Templier is a lineage, a look, a new way of thinking about form.
Founded in 1849, the Templier house is rooted in a continuous family tradition, marked by several generations of jewelers, dealers, and designers. It is in this environment that Raymond Templier developed his vision, before imposing, in the 1920s, a radically new aesthetic. He moved away from naturalistic motifs to design geometric, almost architectonic jewels. This approach, fueled by the zeitgeist and the rise of modern design, would give jewelry a direction never before seen.
The period of 1925 marks a turning point; Templier fully enters into his modernist language. Art Deco. His creations prioritize sharp contrasts, balanced volumes, and polished surfaces. Their apparent simplicity conceals considerable complexity in execution: applying varnishes, adjusting hinges, and polishing metals. Every detail requires absolute precision.
Today, Caroline and Louis Brunet are continuing this approach by re-publishing the works of Raymond Templier with the same rigor.
The jewelry is produced in small series, numbered, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The entire manufacturing process is carried out by selected French and Swiss workshops renowned for their expertise.
Presented exclusively at the Galerie Parisienne, the first contemporary collection highlights the continuity of the Templier style: a design that is controlled, stripped-down and faithful to the modernist spirit.
More than a reissue, it is a way of reminding us that a piece of jewelry can be both an object of art and a form of thought without excess or effect, simply just right.
