It was in 1855 that Louis Leysen founded his “Fabrique de Bijoux” in Brussels. The House's creations, together with its strategic location in the heart of the Belgian capital, attracted a clientele that was both distinguished and prestigious.
In 1972, his son Henri Leysen continued the pursuit of excellence that had become synonymous with the brand, while expanding the name and reputation of Leysen on the international stage. This prestige continued to grow when the House was appointed a Royal Warrant Holder to the Court of Belgium.
Today, the House's creations are instantly recognisable by the fleur-de-lis, a symbol of purity. This hallmark, stamped on each piece, attests to the authenticity of the jewel and certifies that it was entirely crafted in Leysen's workshops.
Throughout the years, Maison Leysen has successfully endured and evolved, establishing itself as a benchmark in the world of fine jewellery.
