H. Moissan’s new flagship in Mexico City brings to life the identity that Monserrat Olivier describes as a new kind of luxury: design, quality, and a more conscious approach to jewelry. The store was developed from the construction stage to create a space that reflects the essence of the brand. Among its latest offerings is Technicolor, a collection that incorporates colored gemstones such as sapphires, rubies, and emeralds.

For Oliver, being involved in the design process has also meant exploring a creative side that goes beyond simply wearing jewelry. One of the pieces she designed, inspired by a crown worn by Queen Elizabeth II, was even selected by Skira for the cover of a book about the brand. The expansion will continue in November with a new location in Monterrey, followed by plans to enter the New York market. And as H. Moissan explores new categories, Monserrat takes us through Mexico City, sharing some of her favorite places along the way:

Breakfast at... “Matizzz (Matisse),” Oliver says when asked where she likes to have breakfast in Mexico City. It is one of her recommendations for starting the day in the capital.

A walk outdoors. For spending time outside and enjoying the city, her choice is more specific: Masaryk, one of the avenues that forms part of her usual route through Mexico City.

To end the day. For a more traditional side of the city, Oliver recommends heading to Garibaldi, specifically El Tenampa, where she suggests having a “banderita.”

Her approach to travel. For Olivier, jewelry is also part of everyday life. One of the things she values most about H. Moissan is precisely the possibility of wearing its pieces in different settings: with a T-shirt, jeans, or sweatpants, but also at an elegant event. That versatility, she says, is part of the way she understands luxury today.

What’s next. As the brand moves forward with its expansion to Monterrey and New York, Oliver also anticipates new projects: a book published by Skira, a bone China tableware collection, and tests for developing a champagne or prosecco offering of its own. The expansion, however, continues to be guided by an idea that runs throughout her vision: creating pieces that combine design and quality with greater awareness of their impact.
