George Chatila, a Lebanese jeweler, founded Chatila in Beirut in 1860, and has earned a reputation as a discerning jeweler, spanning over 150 years and four generations of the Chatila family.

 

In 1983, the company relocated to Switzerland, bringing with it a wealth of fresh ideas and designs that have expanded Chatila's collections. Today, the flagship showroom in Geneva's Rue du Rhône is the ultimate destination for connoisseurs seeking rare and magnificent pieces, while the prestigious London and Middle East showrooms offer equally outstanding displays of exquisite jewelry. ​

 

As pioneers in the field of colored diamonds, the House of Chatila has set the standard for the most prized gems in the world. Recently, Chatila made headlines by selling "The Flame of Argyle," one of the few known red diamonds in existence. Every member of the Chatila family participates in selecting and valuing unique and rare gemstones, such as the legendary 76-carat Hapsburg "Archduke Joseph" diamond, once owned by the Austrian Crown, or the "Indore Pears," weighing around 45 carats each. These historic treasures are a testament to Chatila's unrivaled expertise and discerning eye. ​

 

From the purest emeralds and sea-deep sapphires to luscious rubies and dazzling diamonds, Chatila's collection boasts exceptional stones of unparalleled quality and beauty. Masterfully crafted in designs that seamlessly blend traditional and contemporary aesthetics, each piece exudes sophistication and elegance, making it a true reflection of Chatila's legacy as a distinguished jeweler.
