Renowned for its breathtaking modern creations and meticulous gem-setting, Mellerio’s true distinction lies in its illustrious past. From a small Italian village, the Mellerio family journeyed to Paris in 1515. In 1613, Queen Marie de Médici honoured them with special privileges after they thwarted an assassination plot against Louis XIII. This royal grant allowed them to establish Maison Mellerio, laying the foundation for France’s oldest independent jewellery house.
Through 15 generations, Maison Mellerio has captivated royalty and discerning clients worldwide. The family’s dedication to heritage and craftsmanship has kept the house at the apex of fine jewellery.
This year, Laure-Isabelle Mellerio, the current President and Artistic Director, reveals a cosmic collection that delves into the mysteries of the universe. The Talisman Jumbo series introduces two pendants, each a celestial masterpiece. The first pendant, crafted in white gold, evokes the serenity of a summer night sky. Its organic form, meticulously hammered and engraved, is adorned with diamonds, sapphires, and opals, capturing the sparkle of distant stars and the swirl of galaxies. A diamond crescent moon adds a luminous focal point, embodying the vastness and majesty of the cosmos.
