Our Services
• 3D Creations and Transformations
At Bijouterie Chichkhane, we put innovation at the service of excellence. Using the latest 3D design technologies, we create unique, custom-made jewelry with absolute precision. Our creations are crafted with exceptional materials and set with genuine certified diamonds, guaranteeing impeccable quality. In our workshops, each piece is crafted with expertise and passion, reflecting our commitment to offering the finest jewelry expertise.
By appointment, the workshop designer will spend the necessary time with you to create a design, incorporating all the details you can provide. After discussing and preparing a quote, within approximately two weeks you will have the joy of wearing a valuable, one-of-a-kind gift. Whether it's antique, pre-owned, or a signature piece, we will issue you an invoice with the calculated and weighed stone weights and the gross weight of the piece. If it consists of a main stone: diamonds over 0.50 carat are generally sold with an independent gemological certificate.
• Authenticity
Is your antique, collectible, designer, or pre-owned jewelry damaged? Too small? Or too big? Did your pearl necklace break this weekend? Has your watch stopped permanently?
Our workshops are all extremely skilled and knowledgeable.
Of course, wear and tear can sometimes be irreparable, but generally, thanks to our craftsmanship, we are able to restore your jewelry to its original quality.
For resizing, polishing, setting, or a complete inspection of your jewelry, a free estimate is provided beforehand.

• Pearl Stringing
If you no longer like the Akoya cultured pearl necklace you received for your First Communion, it's too small... it's not always necessary to buy a new one; we can rejuvenate it!
Bring it to us, and upon request, we can often make you a new one, which will have been "enlarged" (we replace the pearls that are too small with larger ones of the same color and quality), and which you can wear closer to your neck or even as a necklace!
• Appraisals
Appraisal service for sales:
You have inherited your jewelry and would like to sell it?
By appointment and in complete confidentiality, we can examine it. We then need to verify the hallmarks, calculate the weight of the stones, their constituents, and authenticate their nature.
If they bear a signature, we verify with major brands such as Cartier, van Clef et Arpels, Boucheron, Bulgari, Chaumet, and others that this signature is authentic.
Finally, if your jewelry is older, we evaluate it based on the quality of the craftsmanship, its rarity, and its condition.
If you are a seller and we are interested in your jewelry, we will be happy to make you an immediate purchase offer on site.
• Setting
Setting involves attaching a precious or semi-precious stone to a metal setting by moving a portion of the metal. Commonly used setting techniques include:
Claw setting:
Claws are metal rods extending from the setting, which the setter bends into prongs around the stone to secure it.
Bead setting:
This is a small metal shaving that is removed from the metal using a sharp chisel, without separating it from the jewelry, and then folded over the edge of the stone.
Bezel setting:
A thin sheet of precious metal surrounds the stone's recess. The sheet is folded around the entire perimeter of the stone, thus securing it to the setting.
• Gold Buying and Selling
Welcome to our store for all gold purchases and sales.
• Jewelry Manufacturing
With the prodigious selection of pre-owned and antique jewelry we offer, we are required to manufacture certain pieces.
In the case of a client who comes to sell a beautiful emerald in an old-fashioned or worn setting, we have found that the "most beautiful stone in the world," if poorly mounted, will not sell in a showcase.
In this case, we choose to remake the setting, either identically or modernized to better reflect current fashion trends.
The prices remain very attractive, of course, since the added value of a new setting is insignificant compared to the value of the item!
Diamond wedding bands are also part of our new creations.
A wedding band is, by definition, the piece of jewelry a woman never takes off! Since gold is a very malleable metal, these wedding rings are often "dead" from wear by the time they are offered to us, and we cannot guarantee our future customers that they won't lose a stone in the months following their purchase. We therefore remount wedding rings purchased second-hand and assume the product warranty we offer.
In our shop window, if your heart is torn between a solitaire diamond ring and the refined setting of another... No problem, we'll remake the setting of your dreams. Once again, the biggest prize is in the stone! Not in the metal.
