Mellerio dits Meller is one of France's oldest jewelry houses. Founded in 1613, this family-run house, still managed by Mellerio descendants, is a true institution in the world of high jewelry.

Mellerio’s history began under the reign of Marie de' Medici, who granted the Italian-origin Mellerio family special privileges in recognition of their craftsmanship. The house quickly became the favored jeweler of European royal courts, including Queen Marie Antoinette, one of its most illustrious clients.

During the 19th century, Mellerio distinguished itself as the official jeweler of Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III. The house created exceptional pieces for her, some of which are now exhibited at the Louvre.
