Jean Dousset Jewelry

One of our partners, Jean Dousset Jewelry is a rapidly growing D2C fine jewelry brand that specializes in curating and designing custom, traditionally handcrafted engagement rings and extraordinary jewelry. As the direct descendant of Louis Cartier, and the designer of many iconic celebrity engagement rings (including Paris Hilton, Amy Adams, and Eva Longoria), Jean Dousset has a story and heritage that cannot be replicated.

We're on a mission to democratize luxury jewelry and engagement rings by redefining the way consumers shop in this category. There has been a paradigm shift in the engagement ring industry with the rapid penetration of lab-grown diamonds.
