Golay Fils & Stahl was founded in 1837 by the clockmaker Golay-Leresche at 31, Quai des Bergues, Geneva, Switzerland. The company remained in family hands, specialising in watches, until the beginning of the 20th Century. It was then purchased by Stahl, at which time the current name came into existence. In 1962, the firm was purchased by Jacques Wolfgang who headed it until his death in 1976, at which point, his son Jesse took over. Retail operations ceased in December 1997 to concentrate on wholesale activities at the high end of the jewellery market, the core of the family business for five generations.

Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects with coloured material held in place or separated by metal strips or wire, normally of gold. In recent centuries, vitreous enamel has been used, but inlays of cut gemstones, glass and other materials were also used during older periods, indeed, cloisonné enamel very probably began as an easier imitation of cloisonné work using gems. The resulting objects can also be called cloisonné.
