These collections are crafted using rare and precious gemstones, showcasing intricate designs that require meticulous, skilled craftsmanship. Each piece is not only a work of art but also a collector's item due to its limited availability and unique characteristics.

As we specialize in selling vintage Chopard jewelry pieces, customization or special orders are not possible through our collection. Vintage items are valued for their historical authenticity and unique characteristics from the time they were originally crafted. Altering or customizing these pieces would detract from their intrinsic value and the collectibility that makes vintage jewelry so sought after. 

However, if you're interested in a piece that reflects personal style or specific preferences, exploring Chopard’s contemporary collections might be a suitable alternative. Chopard does offer options for customization and special orders through their official boutiques and authorized dealers, where you can create or modify jewelry to suit your tastes while enjoying the brand's hallmark of luxury and craftsmanship. 

To care for and maintain your Chopard jewelry or watch, regularly clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and debris. For a deeper clean, use a mild soapy water solution and a soft brush, being careful around delicate parts and gemstones.  

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and rough activities that could damage the piece. It's also advisable to store your Chopard items in a separate, soft-lined box to prevent scratches. Periodic professional inspections and servicing, especially for watches, are recommended to ensure functional integrity and to address any potential issues promptly.
