Jean Granvigne was a renowned Parisian goldsmith who worked at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, remaining active until 1910. His work gained wide recognition in the jewelry world, and he was known for both his precise craftsmanship and his sense of fashion of the time. Granvigne earned a reputation through his collaboration with one of the most prominent Parisian jewelers of the era, Charles Odiot, the official Court Supplier. Granvigne served as a subcontractor in Odiot’s workshop, crafting specialized elements for jewelry and silverware, which allowed him to gain experience and expand his own business.
Thanks to this collaboration, Granvigne had the opportunity to work on some of the most prestigious commissions, earning recognition not only in Paris but also at European courts. His works were characterized by elegance, precise execution, and subtle details, which became his hallmark. Although his activity ended at the beginning of the 20th century, Jean Granvigne's influence on the development of Parisian goldsmithing and his partnership with Odiot are permanently etched in the history of jewelry-making.
