Founded in the 1980 and located in the world-renowned Place Vendome, Verney Paris boasts some of the finest pedigree in the world of fine jewellery. The maison’s creator, owner and designer, the eminent Michel Emerlin, has been called one of the founders of the “joaillerie Classique” style in French jewellery, which draws inspiration from renowned jewellers of the early-to-mid twentieth century, such as Belperron and Boivin, and adapted the forms for contemporary living. Emerlin has always maintained his philosophy that jewellery designers should introduce new trends, not follow them, which can be seen in his pioneering use of black gold in his iconic Triage ring. The intention of the black gold was to make the setting seem to disappear in order to best bring out the colour of the gem.

“My design intention and the sole purpose of each piece is to generate an emotion,” Michael explained in an interview with Solitaire Magazine Hong Kong.

Today, Verney Paris holds its place in the world of fine jewellery through its persistent, if not always pronounced, influence on design.
