Is Chopard jewelry worth it?
1 Answer

Many jewelry lovers believe that Chopard jewelry is worth it. In 1963, Chopard was acquired by German goldsmith and watchmaker Karl Scheufele III and his wife, Karin. Under their ownership, Chopard added jewelry to its offerings.
The popular Happy Diamonds wristwatch debuted in 1976, launching a collection that now features bracelets, rings and other items. Chopard also has several other iconic jewelry collections, including Ice Cube, Precious Lace and L'Heure de Diamant. While styles vary, all Chopard pieces result from the painstaking work of skilled artisans and feature fine materials, such as carefully selected diamonds, emeralds and sapphires.
However, whether or not it’s worth investing in Chopard jewelry is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection.

By Chopard
Located in PARIS, FR
Chopard Genève L.U.C Ref. 810 – 18K Yellow Gold & Diamond Jewelry Watch – Circa 1980
Rare and elegant Chopard Genève L.U.C Ref. 810, crafted entirely in 18K yellow gold and produced circa 1980.
This refined jewelry watch perfectly illustrates Chopard's distinctive approach to luxury watchmaking during the late twentieth century, combining precious materials, sophisticated design and traditional mechanical watchmaking.
The watch features a beautifully executed integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet with a satin finish, demonstrating the exceptional jewelry craftsmanship for which Chopard is renowned. Its supple construction and harmonious proportions allow it to be worn as both a fine timepiece and an elegant piece of jewelry.
The minimalist gold-tone dial is enhanced by applied gold hour markers and slender baton hands, preserving the watch's understated elegance. Surrounding the dial is a bezel set with 32 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 1 carat, providing a refined sparkle while maintaining the overall balance of the design.
Powering the watch is the hand-wound Chopard calibre 2512 RZ, a reliable mechanical movement that complements the traditional character of the piece.
The 26 mm case offers elegant proportions and excellent wearability, while the integrated bracelet creates a seamless visual flow characteristic of the most successful jewelry watch designs of the period.
The watch was fully serviced in May 2026 and is running perfectly.
