About Piaget Purchase
Leave it to us to purchase your Piaget items! In 1874, founder Georges-Édouard Piaget opened his first watch workshop on the Piaget family farm in la Côte -aux-Fées, a small village in the Jura Mountains. He was passionate about pocket watches and high precision movements, and received orders from numerous famous watch brands, such that the name of Piaget quickly surpassed even that of Neuchâtel in terms of fame and reputation. In 1911, Georges- Édouard’s son, Timothée Piaget, took over the company and carried on the manufacturing of wristwatches. Following that, Georges-Édouard’s grandsons, Gerald Piaget and Valentin Piaget registered Piaget as a trademark and began manufacturing timepieces under that name.
Its watch movements are incredibly compact and delicate, creating pieces that are both watches and jewelry at the same time. Its decorated dials etc. that are exquisite enough to be jewelry in its own right captivated the heart of the world. In 1959, they opened a jewelry boutique and began to focus more on jewelry collections. At the jewelry workshop, gemstones that have undergone a strict selection process by certified inspectors are hand-cut, polished and set by skilled craftsmen to produce jewels of the very finest quality.
Like the watches, impeccable technical skill is coupled with abundant creativity to create jewelry collections that are loved by many celebs including Hollywood actresses. Of these, the Possession Collection, which is a series centered around the theme of love launched in 1990, has become the brands representative collection. It is highly popular as wedding jewelry, as it expresses the passionate desire to possess and be possessed by one’s beloved. In 2001, a new factory was established in Plan-les-Ouates, near Geneva, gathering more than 40 watch and jewelry specialists in order to produce the finest timepieces. With over 130 years of history as an in-house manufacturer, Piaget is known as the "Jeweler of Watches" for its history and tradition in the mastery of watchmaking as well as creativity in its jewelry collections.
Its bold, distinctive, and elegant jewelry is admired by people around the world. Jewel Cafe is on a campaign to strengthen our purchasing of Piaget jewelry. We are not only actively looking to purchase items that are in good condition, but also pieces that are outdated, do not have certification, or have scratches etc., so you are most welcome to bring them in for appraisal.
