In 1827 the Frenchman M. Rocher opened his small jewelry shop which went to his partner Jean-Baptiste Noury in 1869. The Mauboussin family inherited the jewelry house in 1869 when Noury withdrew with business handing over it to his nephew George Mauboussin. Thanks to young energetic George who was not only a talented jeweler and a successful businessman but also a man of his times, the company achieved a peak of jewelry Olympus. His ideas and passions in the art coincided with the trends of that time. Bold designer's resolutions realized in arrangement of precious stones formed in complex geometrical traceries, brought the company fame through the world. Expressive and colourful “jewelry canvases” belong to his “pen”. The family business is now headed by the sixth generation of the Mauboussins. Since 1994 the company, besides jewelry, has been producing watches not being worse than luxurious adornments. The end of the 20th century in the company's history is notable for changes into the designer's way of working: the conception of luminous design has prevailed. Visual effects achieved by the play of light and shadow underlay to create original Mauboussin's articles.
