Notes

Berlioz Leroy, Paris Mademoiselle Berlioz and Monsieur Leroy established their jewellery business during the early 1920’s in Paris. Their boutique at 19 rue de la Paix, which leads down from the world famous Place Vendôme, quickly became a draw for discerning clients looking for something a little different.
