History

Charif Debs and Pauline Laigneau

“ Gemmyo is a story of boldness.

When Charif asked me to marry him, we decided to choose my engagement ring together in Paris where we both lived.

Unfortunately, this moment was a disappointment:
the Parisian jewelers we visited offered a cold, intimidating or even obsolete experience. We didn't recognise ourselves. Neither in the brands’ voices nor in the products’ prices.

We dreamt of a refined jeweller, proud of its French manufacturing, its rare and unusual stones, but without sacrificing fair prices or an honest and smiling approach.

An unashamedly modern Maison.

Such a Maison did not yet exist.
We undertook its creation. ” Pauline signature

Founder

Gemmyo is one of the few emerging jewelry Maisons born in the 21st century, and stands out for the fact - unique in this industry - that the founders had no family ties to the trade, bringing a fresh perspective to its traditions.

Name

The name Gemmyo first refers to the world of gems and their shimmering colors. To this semantic origin is added a flavorful story: Gemmyo - or Genmei 元明天皇 - is the name of an 8th-century Japanese empress, renowned for her modernity and pioneering spirit

The name Gemmyo reflects the founders' fascination with gemstones - too often reserved for fine jewelry - and their desire to bring boldness to the world of jewelry.

Pledge

Gemmyo's ambition is to offer a new vision of luxury anchored in its time, and a bold, modern alternative to the Place Vendôme brands.

100% French craftsmanship, a rarity even among the best-known jewelry brands.

The possibility of choosing a stone from a broad palette usually reserved for haute joaillerie.

A warm, personalized customer experience that counters traditional luxury codes.

An innovative business model, based on just-in-time manufacturing and exclusively in-house distribution, combining top-quality products, a reasonable ecological footprint and fair prices.

Style

The Maison explores a wide range of creative styles, from engagement rings to unisex models or one-of-a-kind haute joaillerie sets.

From revisited classics to more audacious designs, the Maison's creations are characterized by their modernity, while respecting French jewelry expertise and Swiss watchmaking technique.
