The Korloff story began with one of the most mysterious diamonds in the world: a 200-carat rough black diamond. Formed somewhere between Earth and Sky, its origin is shrouded in mystery and is still a subject of debate amongst specialists today. Charmed by its tale and incredible beauty, French entrepreneur and diamond trader Daniel Paillasseur bought the magical “Black Korloff” in 1978, cut it into a massive 88-carat brilliant jewel, and decided to name his company after it. A company that would not only trade diamonds, but also craft them into the most exciting and desirable jewelry.

40 years later, Korloff is one of the last independent French jeweller-diamantaires. Headquartered in Paris, it is present in more than 40 countries with over 50 exclusive stores and shop-in-shops, as well as 350 retailers. The Black Korloff remains the House’s emblem and source of inspiration: from the signature 88-facet Korloff cut to the most spectacular masterpieces, from watches to perfumes. Korloff stands out with its bold mix of inspirations, styles and materials, touched with a hint of impertinence.
