Foreign investors can also enter the French jewelry market by setting up shops in one of the country’s large cities.

Online jewelry shops can also be set up in France, provided that the business owner buys a domain name.

Are there any special requirements to set up a French jewelry business?

Before starting the company registration procedure, the business owner will need to find a suitable location for the jewelry shop. This implies having market visibility and easy access for customers. After that, the company can be registered and a business license must be obtained from the French Trade Register. Sole traders must also register with the Companies Register and obtain certain licenses.  Among these licenses are import permits, if precious metals or other materials used for the manufacture of jewels are imported.

Once the French jewelry business is up and running, it should be properly promoted in order to have a large database of clients, especially in the case of small shops.
