FAQS

OUR JEWELLERY

What is Les Georgettes?

Les Georgettes is an innovative, registered and patented concept of customisable jewellery and accessories with interchangeable leather and fluid-perspex inserts. In just a few seconds, you can customise your jewellery or accessory to match your outfit, your handbag or your mood!

Where are Les Georgettes jewellery pieces made?

As France's largest jewellery manufacturer, Maison Altesse manufactures the majority of its jewellery in its workshops in the Ardèche region in South-East France. In the heart of the so-called "jewellery valley" (vallée du bijou), 250 craftsmen create our jewellery pieces, true artists who are passionate about their craft, and whose exceptional expertise has been passed down from one generation to the next for more than a century. Each piece of jewellery is unique and imbued with this exceptional know-how.

Are the Les Georgettes workshops in France open to public tours?

Unfortunately, at the moment we don't offer guided tours of our workshops. However, if you're nearby, you can head to our outlet shop in Le Cheylard. This shop is  open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10am-11.45am and 2.30pm and 6.45pm, and located at the following address: 6 Avenue de Saunier, 07160 Le Cheylard, France.

What if I can’t find the piece of jewellery I’m looking for on your website?

Our mission is to best satisfy our customers’ needs. However, if you do not find the jewellery piece you are looking for on the Les Georgettes website, it is possible that it is no longer in stock or that it has simply been discontinued.

What are your jewellery pieces and leather inserts made of?

We do everything within our power to create high-quality jewellery pieces for you, imbued with our French manufacturing know-how. Our jewellery pieces are made from brass and plated with gold, rose gold or silver rhodium. Our leather inserts are made from genuine cowhide, except for our glitter inserts, which are made from fabric.

What sizes do your pieces come in?

Les Georgettes bracelets for women are available in 2 sizes: Medium (Les Essentielles) and Large (Les Essentielles +). 

  • Size Medium bracelets (Les Essentielles) usually fit wrists measuring 14 to 16.5cm in circumference. These bracelets are available in 8mm, 14mm, 25mm and 40mm widths.
  • Size Large bracelets (Les Essentielles +) are adapted to larger wrists, measuring between 17 and 20cm in circumference. These bracelets are also available in 8mm, 14mm, 25mm and 40mm widths.

Rings: 

  • Our Les Essentielles rings are adjustable and are available in three sizes: Small (European ring size 50-52), Medium (European ring size 56-58), Large (European ring size 58-60)
  • Our Les Précieuses rings are not adjustable and are available in five sizes: 52, 54, 56, 58, 60

Why does my leather insert/jewellery piece look different from the picture shown online?

We work hard to provide you with the most accurate photos of our pieces as possible. For example, you may notice some subtle differences in shades of colour between what's shown on-screen and the actual leather insert you receive. All our leather inserts are made from authentic and genuine leather, making our jewellery pieces so unique.

Some fluid-perspex colours seem to look alike. Why is that?

It can seem this way as the material used for fluid-perspex has fewer colour shade options than leather. 

If you're not satisfied with the colour of the insert you've ordered, please contact our customer service team through our contact form to return your item and receive a refund.

Is my jewellery covered by guarantee?

In accordance with European legislation, Les Georgettes jewellery pieces come with a 2 year guarantee. Ageing, loss and breakage are not covered by this guarantee.

Our jewellery pieces are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity as well as the manufacturer guarantee. For further information on this, please refer to our General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
