In this episode I speak with Eddie LeVian, ninth generation of the family jewellers of Le Vian.
He tells the wonderful tale of his ancestors, the Levys, who in the 1700s guarded the Shah of Persia's treasures; which included the Koh-I-Noor and how the Shah took it from a Mughal emperor of India. He also talks about the beautiful elephant on the episode cover, set with hundreds of Persian turquoise cabochons and how Le Vian famously made Chocolate Diamonds the delicious treat they are today!
Le Vian's jewellery, based out of NYC, is sold all around the world.
In 2019 the brand held an event at the Tower of London, home of the Koh-I-Noor, to celebrate ten years of being in the UK - sold at Ernest Jones.
