KORLOFF PARIS

Korloff Paris is an independent French jewelry Maison founded by Daniel Paillasseur in 1978. At the center of its identity stands an extraordinary black diamond that became known as the Black Korloff. Weighing 88 carats, the stone became far more than a rare jewel for Paillasseur; it developed into a symbol of the Maison's audacity, mystery and fascination with good fortune. Korloff played an important role in making the black diamond a more visible material within high jewelry, treating it as a bold alternative to conventional expressions of preciousness.

The number 8 also became an important Korloff code, linking the 1978 founding date, the 88-carat diamond and other elements of the house's history with ideas of luck and prosperity. Korloff's style combines creative freedom with technical jewelry expertise and expressive materials. Its fragrance lines were relaunched in 2008 and naturally carried the same aesthetic into scent through polished presentation, contrasts between darkness and light, French luxury and a strong sense of presence. Within the Korloff universe, perfume functions almost like an invisible jewel — a way of carrying the personality of the jewelry Maison directly on the skin.
