Founded in Paris in 1892 by the Lacloche brothers, the house was counted amongst the great jewellers of the Place Vendôme, distinguishing itself during the Art Deco period through the bold use of coloured gemstones. The name was revived in 1933 by the nephew, Jacques Lacloche, who established the brand between Paris and Cannes and moved in the circles of the Côte d’Azur — notably, he created jewellery for Grace Kelly’s wedding in Monaco in 1956.
