Maison Mère thrives in a completely amazing environment here in the heart of Paris; a neighbourhood that has the feel of a village. Delighting in our surroundings, we like to help you discover all that makes our quarter so special and particularly the lovely and talented people who contribute to its sheer vitality. Today, we’d like to introduce Stéphane Gonkeser to you.
It’s more than 40 years since Stéphane Gonkeser opened his family jewellery atelier in the heart of the 9th arrondissement, a few steps from our beautiful Maison Mère. Passionate about his profession, he launched his career by making creations commissioned by the biggest jewellers but quickly found that he preferred to work for individuals.

And his clients thoroughly appreciate and reward his commitment! Such as the young couples who entrust him with designing their tokens of love just as their parents did years ago. Or like the gentleman who drops by to say hello because Stéphane designed a wonderful piece for him 10 years ago...

For Stéphane Gonkeser, jewellery is above all a family affair. In fact, it was from his uncle that he learned all the secrets of his trade before passing them on to his two daughters Mélanie and Stéphanie. They have since worked alongside him in the family atelier, bringing their touch and their personalities to the jewellery that is designed there. To add to his fine reputation and that of his business, Stéphane insists on high standards and so works only with 18-carat gold, a true guarantee of fine quality. Time and passion are his two watchwords.

Our neighbourhood, our village, brings together in the vicinity of our Maison Mère fascinating people whom we like to meet every day, but whom we also love to present to you. Perhaps you’ll have time to meet them when you next come to Paris?
