MEET PIERRE
Forty-five years at a bench on 47th Street.
From humble beginnings in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar to over four decades in the heart of New York City's Diamond District, Pierre has dedicated his life to the master craft of fine jewelry making, combining old-world bench techniques with modern precision.
IN THIS STORY
The story of Pierre B Fine Jewelry is built on passion, patience, and uncompromising craftsmanship. Discover the journey of a master artisan who turned a lifelong obsession with precious metals and stones into a trusted 47th Street institution.
Apprenticeship
Pierre began his journey in the bustling alleys of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, spending formative years under the watchful eye of strict master craftsmen. Long before the era of 3D printers and computers, he learned the hard way—mastering the delicate art of hand-sawing, forging, and stone-setting entirely by touch and eye.
“We learned to set stones by hand, feeling the tension of the metal before computers ever came to the street. That human touch is something machines can never replace.”
Opening the shop
Bringing decades of high-level European bench experience across the Atlantic, Pierre established his own workshop on New York's famous 47th Street. Built on a foundation of absolute honesty, transparent pricing, and stellar quality, the shop quickly became a quiet staple for private clients and trade professionals alike.
Bringing CAD in-house
While rooted in traditional craftsmanship, Pierre embraced the future early on. By integrating advanced in-house CAD software, 3D printers, and laser welders directly into the workshop, the atelier gained the unique ability to visualize complex designs with millimeter precision while keeping every single step of manufacturing securely under one roof.
