds are set closely together so that no metal is seen, and only the diamonds are visible. This is truly breathtaking as all you can see are rows of shining diamonds with no spaces between them.

 

4. Trilogy ring

 

A trilogy ring is a ring set with three diamonds and stands for ‘the past, present and future’.

If you choose three diamonds, the best option is to have one central larger diamond to attract all the attention and let it be assisted by two smaller diamonds. If you prefer some colour, you can also choose a coloured gemstone or coloured diamond as a central diamond.

 

5. Toi et Moi

‘Toi et Moi’ means ‘You and Me’ in French and refers to a ring that has two diamonds. This design represents the intertwining of two souls and is, therefore, a popular choice for engagement rings. The two stones can also represent two hearts eternally joined, which is proof of an ‘unbreakable’ couple.

The closeness of both stones and the fact they’re of the same shape and size suggest balance and equity.

This style can also be set with one coloured gemstone or coloured diamond, in case you or your loved one prefers a hint of colour in your/their jewellery.

 

6. Halo

A halo diamond ring is a ring with smaller diamonds encircling the centre stone. The term ‘halo’ is used because the centre stone looks like it has a halo. The main benefit of the halo design is that it makes the central gemstone or diamond look larger.

While halo ring settings are typically set with diamonds as the centre stone, this isn't always the case. The central diamond can also be changed by a blue sapphire, green emerald, red ruby or other gemstones.

The gemstone can have a round cut, cushion cut, pear cut, or other shapes.

You can explore our full engagement ring selection on our website. If you would like to create a tailor-made design, don’t hesitate to contact our experts (info@baunat.com) for more information.
