Our story began in 1935, with a small jewelry workshop founded by Françoise Montague’s mother. Ten years later, in 1945, the brand took on the name we know today. Its distinctive style quickly stood out: iridescent and enameled glass beads, exceptional craftsmanship, and boundless creativity.

Then in 1978, a new chapter began — a breath of fresh air. At just 21 years old, Marion Stern took the reins, determined to expand the reach of the house even further. With a visionary spirit, she explored new horizons, and by 1981, Françoise Montague creations were already traveling to Asia, the East, and the West. In 1998, she opened the boutique at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré.

And today? The story continues! In June 2023, I joined the adventure in turn. My name is Rebecca Mamou-Stern, and with my background as an engineer and the savoir-faire passed down to me, I carry this beautiful house forward — at the crossroads of heritage and modernity.

“A Françoise Montague jewel is a Françoise Montague jewel. That’s all there is to it.”

Since 1945, the house has cultivated a style like no other: bold pieces, unapologetically voluminous, lavishly adorned with rhinestones, iridescent pearls, and glass paste.
A style that doesn’t seek discretion, but authenticity. That doesn’t follow trends, but commands presence.

If we had to put it into words: boldness, a couture touch, and a clear taste for what makes a woman unique.
And though the style has evolved with time, it has never taken the easy route.
Even today, it remains free, joyful, and full of character — worn by those who dare to be themselves.

At Françoise Montague, we don’t create “inspired” jewelry.
We create the real thing.
Unmistakable. Inimitable.
