Julie Lambert-Coucot, founder of Coucot Joaillerie, comes from a family of watchmakers and jewelers established in Northern France since 1954. The story began with her grandfather, a native of Franche-Comté, who traveled from Besançon—first by train, then by bicycle—to sell watches across the region before settling in the small town of Avion, near Lens.

Her father later took over the family jewelry store in 1987, while her uncle opened his own workshop in Valenciennes. Born a year later, Julie grew up surrounded by this creative world and naturally inherited the family passion.
Gifted in drawing and drawn to art, she began studying jewelry at 15 years old in Morteau, then continued at the prestigious École Boulle in Paris, where she earned a Diplôme des Métiers d’Art.

She went on to work for several renowned jewelry houses, perfecting her craftsmanship and artistic eye. During a professional experience in Madagascar, she discovered the beauty of horn, a material that deeply inspired her. Familiar with its use in Art Nouveau—notably by René Lalique—Julie fell in love with its texture and expressiveness.

Back in France, she realized that horn had fallen out of use and decided to restore its elegance and relevance, making it a signature element of her creations.

Rooted in the Hauts-de-France region and guided by a passion passed down through generations, Julie Lambert-Coucot creates jewelry that celebrates both heritage and modern artistry.

Founded by Julie Lambert-Coucot, La Maison Coucot embodies the heritage of a family of watchmakers and jewelers from Northern France. After several years as a jeweler in Paris, Julie returned home in 2013 to open her own atelier and launch her first brand, L’Artisan Créateur.
Her creations quickly gained attention in France and abroad, featured in artisan fairs and international shows such as Maison & Objet, Bijorhca, and Inhorgenta, with more than 110 partner boutiques by 2020.

In 2019, driven by the desire to express a more personal vision, Julie founded her eponymous brand, COUCOT—a name that reflects her commitment to authentic, timeless, and sustainable jewelry. Crafted in France from horn, silver, and gold, her creations combine raw beauty and refined elegance, embodying a singular style in the world of fine jewelry.

Joining Maisons de Mode in 2020, Julie opened her first boutique-atelier in Lille, further establishing Coucot as a symbol of modern French craftsmanship. Her talent was recognized with the Grand Prix Maisons de Mode in 2022, honoring her passion, creativity, and dedication to meaningful, lasting jewelry.

Specialized in the creation of high-end jewelry and accessories, La Maison Coucot proudly continues the tradition of French craftsmanship within its family atelier. Each piece—whether a ring, necklace, or bracelet—is designed, shaped, and assembled entirely by hand in our Atelier-Boutique in Lille, where heritage meets modern creativity.

“Our expertise is born from a passion passed down through generations—repeating the same precise, attentive gestures every day, at every
stage of creation.” This artisanal approach ensures that every Coucot jewel is unique,
infused with emotion and authenticity.

A few steps from the boutique, the atelier reveals the soul of the craft: workbenches covered in silver casts, delicate chains awaiting assembly, and pieces of horn ready to be sculpted. This noble and natural material, less known than silver,
lies at the heart of our identity. When observed closely, it reveals subtle shades and textures—each as distinctive as the jewel it will become.

At La Maison Coucot, every creation celebrates responsible beauty, blending tradition, artistry, and a deep respect for materials and time.
