The famous jewelry manufacturing company Carvin French also know as the iconic Jewelers' Jeweler, was created in New York in 1954 by two french bench jewelers, André Chervin and Serge Carponcy. The partners had come to the United States after having trained and apprenticed by the careful supervision of Parisian Master Jewelers. The name''Carvin'' is the combination of the first letters of''Carponcy'' and''Chervin''.

The combination of their French''savoir-faire'' with American vitality, inspiration and creation was an immediate success! The workshop, established as Carvin French Jewelers started creating magnificent jewels for the most prestigious jewelry houses in the world starting with Raymond Yard, Verdura and Donald Claflin then with giants such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Harry Winston, Bvlgari, Tiffany & Co.

Serge Carponcy retired in 1983, and André continued as the sole CEO. Chervin directs Carvin French along with his nephew, Sylvain Chervin, and his daughter, Carole Chervin.
