Top jewellery brands
The number 1 jewellery brand
Every year, a study by EY-Parthenon lists the brands preferred by the French in all sectors. At the request of the marketing media, around 10,000 Internet users are asked to give their opinion on the brand they cherish the most. From these data, the label Enseigne Préféré des Français (French Favourite Brand) is derived. A total of 200 brands are evaluated in some 20 categories.
The first place in the jewellery category is awarded to Histoire d’Or. In 2021, the jewelry store has a fan base of 24.9%. It even increased by 1.5% compared to 2020, as if the crisis had strengthened the position of the leader.
First jeweller of France, Histoire d’or was born on the French Riviera with the aim of satisfying all the French and not only the most privileged. It is not surprising that the brand is popular with the French, as it is positioned as a shop accessible to all.

France’s favourite jewellery
The ring, the darling of French women
600 women were asked about their jewellery preferences. The solitaire diamond is the big winner of this survey. Indeed, 50% of French women remain classic and adore traditional jewellery with its noble gemstone. However, the models appreciated are not the same according to the age of the respondents.
In terms of model choice, contemporary style is in first place with 57% of the votes. Whereas the English women would be more fans of the round diamonds, the women of France like with 14 % the diamonds in the shape of heart, 12 % with equality for the cushion and the princess diamond and 11 % for the marquise. Women over 45 choose rectangular shapes.
Do women always want more? 70% of respondents would like to own a ring with additional side diamonds. Maybe not so much, as the ladies would be more interested in quality than quantity. 56% give more importance to the quality of the diamond and the sparkle than to its size.
White gold and silver, the most popular materials for men
What about the men in all this? Jewellery is not only for women, men are also fond of wedding rings, signet rings, bracelets and chains. The most active age group is that of young men, between 25 and 45 years old, who prefer to see jewellery in a shop rather than buy it online from e-shops, even though the latter are increasing by 20%.
According to the Tribune, white gold and silver items are the most popular. Gold has been retreating since 2014 when it had dominated the market for a long time.
