Rank the board against my position →
In short
Frédéric Boucheron opened at 26 Place Vendôme in 1893, the first of the great jewelers on the square in Paris. Cartier moved to 13 rue de la Paix, which runs off it, in 1899. Van Cleef & Arpels opened at 22 Place Vendôme in 1906, and Chaumet, founded in 1780, has been at number 12 since 1907.
The great jewel auctions are held in Geneva in spring and autumn, where the auction houses offer the most important stones and signed pieces of the year.
