Buy a natural diamond in Paris during your visit

You are visiting Paris and want to buy a certified natural diamond or a bespoke engagement ring. Here is everything you need to know — and how to book your private appointment before you arrive.

Shopping at Galeries Lafayette, rue de la Paix or Place Vendôme? Just a few steps from the Opéra, you'll find a diamond dealer trained in Antwerp — with Antwerp prices, in Paris.
⚠ The most important thing: don't wait. Well-priced, high-quality natural diamonds — especially fancy colors and exceptional D-color stones — are reserved quickly. Several clients who hesitated came back a few days later to find the stone was no longer available. The earlier you make contact, the more options I can prepare for your visit.

How a visit works — 4 steps

The stone first, the setting second

My priority — and my recommendation — is always to choose the right stone first. A diamond is a geological rarity; a setting can always be changed, upgraded or remade later. When you visit, I will present a selection of certified natural diamonds (GIA, HRD or IGI) matching your criteria. You can examine them under a loupe, compare them side by side, and take your time without any pressure.

For the setting: I work with a catalogue of high-quality Antwerp-crafted mounts — solitaires, halos, vintage styles — that you can browse and pre-select online before your visit. Subject to availability and manufacturing time, it may be possible to have a setting ready during your stay. I will confirm this when we discuss your project and timeline.

French VAT refund for non-EU visitors

Good news if you are visiting from outside the EU. Non-EU residents are eligible for a French VAT refund (détaxe) on purchases of €100 or more. The effective refund on a diamond purchase typically represents 12 to 17% of the total price — a significant saving. I will guide you through the paperwork, which is straightforward and processed at the airport before departure.
