Discover the craft of the jeweller and the well-kept secrets of a world at the heart of excellence.
Discovering the jeweller's craft
Stemming from a jewellery-making background, the jeweller's craft brings to life exceptional creations and collections of jewels.
Indeed, the jeweller is a creative artisan who crafts exceptional jewellery and pieces using precious materials and following traditional and artisanal savoir-faire. A jeweller can not only create pieces but also restore them or imagine new ones from existing creations.
Jewellery making in France is an art in which many jewels (bracelets, earrings, rings, wedding bands, watches etc.) are created.
The professions in jewellery making (setting, polishing, etc.) require an eye for detail and a taste for excellence. Indeed, this allows the art of jewellery making in France to be perpetuated beyond international borders.
The jeweller's profession
The jeweller creates and repairs jewellery or pieces of significant value, set with the most beautiful precious stones and noble materials. Generally in gold, the jewellery pieces are often unique or custom-made, respecting the client's request and expectations.
The jeweller knows all the particular techniques and steps (setting, creation, polishing etc.).
It is on Place Vendôme in Paris, France, that the cradle of jewellers resides.
Indeed, the most beautiful jewellery Houses welcome numerous clients every day wishing to create unique pieces of exceptional quality.
Thus, the jeweller masters the art of creating exceptional pieces by mounting precious stones with each other. The idea is to highlight the beauty and aestheticism of the precious stones in a creation.
Differences between a jeweller and a jewellery maker
The term "jewellery maker" is a much more commonly known and used word than "jeweller". Indeed, a jewellery maker will work with all types of materials and not just the most precious. In other words, a jewellery maker will create jewellery that is not necessarily made from precious metals.
Conversely, the jeweller works only with the noblest and most precious materials to create exceptional pieces. A jeweller's pieces will be exclusively made of gold and diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and other stones of exceptional quality.
Both the jewellery maker and the jeweller create jewellery and advise their clients in the best possible way. However, the jeweller will focus much more on aesthetics, seeking only quality and what is most beautiful in the lines of the jewellery.
Furthermore, in jewellery making, the work will primarily focus on the metal, whereas in fine jewellery, it will mainly be centered on precious stones.
The idea is to work them with the utmost care to enhance their brilliance and thus, their entire beauty.
Discovering Lorenz Bäumer, a jeweller creator in Paris
The only independent jeweller on Place Vendôme, Lorenz Bäumer has been signing his creations at 19 Place Vendôme for 30 years. He gives free rein to his boundless creativity to create, surprise, and sublimate.
A graduate engineer, Lorenz Bäumer is a pioneer in many techniques introduced in jewellery. The world of jewellery holds no secrets for him, allowing him to create exceptional jewels in ever more astonishing forms, using specific metals (titanium, meteorite etc.) that transcend centuries.

Artisan jeweller and creator of exceptional jewellery: the excellence of the Parisian jeweller
Born in Washington to diplomat parents, Lorenz Bäumer's childhood was punctuated by travel. Diversity permeated the designer, whose sensibility was nurtured by a hands-on mother, who introduced him at a very young age to a certain form of craftsmanship. A graduate of Ecole Centrale de Paris, his engineering background made him a pioneer in the use of new techniques and new materials. Very quickly, he established himself as one of the greatest jewellers of the 21st century.
A lover of the arts in all their forms, he designs for numerous houses and has collaborated with many: Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Piaget, Cartier and many other luxury jewellery Houses.
Enjoying challenging traditional jewellery codes, Lorenz Bäumer loves to create, invent, and imagine new forms to bring unique and exceptional pieces to life. A lover of beauty, Lorenz Bäumer seeks only the noblest materials and the most beautiful precious stones to create breathtaking and extraordinary pieces.
Lorenz Bäumer's jewellery collections
Lorenz Bäumer draws his overflowing inspiration from his passions and daily life. Indeed, he draws inspiration from what he loves and what surrounds him. For example, the Aqua collection is inspired by the seabed, oceans, and his passion for surfing. The Battement de cœur collection draws its inspiration from his eldest son's first electrocardiogram.
Each of Lorenz Bäumer's collections tells a story that can be adapted to anyone. His unique and singular collections deliver subtle messages of love.
At his boutique at 19 Place Vendôme, it is also possible to create custom jewellery, a particularly popular option when creating wedding bands or engagement rings. Indeed, the wedding band, which symbolizes the eternal union of two beings, is even more cherished when it is unique in the world. During your appointment at the boutique, you will choose the metal color of your choice (white, rose, or black gold). For your engagement ring, you will add the stone of your choice (diamond, emerald, sapphire, or other stones). For your wedding bands, you can also choose a setting of diamonds or emeralds set on white or rose gold.
For example, the yellow gold wedding band set with emeralds or rubies is a bold yet unique creation. Push the traditional boundaries of jewellery by imagining creations such as black gold wedding bands or engagement rings instead of the traditional white or rose gold.
