Extra information
Wolfers - Wolfers has been realising dreams since 1812. As fine jewellery makers and goldsmiths, Wolfers is one of the oldest and the most prestigious European jewellery houses. Successive generations of craftsmen and innovative designers have creatively navigated the firm through the centuries until the present day.

A great many books have been written about the Wolfers dynasty, highlighting the family's notable artistic and business acumen. The Wolfers creations can even be admired in prestigious museums, such as the Rijksmuseum of Amsertdam. Philippe Wolfers, a creative genius and innovator, was a known figurehead of Art Nouveau in Brussels. His exceptional works of art have defined the Wolfers bold style of elegance and beauty.
