ABOUT

LAURA GALLON

Laura Gallon, born and raised in Paris, hails from a prestigious family lineage dating back to the 1920s. Back then, her great-grandparents established their jewelry store and workshop in Orléans, situated two hours south of the Parisian capital, to dedicate themselves to the art of fine jewelry.

With a rich background in the fashion and luxury industry spanning from Paris to New York, Laura’s profound interest in jewelry, coupled with her family legacy, propelled her to establish her own brand.

Drawing inspiration from her global travels and unique encounters, Laura infuses each piece with an elegant yet contemporary essence, paying homage to her familial traditions while celebrating the marvels of nature.

HOW IT STARTED

Georges Gallon, along with his wife Alice, established his workshop and boutique on the renowned Rue Royale in Orléans in 1920. A highly skilled silversmith, he quickly made a name for himself by creating timeless Art Deco jewels showcasing the highest level of craftsmanship or French savoir-faire.

The city of Orléans was completely destroyed during World War II but Georges and Alice returned after the war and rebuilt their business from scratch.

The platinum and diamond fan-shaped earrings, meticulously hand-crafted by Georges in 1920, were passed down to Laura, Georges’ great-granddaughter. Holding them in her hands, she decided to embark on a journey to revive her family’s jewelry legacy.

A NEW ERA

Exactly 100 years later, Laura Gallon reawakened the Maison which had been dormant since the passing of her great-grandparents. Constantly reinterpreting and reinventing the work her family, Laura wants to pay tribute to her jewelry heritage. An ambitious but rewarding project of a lifetime that showcases how jewelry transcends generations. For Laura, it’s all about looking backward in order to go forward.

SAVOIR-FAIRE

As a GIA Graduate Gemologist, Laura places gemstones at the heart of all her creations and personally selects all of the stones featured in her jewelry. Her expert eye allows her to pick out vibrant natural gems of the finest color and quality.

True to our convictions, we are committed to using only natural diamonds that are certified according to the Kimberley Process from legitimate sources that are not involved in armed conflict.

After sketching out each piece, Laura works hand in hand with the workshop in France where the pieces are handmade by experienced master jewelers.
The pieces are handcrafted using the traditional lost-wax casting technique.

Always emphasizing savoir-faire, our creations represent the talent and skills of the expert hands that bring them to life.
