Learn About the brand

Foundations of a Family Legacy In 1906, brothers Oscar and Nathan Heyman arrived in New York City from Latvia, bringing with them skills forged abroad. As teenagers—just thirteen and sixteen—they had been sent to apprentice at a Fabergé workshop, where they developed the discipline, precision, and mastery that would define their work. Oscar Heyman was hired by Pierre Cartier as the first non-French jeweler employed at the House, helping to establish Cartier’s New York workshop and earning early recognition for his expertise. Nathan excelled working in a tool-and-die shop in Long Island City, experience which would serve his future company tremendously. In 1912, Oscar, Nathan, and their younger brother Harry founded Oscar Heyman & Brothers. In the years that followed, six more siblings joined them in New York; ultimately, eight of the nine Heyman brothers and sisters would contribute their talents to the House. More than a century later, Oscar Heyman remains independent and family-run, stewarded by the second and third generations and recognized worldwide for exceptional jewelry. https://oscarheyman.com/
