Professional website for jewellers and goldsmiths

The German jeweller and goldsmith trade is one of the most traditional and at the same time most regulatorily dense professions in retail: around 8,000 jeweller, goldsmith and watchmaker businesses, a hybrid structure of licence-required craft (goldsmith in Anlage A No. 25 HwO, silversmith No. 26, engraving trade No. 31 - each with compulsory master qualification) and retail under one roof, plus several legal frameworks acting in parallel: the German Anti-Money-Laundering Act (§ 2 (1) No. 10 GwG for dealers in goods, with the 2,000 EUR threshold for precious metals since 2020), the Act on the Fineness of Gold and Silver Wares (EdelmetallG), the revised Price Indication Regulation (PAngV 2022, 30-day rule), the UWG labelling regime for lab-grown diamonds, and GDPR plus § 4 BDSG for in-store video surveillance. A good jeweller website shows the craft depth, differentiates between wedding-ring seekers, gift buyers, repair and service customers and gold-sellers - and deliberately does not build an in-house shop, an in-house payment processing or an ID-scan archive on our systems.

Presenting material, pricing and services with restraint

The website takes material descriptions, alloys, gemstone details, prices and workshop services from records approved by the business. It does not invent origin, value or authenticity claims. Statements with legal or gemmological significance receive review by the business or qualified specialists before publication.

For bespoke work, the page explains the general path from consultation and design to selection and quotation. It promises neither a fixed final price nor future value. Identity checks, payment, documentation and other internal duties remain entirely within the established processes and specialist systems of the business.

Data-minimizing contact paths and accessible presentation form part of the technical foundation. A separately agreed form may send a general callback request, but it does not accept valuation documents or sensitive evidence. Individual assessment remains with the jeweller and specialist advisors.

Shop integration, wedding-ring configurators and jeweller ERP: sensible demarcation

We deliberately do not build an in-house jeweller shop with shopping cart, online payment and shipping. This is not an arbitrary restriction but the result of a clear risk assessment: a jewellery shop touches PCI-DSS for card payment, PSD2 and 3D-Secure, the button solution under § 312j BGB, distance selling withdrawal rights with the exceptions for customised goods (§ 312g (2) No. 1 BGB - highly relevant for engraved or customer-specified rings), the GwG diligence duties for cash-equivalent transactions above 2,000 EUR and, for high-value shipments, insurance and transport-side risks. For an owner-led master business this burden destroys the margin of a small website structure. Anyone who needs a shop fares better on a specialized shop/payment platform on a separate subdomain - they carry alignment, 3D-Secure and chargeback.

An external wedding-ring configurator can be embedded via iFrame or button link as a separately agreed extension. If a specialised system is the better professional fit, we help you choose it, embed it and connect it cleanly to your website. Contracts, product logic, payments, orders, customer data and ongoing maintenance remain with the business and provider; Velvionix does not build an in-house configurator.

Customer, repair, valuation, identification, inventory and POS data remain in the existing specialist system. A customer-portal link, status link or booking widget is a separately agreed extension; contracts, sensitive data and ongoing maintenance remain with the business and provider.

Local visibility, Google Business Profile and SEO for jewellers

A well-maintained Google Business Profile can complement local orientation. Consistent opening hours, services and contact details help classification without promising a particular ranking or catchment area. The private practical guide explains the foundations, and a separately quoted consultation is available for personal questions. The business remains responsible for changes and ongoing profile maintenance.

Local search topics can be covered as compact service areas within Starter. Additional specialist pages and guide or blog articles are separately agreed extensions; rankings for individual search intentions are not promised.

Authentic reviews can support trust. A link or data-minimizing widget embed is a separately agreed extension; no particular ranking, enquiry volume or sales outcome is promised.

Social media and inspiration channels can complement product and workshop presentation. Feed embeds and additional media are separately agreed extensions; content production, image rights and ongoing maintenance remain with the business or are agreed separately. Reach, demand and rankings are not promised.

Frequently asked questions about jeweller and goldsmith websites

How do I describe the diligence duties under the German Anti-Money-Laundering Act (GwG) for cash transactions from 2,000 EUR on the website in a factual way?

The website may state generally that additional review and documentation can be required for certain transactions. Thresholds and individual duties are not published as permanent advice. The business reviews current requirements internally with professional advisers and responsible authorities; sensitive customer data does not belong in a public contact form.

How do I mark laboratory-grown (CVD/HPHT) diamonds against natural diamonds on the website?

Material type, origin and treatment are described only from confirmed product or certificate information. Natural and laboratory-grown stones remain clearly distinguishable without inferring quality or value promises from the production method. The business reviews names and evidence before publication and updates them when the assortment changes.

Which fineness hallmarks (EdelmetallG) belong on the website as a trust signal?

Fineness, alloys and hallmarks are taken from confirmed product data and explained clearly. The website does not replace material testing or derive a blanket quality or value guarantee from a mark. The business approves the published information and obtains professional review for unusual cases.

How do I present price reductions and "was"-prices correctly under the new EU Price Indication Directive (PAngV 30-day rule)?

Reduced prices and promotion periods are published only from a current price basis confirmed by the store. The website does not calculate reference prices or automatically retain old strikethrough prices. The store reviews the concrete campaign in its inventory system and with professional advice, keeping dates and products unambiguous.

Do you build us a wedding-ring configurator or an online shop with payment?

An in-house jewellery shop or wedding-ring configurator is a separate specialist system and is not part of the website service. An existing specialized shop, payment or configurator platform can be connected via subdomain, button link or iFrame as a separately agreed extension; contracts, payments, order and customer data, and ongoing maintenance remain with the business and provider.

What does a website for a jeweller cost?

A compact, professionally developed website starts from EUR 599. Additional pages, languages, forms, media and functionality can be added to match the required scope. Managed hosting and ongoing support start from EUR 59 per month. Our Website pricing & options page explains the professional foundation and the available ways to expand it.
