FABRICATION & COMPOSITION OF THE JEWELRY

Where are the Gas Bijoux jewels made?

The Gas Bijoux collections are handmade, mostly in our Marseilles atelier. We also collaborate with artisans whose craft is recognized, as well as subcontractors that operate on certain specific procedures.
In all these workshops, the choice of high-quality materials, experimented artisans, and the extreme care delivered to each fabrication stage of our jewelry, perpetuate and renew our unique savoir-faire in the domain of luxury jewelry.
Man’s gesture is present at each stage. Each piece of jewelry bears the GAS BIJOUX label: proportions, color assemblies, compositions, balance (in particular in the making of earrings) call on an expertise and a specific technique. The same care is given to all fabrication stages, each ring selected, each pearl is chosen according to its size and glow.

Thus, a repair will take time in terms of research and craft, in order to deliver its initial spark.

What is the composition of the Gas Bijoux jewelry?

Most pieces are made in gilt metal (layer of 2 24K gold microns) or silvery metal (layer of 10 to 20 silver microns). Their brass base is covered with a layer of bronze for gold, and brass for silver. Some pieces are made with pure 925 silver. The jewels are treated in order to limit allergy issues and they do not contain nickel.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

How can I contact the After-Sale service?

You can contact our After-Sale service via our contact form https://www.gasbijoux.com/contact.html (request type: After-Sale Service – repair request)

Which pieces can be given for repair?

As an artisanal company, we offer an exceptional After-Sale service that enables the repair of most Gas Bijoux jewels (except for pieces that are now irreplaceable). We are committed to repairing your jewels years after their purchase, so that you can keep them the longest possible.

What are the delays for After-Sales service/Repairs?

For simple After-Sale procedures such as the bonding of a strass, or the cleaning of a barrel, except during the holiday season or exceptional periods, you can count on a delay of 15 days approximatively. For more complex After-Sale procedures (the replacement of a serti-stone, re-gilding, welding…), except during the holiday season or exceptional periods, you can count on a delay of 4 to 8 weeks approximately. These repairs are handled by our artisans in our Marseille atelier.

What is the After-Sale service policy of warranty?

Our jewels are covered by a two-year warranty, valid from the purchase date. This warranty covers all defaults and defects. However, a breakage or deterioration due to an improper handling will not be covered by the warranty and will result in costs according to the required work. Link bracelets are excluded from this warranty.

What is the pricing policy of the After-Sale service?

In order to know the cost of a repair, we suggest you send a quote request to our After-Sales service department via our contact form https://www.gasbijoux.com/contact.html (request type: After-Sales service – repair request). Do not forget to attach one or two photographs in order to enable us to precisely answer in the shortest delay.

The crystals and the stones get detached, what should I do?

If a sequin or a stone gets detached (after a shock for instance) you shouldn't use strong glue since it definitely alters the jewel and we can't then guarantee the repair. We ask you to rather leave the jewel in one of our stores or to send it to our Customer Service Department where the best will be done to meet your expectations.

How do you explain the After-Sale costs of some procedures that seem simple such as the bonding of a strass?

Each jewel sent to our After-Sale service, in our Marseille atelier, will first be cleaned with professional machinery, then the silver layer of the strass as well as the residual adhesive will be grinded, in order to leave the area clean for the re-fitting of the strass, the size and color of the strass must be identical, a research by our artisans is necessary for all our After-Sale Service.


INFORMATION ON THE WEAR AND SAFETY OF CHILDREN'S JEWELRY

We are delighted by your interest in our children’s creations and we hope they will please their happy little recipient.
For an optimal adjustment, we recommend a minimum age of 5 years old for the bracelets and 7 years old for the necklaces.
However, if you wish to offer this jewelry to a child that would be less than 3 years old, we advise the jewelry should only be worn under the supervision of an adult. Small objects can indeed potentially be swallowed.


CARE INSTRUCTIONS

How can I preserve/protect my Gas Bijoux jewelry?

In order to preserve the radiance of your jewels, it is necessary to avoid contact with water, humidity and perfume. Perfume, cosmetics, alcohol, chemicals, lemon and further acids, as well as salty water, and especially chlorine, are harmful to your jewelry.
It is advised to put your make-up and perfume on before your jewelry.
It is not advised to wear your jewelry when sleeping, swimming, or when practicing sports.

Many of our creations bear delicate materials: authentic feathers, enamels, mother-of-pearls, natural stones and leathers. It is thus indispensable to avoid alcoholic products, otherwise you will irreversibly see these materials tarnish yellow.
The warranty will not cover these damages independent from the fabrication

Leather is a noble material that gets old and takes on a natural patina with time. Regarding the bracelets with straps: the nylon strap can be in contact with water. However we recommend that it shouldn't be recurrent and long-lasting since it could alter the metal parts.

How can I care for my Gas Bijoux jewelry?

Your jewelry will bear a lovely patina with time, this is normal. Patina (the golden or silver layer) will tend to disappear with time. The delay in which it will disappear depends on how you care for the jewelry. A diminishing patina is the result of a completely normal wear.

Jewelry naturally oxidizes with air and humidity. We recommend to regularly wash them by delicately rubbing them with a soft and dry cloth to remove oxidation marks. To avoid oxidation, keep the jewelry in a bag or box, away from air.

With a supple brush, we recommend that you from time to time wash the jewelry with cold and soapy water in order to remove accumulated deposits (salty water, chlorin, solar oils) then thoroughly rinse them with clear cold water. Carefully dry them with a dry and soft cloth. Do not use warm water, only cold, or lukewarm water.

Care tips for feathers : we recommend rubbing them gently with a soft, dry toothbrush.

Care tips for stones and mother-of-pearl: These materials do not like sudden changes in temperature and can be treated with a small amount of monoi on a chamois.

Can I give you my jewelry in order to clean it, re-silver or re-gild it?

If, despite your care, your jewelry remains “blacken”, and except for link bracelets, we can wash them in a special barrel bath (chargeable service). To do so, visit a Gas Bijoux shop or contact the customer service via our contact form:
https://www.gasbijoux.com/contact.html https://www.gasbijoux.com/contact (request type: After-Sale Service – repair request.)

Damp cleaning cloths are also very effective, you can order them on our website.

Except for link bracelets, it is also possible to re-silver or re-gild a jewel, charged service, in our Marseille atelier.

Can I replace the string on string bracelets ?

It is possible to change the tie of the bracelets (depending on the availability of the colours) in the Gas Bijoux boutiques. The fee to change the tie is 15 euros (macramé 18€).
