What could be more contemporary than putting this savoir-faire back at the heart of contemporary jewelry? Mellerio gives you the possibility to create colorful and original combinations: mixing citrines to purple sapphires, amethyst or tsavorites.
All of which can be mixed and added to personalize them into unique pieces.

Long live MAZARIN !
The brand celebrates it’s first year! Did you know? MAZARIN owes its name to an incredible collection of eighteen exceptional diamonds? Assembled in the 17th century by Cardinal Mazarin, godfather and later prime minister of Louis XIV, and a great lover of art.
Bequeathed to the Crown, then stolen, found, lost, sold… these diamonds suffered a variety of fortunes.

MAZARIN collections use exclusively recycled gold, obtained from objects that have been appraised and then melted down into pure 24-carat gold ingots.
NEWS 6. A LITTLE KNOWN ARTISTIC PRACTICE IN JEWELRY !
Discover the new brand : Le Sibille
The historic Roman jewelry house Le Sibille, specialized in the micro-mosaic technique, is launching its new Wondergarden collection. Founded in 1990 by three women who decided to revive a century-old Roman tradition: micro-mosaics into their brand: LE SIBILLE. Modern, colorful and original, these jewelry are definitely on my wishlist !
Did you know? Micromosaic is an essential part of Roman culture. Romans used mosaics to decorate walls in villas, floors, table tops and other objects. This tradition was handed down for centuries up to the 1300s, when the increased need to preserve paintings from moisture found a solution in reproducing them with micromosaic.
