About Chopard
Chopard was founded in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard in Sonvilier, in the Swiss Jura, as a watchmaking workshop. It later moved to Geneva, and since 1963 it has been owned by the Scheufele family, who extended it into jewellery.
In 1976 the house introduced Happy Diamonds, in which diamonds move freely between two sapphire crystals; the idea now runs through its jewellery. Check that the moving diamonds travel freely and the crystal is unscratched. Each listing states the condition grade and what comes with the piece.
