Who started the jewelry industry in 1794?

The jewelry industry as we know it today began to take shape in the late 18th century, with figures like Georges Frédéric Strass and others contributing to its development. However, the establishment of jewelry houses such as Boucheron in Paris in 1858 and Tiffany & Co. in New York in 1837 marked significant milestones in the industry. While 1794 is often associated with various advancements in jewelry making, it is not attributed to a single founder of the entire industry. Instead, it was a period of evolution influenced by various artisans and jewelers.
