Golay Fils & Stahl is a historic Geneva-based jeweller established in 1837. Originally a clockmaker, they later became renowned for their exclusive jewels and their notable international clientele, including the King Carol I of Romania and the Maharajah of Baroda.
Between 1860 and 1930 they opened premises in Paris and eventually shifted their focus from watchmaking to high-end jewels and precious stones.
In 1961 Jacques Wolfgang, a precious stones vendor to the firm since the 1930s purchased Golay Fils & Stahl. Today, the business continues under the leadership of the Wolfgang family and their long tradition of custom-made masterpieces continues.

Beautiful blue sapphires have been unearthed for over 1000 years in the old Burmese mines, and are a rare occurrence amongst a sea of rubies. Highly coveted for their rich blue hue, the exceptional qualities of these sapphires have led to them becoming one of nature’s most sought after, yet elusive gems.
