The amazing story of the Rouvenat luxury necklace inspired by the Rosace heritage medallion: from an emblem of the Second Empire to the emblem of a new Luxury.
The jewelry (re)invented by Rouvenat: the necklace of Luxury Bolt.
It was the great Second Empire jeweler Leon Rouvenat, who trained with Christofle before creating the world's first jewelry factory at 62 rue d'Hauteville in Paris, who invented the " jewelry Rosace" in 1868. This remarkable piece of fine jewelry adorned with diamonds and precious stones was worn as a brooch, a long woman's necklace, a luxury gold necklace, a luxury silver necklace, a long necklace and a luxury pendant... subtle variations on the same theme: a new luxury, which opened up to the world and to a vast and curious clientele, whose appetite catalyzed the growth of modern jewelry.
These famous Rosaces jewels with their delicate manufacture, innovative and transformable necklaces, adorn the bodices of beauties and gallants throughout the world, from the Empress Eugenie to the Soulouque family of Haiti, from the English court to the Sultanate of Egypt. These precious necklaces are found in Russia, Europe, Latin America, but also in auction houses and the greatest museums such as the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, the Petit Palais, or the Cooper Hewitt in New York. This is the birth of an iconic luxury necklace, recognized and sought after by connoisseurs and the curious. They have earned the great jeweler Leon Rouvenat to win many gold medals and medals of honor at World Fairs.
170 years later, this jewelry marvelous of a crazy modernity is updated by the claw of Sandrine de Laage, great designer and artistic director of the House Rouvenat. She has created an extraordinary collection of necklaces and long necklaces of a new luxury, in recycled gold, silver and blackened silver, polished or brushed, cleverly inspired by the Second Empire style. These infinitely modern creations are adorned with unique antique gems, skilfully brought to light by the House's gemologists. They are manufactured with care and delicacy by the greatest jewelers of the Place Vendôme. It is the Made in France celebrated by the masters of their art.
These necklaces of a new luxury are infinitely declined around strong signatures. The Jetons medallions, the Bolt necklaces and their variations, are adorned with tassels, chains in rose gold and knitted silver, always similar, never identical, precious necklaces that can be customized to the liking of the vintage gems, unique, full of history and heritage. Our crazy promise of singularity: to give a heart to jewelry, a soul to the set. A strong motif, rooted in history, recognizable, signature of the House. A branded necklace, that of an authentic luxury necklace. To each woman its set, its necklace, its luxury, its precious stone - to each woman its Rouvenat.
Jewelry, high jewelry, necklaces and pendants, brooches, ornaments: our luxury medallions are revisited around the oldest and most contemporary know-how. Rouvenat weaves bridges between the past, the present and the future, adorns the luxury woman's necklace with an extra soul, reconnecting stories and looping the loops. This is the birth of circular jewelry, which adapts the set to the stone and not the stone to the set. Rouvenat women's necklaces open the way to eco-creation, the future of the luxury jewelry industry.
Our gold and silver jewelry is part of a new circle.
Bringing ancient stones back to light: ruby necklaces, diamond necklaces, emerald necklaces, luxury necklaces change with time, fine pearls and tourmalines, peridots, imperial topazes, a rainbow of spinels, tsavorites, variations of sapphires in a thousand colors, begin a fascinating dance that plays in the light.
