Among its most notable collaborations is that with Pierre Sterlé, several of whose designs were crafted in René Bry’s workshops. Its history also intersects with that of Van Cleef Arpels, where René Bry served as managing director during the Occupation. Renamed René Bry Cie in 1957, the house continued to uphold its tradition of craftsmanship under the leadership of his sons Frédéric and Jean-Marc Bry, before gradually ceasing operations following René Bry’s death in 1992.
