Gemologist and Jewellery designer extraodinaire, Lydia Courteille, seeks out rare and precious stones with which to create her exquisite pieces of highly sought after jewellery. Her style is pure fantasy born out of the desire to bring elegance and romance into the lives of her impressive clientele.

From a tiny 19th century vitrine in her store in Paris she presents her collections inspired by a myriad of sources from historical periods to the endless colours and textures in the animal kingdom and the plant world. Each item is unique or one of a small limited edition, hand crafted,  extravagant and sometimes unexpected in terms of structure, colour and contrast, a wearable conversation piece and work of art.
