Biography
Louis Rigollet was a jeweler in Paris who created important jewels for Lacloche and René Boivin. With a mark registered in 1924, he worked alone until partnering with another jeweler in 1949. Rigollet created some of the most fantastic machine-inspired diamond-set designs in the Art Deco period.
