Italian jeweller Leopoldo Janesich opened his first shop in Trieste in 1835, however the firm is renowned for the Art Deco jewellery it produced nearly one hundred years later. As the firm's reputation grew, its business thrived, with international clients from aristocratic and Royal families. The firm opened a London office 179 New Bond Street and by 1913, Janesich opened a new boutique in the fashionable Rue de la Paix in Paris. This was soon followed by outlets in the popular resort towns of Biarritz, Monte Carlo and Vichy. By the 1920s and 1930s the firm was prosperous, sourcing gems of the highest quality for an established clientele. It was a fruitful period for the firm. Its designers captured the new modern Art Deco style with sophistication, often using gemstones with unusual cuts in progressive ways. Janesich is still run today in Trieste by Francesco, the sixth generation of the family to head up the firm.
