Bry & Co
. Was founded in Paris in 1937 by Monsieur René Bry, under the name of Ateliers de Joaillerie René Bry (Jewelry workshops René Bry), the Bry & Co house is one of the most prestigious addresses of Parisian jewelry, in particular after 1944, when the eponymous boutique opened rue de la Paix.
What made the renown of the boutique in the 60s is undoubtedly the references to nature, symbolized by the “Wheat Sheaf “ collection, then the creations inspired by hunting, representing animal patterns. A collection combining gold and elephant hairs launched in 1967 achieved an impressive success worldwide.

We never buy or sell anything 100 years or newer; we donate to anti-poaching organizations; we don't hunt; we conserve in ways that impact global warming (we're totally solar at home), knowing those measures also protect the animals in the wild today. We also recognize the vast cultural history we preserve with our care and reverence for these antique objects, and agree with CITES that objects over 100 years of age have nothing whatsoever to do with species depletion in our current world.
