Engagement Rings in Annecy

Your Laveran Showroom in Annecy

The Laveran showroom in Annecy is located at 3, rue Dupanloup, right in the city center, in the area of the Préfecture and the Cité administrative, a few minutes' walk from the Pâquier and the lakeshore. It receives visitors by appointment only: choosing your engagement ring in Annecy thus happens in a calm setting, with an expert who devotes their full attention to you.

Allow about an hour. You discover the diamonds under a loupe, compare the shapes – round, oval, cushion, pear, emerald cut, princess, marquise or heart – and the three qualities we offer: H/VS2, F/VS1 and D/VVS1. You try on settings in 18k yellow, white or rose gold, or in 950 platinum, to see how each ring looks on the hand. We talk openly about your budget and, if you have an idea all your own, about the possibilities of a custom creation.

Do you live farther away, in Switzerland or elsewhere in Savoie? The same guidance is available by video call. In every case, the appointment comes with no obligation, and an expert will call you back to confirm the time slot: simply book an appointment.

Why Choose a Lab-Grown Diamond

Grown in a laboratory rather than in a mine, this diamond shares everything with its mined equivalent: the same composition of pure carbon, the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, the same optical properties. Only specialized laboratory equipment can tell them apart. The term lab-created diamond, often used, refers to this very stone – a real diamond whose origin is simply different. Every Laveran diamond is IGI or GIA certified, with a laser-inscribed number as proof.

Choosing a lab-grown diamond in Annecy is also a considered decision: for the same size and quality, it costs significantly less, which lets you favor the stone you truly love, and it requires no mining. Before your visit, our diamond guide helps you understand cut, color and clarity; our jeweler in Annecy will then show them to you concretely, under a loupe.

Engagement Rings to Discover at the Annecy Showroom

A few models to try during your appointment:

• Montaigne Six-Prong Ring: the timeless elegance of the solitaire, from €880 (0.30 ct, H/VS2).
• Opéra Solitaire Ring: another take on the solitaire, to compare on the finger with the Montaigne.
• Vendôme Ring: a round diamond on a pavé band, for a ring that sparkles all the way around.
• Montaigne Heart Ring: the heart cut, for a declaration that says everything without a word.
• Palais Royal Ring: a model to try on to judge its proportions on the hand.

The entire engagement ring collection can be explored online before your visit. Think about the wedding band as well: in Annecy, you can try our diamond wedding bands, such as the Vendôme Wedding Band or the Montaigne Wedding Band, from around €860. For a touch of color, some models are available with blue, pink or yellow colored diamonds, and our custom workshop is there for you if you dream of a one-of-a-kind piece.

Each piece is made to order, in 2 to 3 weeks, then delivered free of charge – insured delivery, handed to you in person – or collected at the Annecy showroom. Engraving is complimentary, resizing is free for life, and complimentary refinishing is offered every 18 months. Your purchases come with a lifetime warranty and may be returned within 30 days, satisfied or your money back. Payment can be made by credit card, by PayPal or in installments with Alma.

Proposing in Annecy

Between lake and mountains, a marriage proposal in Annecy naturally finds its setting. Four places to consider:

• The Pont des Amours: between the Pâquier and the Jardins de l'Europe, above the Vassé canal, it opens onto the lake, the Île des Cygnes and Mont Veyrier; legend has it that lovers who kiss in the middle of the bridge stay together for life.
• The Pâquier at sunset: a few minutes from the showroom, this large lakeside esplanade is more peaceful off-season, when the evening light skims the water.
• A dinner cruise aboard the Libellule: the lake glides by while you dine at a table well spaced from the others, perfect for bringing out the ring case at dessert.
• The Col de la Forclaz: from this lookout, Lake Annecy reveals itself in full – a panorama worthy of the moment.

Our advice: come to the showroom first to determine the size, or request our complimentary ring sizer, sent on request so you can measure discreetly. Above all, allow for the 2- to 3-week crafting time before your chosen date – and, if needed, resizing remains free for life.
