Seraphin Emile Vernier (1852-1927) was a French sculptor, metal worker, and engraver who became an expert on Egyptian jewelry antiquities and president of the Societie des artistes decorateurs from 1905 to 1910. After completing his apprenticeship and practicing jewelry-making, he exhibited his work for the first time at the Paris Salon in 1876. By 1888, Vernier started designing medals. In 1896, he was commissioned by the French government to study ancient Egyptian jewelry. For his resulting book, the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres gave him the prix Delalande-Guerineau. Vernier also received a Bronze Medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1900.
Vernier was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1903. He died in Paris on September 9, 1927.
