Jean Boggio
A multi-talented creative spirit, Jean Boggio is best known in France for his fantastical, magical jewellery creations. His extravagant 'palace' rings, a daring concept that first appeared in1988, have been a major influence, as have been his circus characters, grouped together as a bracelet or in the form of a 'farandole' (holding hands motif) necklace.
Originally trained as a gold and silversmith, this native of Lyon has also been at work behind the scenes for prestigious tableware names such as Baccarat and Haviland, and also for the luxury goods company, Les Héritiers. From his workshop in the Beaujolais region, he now specialises in jewellery, a passion of his since 1984. He also works on the development of the new Jean Boggio for Franz brand.
