Our Story
We are celebrating 40 years in Marin and 77 years since the first boutique opened in 1945 on the Rue De France, Nice, France.
Our speciality is high quality workmanship in gold smithing, stone setting and all repairs.
With attention to detail, quality, design concepts and complex restoration of fine jewelry and watches and insurance appraisals are offered as our services.
Showcasing our custom designer fine jewelry, which we manufacture, exemplifies the creativity and excellent quality that hallmarks Deleuse Jewelers.
With an increasing portfolio, Janet Deleuse designer jewelry has been featured in WWD, Town & Country, Robb Report and Lustre magazines.
Deleuse online shopping experience is similar to our brick and mortar store....a store filled with fine jewelry, high vintage, original photography, Janet Deleuse designer outerwear couture and Deleuse natural skin care products.
