Isabelle Langlois' painterly jewels
Like an Impressionist painter applying color to canvas, Isabelle Langlois designs jewelry by “drawing light on objects.”
Padparadscha sapphire — “pink and orange at the same time” — , “dense and somber” garnet and green Paraíba tourmaline are among her favorites, although her heart could easily be drawn to any one of the thirty-some varieties of gems whose colors she loves to “have sing together.” The granddaughter and daughter of lapidaries, as a child Isabelle Langlois would visit her grandfather in his atelier in the Jura mountains, where he worked for Place Vendôme’s prestigious houses. She smiles at memories of holidays spent watching him at his bench. “A little girl’s dream” that became reality in 1992 when she launched her namesake brand. Her collections, which are crafted at her brother’s atelier in Bangkok, are sold worldwide. You’ll find Isabelle Langlois jewelry in Geneva, at Adore Adorée, as well as at Adam, near Zurich, but the world she has created truly reveals itself in the jewel-toned boutique on Rue Danielle-Casanova in Paris. With a little luck, Isabelle Langlois will welcome you in person!
