In this episode I speak with Diane-Sophie Lanselle, director of communications at Mellerio.
Mellerio is the oldest jeweller in the world which not only still exists, but remains in the same family as when it began almost five hundred years in the mid 1500s. In the early 1600s, Marie de Medici granted them the permission to sell their jewels in France and since that date, they have created jewels for every queen and empress, including of course Queen Marie Antoinette and Empress Josephine.
Nowadays Mellerio's jewels can still be seen in many of the collections of European Crown Jewels.
Please tune into discover how this remarkable family who, along with a chimney sweep, saved the life of the child King of France in 1613, to having a boutique on Rue de la Paix, full of ledgers describing the jewellery transactions of almost every aristocrat in France. Including one on the actual day that the Bastille was stormed - July 17th 1789!
