“In thirty years, the thrill of a find has never changed. A piece surfaces, you recognize it, and for a moment everything else stops.”
David Chassard is a second-generation jewelry dealer.
His father, Alain Chassard, founded Templier in Monaco in the late 1980s before establishing himself in Paris as a dealer and expert in signed jewelry, specializing in works by René Boivin and Suzanne Belperron. In Paris, Alain was part of the inner circle of the trade at Hôtel Drouot, alongside figures such as Édouard Brunet (Templier) and Michel Périnet, whose reputations were built on expertise, discretion, and the values that long defined the profession.
David worked alongside his father in Monaco before moving to New York, where he joined Paul Fisher Inc. as an apprentice — one of fewer than forty international dealers personally trained by Paul Fisher. There, he deepened his expertise and built the foundation of his New York network.
His sister, Emmanuelle Chassard, is a recognized expert in collectible and signed jewelry, from ancient works to the great French maisons of the twentieth century. Together, they founded La Galerie Parisienne on rue de Seine in 2006, which became an established address within the Paris trade. When David settled permanently in New York in 2010, Emmanuelle continued the gallery.
After more than thirty years in the trade — including over fifteen in New York — David now operates independently from his office in the heart of the diamond district, working exclusively with trade professionals: dealers, experts, and longstanding partners who share the same standards and values.
He remains one of the few dealers in New York specializing in French signed jewelry and hallmarks.

“In thirty years, the thrill of a find has never changed. A piece surfaces, you recognize it, and for a moment everything else stops.”
David Chassard is a second generation jewelry dealer. His father, Alain Chassard, founded Templier in the late 1980s — one of Monaco and the French Riviera's most celebrated antique jewelry stores. In Paris, Alain was part of the inner circle of the trade, alongside figures such as Édouard Brunet and Michel Périnet, whose reputations were built on expertise, discretion and values that defined the profession.
David worked alongside his father at Templier before leaving for New York, where he joined Paul Fisher Inc. as an apprentice — one of fewer than forty international dealers personally trained by Paul Fisher, a jeweler of legendary standing in the antique and signed jewelry trade. It was there that David deepened his expertise and laid the foundation of his New York network.
His sister, Emmanuelle Chassard, is a recognized expert in high collectible and signed jewelry. Together they co-founded La Galerie Parisienne on the rue de Seine in 2006 — a leading address in the Paris trade. When David settled permanently in New York in 2010, Emmanuelle continued the gallery.
Thirty years in the trade, more than fifteen of them in New York — David operates independently from his office in the heart of the diamond district, working exclusively with trade professionals — dealers, experts and partners who share the same values. He is today among the few dealers in New York specializing in French signed jewelry and hallmarks — and one of its most trusted.
David has always valued partnership. It is central to how he works and how he likes to do business.
There is a thrill to this work that never fades. Every find carries its own illusion — a piece that surfaces unexpectedly, recognized where others saw nothing. As information becomes more accessible, what remains irreplaceable is the eye, the judgment, and the handshake that still means more than any contract.
