The people behind fifteen years of stories, craft and collaboration
To celebrate Gemmyo’s 15th anniversary, discover a series of fifteen portraits by @linebrusegan dedicated to those who have shaped the brand’s history, directly or indirectly, over the years. Employees, partners, artisans, and inspiring figures: each, in their own way, has helped Gemmyo evolve and shape its story.
To kick off this anniversary series, what could be more fitting than returning to Gemmyo’s very foundations: the origins of a somewhat daring project, conceived by two individuals brimming with dreams and ambition.
As you may have guessed, we’re talking about Pauline Laigneau and Charif Debs, the two founders who, from day one, believed in their dream, championed their vision, and together brought to life an independent jewelry house guided by purpose.
We begin with the first portrait in a series of 15 marking Gemmyo’s 15th anniversary, conceived as a journey through the House’s history.
Portrait #1 – Pauline Laigneau & Charif Debs: The Founders
On the Other Side of the Microphone
To accompany this first profile and celebrate this anniversary, Pauline Laigneau and Charif Debs also agreed to take part in a unique experiment: stepping over to the other side of the microphone.
In a special episode of the podcast, the two founders look back on their journey, the early days of Gemmyo, and their vision, which continues to guide the company fifteen years later. A sincere and spontaneous conversation led by journalist and host Ariel Wizman.”
Pauline Laigneau – The co-founder
Portrait #2 – Julie, our atelier partner
Following our two co-founders, Pauline Laigneau and Charif Debs, we invite you to meet Julie. Julie isn’t a “hand,” but from the very beginning she has embodied the artisan’s craft and our unwavering commitment to French production.
A partner from the very start, she is one of those who helped us bring to life what mattered most to us: championing French craftsmanship of the highest caliber while remaining true to our convictions.
They had an idea that seemed a little crazy, but it was deeply sincere. Their vision, high standards, and conviction made me believe in it. I took a chance on them—and I’ve never regretted it.”
Julie, our atelier partner for 15 years.
