Émile Froment-Meurice (1837-1913) was a goldsmith and jeweler, the third generation of goldsmiths in the House Froment-Meurice, which he took over in 1859. Like his father, he was an official supplier to the city of Paris. Known primarily as a silversmith rather than a jeweler, Émile Froment-Meurice won numerous awards, including a gold medal at the 1867 Paris World's Fair. In 1900, he participated in the Paris World's Fair, exhibiting both jewelry in the style of the time and goldsmithing.
