A love of colour, gems and exotic cultures inspired the launch of Marie-Hélène de Taillac’s fine jewellery label in 1996. Based in Paris, she uses traditional craft techniques and modern stones to create exquisite, one-off investment pieces. Her passion for colours, combined with a fascination with jewels and travelling, prompted de Taillac to invent a style that would showcase the stones themselves. Thanks to her vision, the droplet-shaped briolette - a cut traditionally reserved for diamonds - was finally used for coloured stones, and Marie-Hélène also defied convention by pairing precious and semi-precious stones.
