40 Years of Expertise at Your Service
For nearly four decades, Gemme has been the trusted destination for exquisite second-hand jewelry.

With a decade of experience and a commitment to excellence, the team is ready to serve you.
A Glance at Their Expertise
The team comprises experts in gemology, jewelry design, historical jewelry eras, precious metals, and the art of responsible trade. In their two Lyon boutiques, they carefully evaluate, restore, and showcase over 2,000 second-hand jewelry pieces, spanning various styles and epochs.
Embrace Sustainable Choices
At Gemme, it’s not just about jewelry; it’s about conscious living. If you’re looking to sell your gold and pre-owned jewelry, they offer complimentary appraisals and provide the best market prices, payable immediately. For those in search of a unique second-hand piece, Gemme presents a stunning selection of treasures, from the Napoleonic era to contemporary designs, all priced 30% to 60% lower than their new counterparts. By choosing Gemme, you actively participate in a sustainable, locally-driven economy, reducing energy and resource consumption.
Craftsmanship and Circular Economy
Gemme’s commitment to craftsmanship means that every 18-carat gold piece they sell is meticulously refurbished in their workshop or in Lyon-based studios just a stone’s throw away from their boutiques. Any gold they can’t repurpose is entrusted to Lyon’s master refiners, who melt it down into pure gold, ready for reuse in new jewelry creations.
Unlock the Beauty of Second-Hand Jewelry
Why should 18-carat gold and precious gemstones be reserved for an elite few? At Gemme, they’re on a mission to make fine jewelry accessible to everyone without compromising on quality or authenticity. Their second-hand jewelry pieces are unique, renovated, certified, and backed by a one-year warranty. Most importantly, they are offered at prices 30% to 60% lower than new pieces. Each piece is evaluated based on market prices and current manufacturing costs, ensuring you always get a great deal.
Join the Precious Circle of Jewelry
The second-hand movement has become an essential part of many aspects of our lives, and at Gemme, they’ve embraced this circular economy philosophy since 1985. Through second-hand jewelry, they breathe new life into your gold and cherished pieces. Their restoration work includes cleaning, inspecting, polishing, rhodium plating, stone setting, and repairing damaged sections of 18-carat gold jewelry. When they buy old gold or jewelry beyond repair, they entrust the scrap to their refining partners, experts in precious metals. They transform it into pure gold, ready to be used in new creations or investment gold. By choosing Gemme, you’re part of a sustainable economy that consumes about 20 times less energy than the production of new jewelry—a virtuous and precious circle indeed.
