Maison Tournaire

Maison Tournaire Jewellery making
©Vincent Chambon_Tournaire

With 50 years of precious know-how passed down from father to son, jewellery house Maison Tournaire is a symbol of French excellence in craftsmanship. The company was founded in 1973 by Philippe Tournaire, whose innovative vision and craft skills have inspired fine jewels of architectural influence. Over the years, the singular aesthetic of his creations has brought him international success. Now headed by his son, Mathieu Tournaire, the jewellery house continues to uphold the values of its founder, rooted in a unique savoir-faire and a perpetual quest for innovation.

The jewels are crafted according to ancestral techniques, such as lost-wax casting, along with new technologies. The harmonious design of each piece subtly reflects the art of 'organised disorder', a key feature of Tournaire's work. Maison Tournaire is one of the few today to make the pieces entirely in its own workshops, located in the Loire region. From ideation to the setting, casting to polishing, all stages are performed by skilled craftspeople, some of whom are trained within the atelier.
