A STORY OF LUCK
Founded in 1978, Maison Korloff originated from an exceptional encounter between its creator, Daniel Paillasseur, and the famous Black Korloff, a rare and fascinating 88-carat black diamond.
"Close your eyes and open your hand"
This is how the story of Maison Korloff begins. Bewitched by the fascinating brilliance of a mysterious 88-carat Black Diamond, Daniel Paillasseur has only one thing on his mind when it is presented to him: to acquire it!
Fascinated by the aura of the Black Korloff, Daniel Paillasseur gave the name Korloff to the jewelry Maison he founded in
1978. Owned by the Maison, this legendary diamond continues to shape Korloff's identity and its prestigious heritage.
Jewelry with a distinctive style designed to reveal free and bold personalities.
AN INNOVATIVE MAISON WITH AN ASSUMED STATE OF MIND
Borrowing a strong and assumed character, our collections innovate in the choice of shapes, techniques and materials used and reveal a singular style cultivating a creativity freed from all constraints. The creative audacity of Maison Korloff was rewarded in 1988 by the Grand Prix du Bijorhca d'or and gave birth to two exclusive diamond cuts: K73 and K88 which reveal the exceptional brilliance of the diamonds.

WHEN AUDACITY BRINGS LUCK
LUCK AND ITS ORIGINS
Daniel Paillasseur firmly believed that audacity brings luck. It is in this spirit that the black diamond, at the origin of the Maison Korloff, has become a symbol of fortune and success for those who are privileged to approach it. This symbolism is reflected in Korloff creations, which highlight black diamonds to inspire the audacious spirit of their owners and invite them to seize opportunities.
THE LUCKY 8
Like a lucky charm symbolizing success and prosperity accompanying Korloff since its origins, the number 8 marks the history of the Maison: 1978, foundation of the Maison; 88, the carat weight of the Black Korloff; 18 rue de la Paix, the historic address of the Maison; and K88, our iconic white diamond cut.
