René Boivin
French, 1864 - 1917
René Boivin founded the French firm Boivin in Paris in the 1890s. They are know to have produced some of the finest jewelry of the 20th century and was well known for the use of colored stones and sculptured designs. René and his older brother Victor managed Boivin and the brothers manufactured for well known jewelers like Boucheron and Mellerio. By 1905 Boivin began focusing exclusively on private clients. Following her husband's death in 1917, Jeanne Boivin or Madame René Boivin continued to comlete existing orders. Vintage René Boivin estate jewelry remains highly sought today.
