In the Footsteps of Iconic Jeweler Louis Cartier…

by Robyn Hawk on March 3, 2012


It is under the watchful eye of his Great-Great-Grand Father, iconic jeweler Louis Cartier that Jean Dousset, celebrated for creating engagement rings for Eva Longoria and Amy Adams, opens his first showroom. Located on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, the beautiful space presents his diamond engagement rings and jewelry collection.

The showroom is a reflection of Jean Dousset’s aesthetic and personality. Original portraits of Louis Cartier that have remained in the family hang in the showroom. “I wanted to make his aura felt discreetly. His heritage and accomplishments are purely an inspiration for me. It is certainly not an entitlement to jewelry design recognition.”

After a 12 year career honing his skills at some of the most illustrious French High jewelry houses including Chaumet, Boucheron and Van Cleef and Arpels, Jean Dousset waited 5 years working privately before stepping out to create a showroom that represents his sensibility and reflects his utmost respect for the history, tradition and artistry of jewelry. “I really am indebted to the High Jewelry Houses I worked for during my career. They trained me to be a consummate perfectionist.”


Jean Dousset’s diamond selection is uncompromising and focused on the very best cut diamonds. “The result has to exceed the customer’s expectations,” says Jean Dousset. Recognizing how much diamond selection goes “Beyond the 4C’s ™”, Dousset recently trademarked this phrase. The cut, color, clarity and carat weight commonly known as the 4C’s only determine the market price of a diamond, not its beauty.

“I work with my customers on a budget they are comfortable with, finding the stone that strikes the best balance between quality, beauty and value.”

Jean Dousset engagement rings are entirely hand crafted and custom made. “I simply do not think you can ever have the perfect ring in stock. There are too many variables to consider.”

Best of all, Jean Dousset rings offer unparalleled value in today’s engagement ring market. “Quality does not have to be expensive. It is a matter of integrity, taste and experience”, says Dousset who adds that his customer testimonials say it best.
