1870 — EXCELLENCE MEETS HERITAGE
Our first family-run goldsmith workshops opened in 1870 on Rue des Haudriettes in Paris.
In 1895, newly-wed Charles and Louise Tirbour took over a distant relative's silversmith's workshop that had been in business since 1810.They started off by creating a range of tableware, from cutlery to napkin rings and tumblers.
1921 — GOLDSMITHS AND JEWELERS UNITE
In 1921, their daughter Suzanne married Roger Copin, a jeweler with workshops in the same Marais district building in Paris. The two businesses had a shared clientele, so it was only natural that Mme. Copin managed both.
Once their son, Michel left school, he joined the family workshop and trained as a silver and goldsmith. He followed this by studying gemology (the study of stones) and became a certified expert in 1971.
1969 — IN THE HEART OF PARIS
Michel Copin left the Marais district in 1969 and moved to Palais-Royale, where he set up shop at 161 Rue Saint-Honoré, one of the chicest parts of Paris.
His technical and creative excellence earned him recognition from his peers, and his exquisite, luxury jewelry proved to be the perfect marketing tool to promote the Maison.
In keeping with family tradition, his wife, Bernadette joined the company taking on a management role.
1992 — A FAMILY AFFAIR
A few years later, one of their daughters, Anne entered the profession and ushered in the fifth generation of family jewelers.
In 2020, the 6th generation joined the company with the arrival of one of her sons, Adrien and Alexandre, a friend.
2022 — A NEW ERA
As an independent, autonomous brand, Maison Copin highlights French jewelry savoir-faire in a way that's a far cry from today’s modern marketing drives and mass production.
In 2022, Maison Copin merged its rich heritage with the innovative and inclusive vision of Sajina Dutertre, the brand's new Artistic Director.
Her vision combines expertise with a contemporary slant, bringing what is often unaffordable luxury Parisian jewelry to a new audience.
