A Jewel in the Crown of Haute Joaillerie
For over a century and a half, Chatila has stood as a symbol of refinement, rare beauty, and uncompromising craftsmanship. Founded in 1860 by George Chatila, a visionary silversmith, the house has journeyed from its modest beginnings to become one of the most prestigious names in high jewellery—quietly shaping the world of luxury with poise and discretion.
The Power of a Name, the Strength of a Family
Now led by the fourth generation—brothers Nicholas, Edward, Carlos, and myself—Chatila remains a family-run maison where tradition is revered and innovation is embraced. We are not simply keeping the legacy alive; we are reimagining it for today’s world. Ours is a commitment to authenticity, quality, and personal relationships that span continents and generations.
A Passion for the Extraordinary
At the heart of every Chatila piece is a story—a legacy of legendary stones and once-in-a-lifetime finds. We have handled some of history’s most coveted gems, from an 87-carat diamond of royal provenance to a 331-carat sapphire once worn by Catherine the Great. Our dedication lies in curating and celebrating such treasures with integrity and artistry.
Design That Dares to Be Timeless
For us, the design process is deeply intimate. Every gemstone guides the creation of its setting—each curve, cut, and contour meticulously imagined. From sculptural forms to bold silhouettes, our pieces speak a design language that is both classic and daring. Take, for instance, our signature Cleopatra bracelet—a dramatic swirl of gold and diamonds that fuses ancient elegance with contemporary allure.
Bespoke, Boutique, Beyond Compare
Though we have salons in Geneva and London, and a global clientele, we’ve remained proudly boutique in philosophy. At Chatila, jewellery is never mass-produced; it is crafted slowly, thoughtfully, and with an eye on legacy. Our clients return to us for this rare balance of intimacy, exclusivity, and excellence.
Celebrating 165 Years of Mastery
As we honour our 165th anniversary, we reflect not just on history, but on evolution. Our 150th was a glamorous celebration at Claridge’s, and today we continue to innovate. Among our newest creations is a collection of haute joaillerie handbags—where precious metals, gemstones, and timeless design meet unexpected elegance.
More Than Jewels—A World of Meaning
Chatila is not merely a jewellery house; it is a world built on trust, legacy, and emotional value. Our pieces are not only objects of desire—they are heirlooms of the future, shaped by human hands and lasting passion.
Here’s to the next chapter of brilliance.
