AN ENAMEL AND DIAMOND BANGLE BRACELET, DESIGNED BY JEAN SCHLUMBERGER FOR TIFFANY & COThe hinged bangle with applied black paillonné enamel, highlighted with collet-set brilliant-cut diamonds on fluted gold links, mounted in 18K gold, diamonds approximately 5.00cts total, signed Tiffany & Co, Schlumberger, France, French assay mark, with maker's case, inner diameter 5.9cm, inner length approximately 17cmJean Schlumberger (1907-1987) began his career in Paris in the 1930s as a designer of costume jewellery for the renowned couturier Elsa Schiaparelli and by the end of the decade he was creating fine jewellery for a discerning clientèle. In 1939 he joined forces with Nicholas Bongard and together they opened a jewellery shop at 745 Fifth Avenue. From plummy amethysts to bursting bright turquoise, Schlumberger looked to nature for inspiration, combining coloured gems with diamonds and yellow gold to create a riot of hue and light.Tiffany & Co., under the direction of Walter Hoving, recruited Schlumberger in 1955 with hopes to breathe new life into the company and create a new look. Schlumberger was one of only four jewellers that Tiffany has allowed to sign their work and it was his playful imagination that mounted a jewelled bird on top of the famous Tiffany Yellow Diamond.In many ways a man ahead of the crowd, Schlumberger was the first jewellery designers to be awarded the prestigious ‘Coty American Fashion Critics’ Award in 1958.“Schlumberger brings to his art classic design principles of the Renaissance,” reported The Blue Book of 1986. Diana Vreeland, the respected editor of Vogue, wrote that Schlumberger appreciated “the miracle of jewels, which for him are the ways and means to the realisation of his dreams”.Created in his studio on the mezzanine level of Tiffany’s Fifth Avenue flagship store, his designs became de rigueur for fashionable women of the time including Diana Vreeland, Babe Paley, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn.Perhaps most famous of all his designs were his pailloné enamel bracelets, which were to become dubbed ‘Jackie Bracelets’ due to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Bouvier’s fondness for the pieces, of which she owned several. The shimmering colours of the bracelet were achieved through an unusual technique wherein translucent enamel and foil were layered on top of another. One of Schlumberger’s most enduring designs, this bracelet can still be found in Tiffany’s contemporary collections and are still admired and sought after. Of these bracelets, Diana Vreeland wrote “His enamel is perfection…He likes to stab enamel with nails of gold, as if to hold it from flying back to the world of nature from which he’s taken its colours”.Schlumberger retired in the late 1970s and died in 1987, but more than a hundred of his designs continue to be made by Tiffany artisans. In 1995, he became only the third ever jewellery designer to be honoured with a retrospective on his work titled ‘Un Diamant dans la Ville’ in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, who still house many of his original design sketches.Schlumberger pieces have not only held their value at auction but continue to increase.Condition Report: Enamel: no damage observedDiamonds: bright and well matchedSignature located inside braceletEagle's head for French 18K gold located on tongue of claspNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionWith security barTotal gross weight approx. 128.80g

A DIAMOND NECKLACE, BY GIO CAROLIComposed of openwork concave discs, the frontispiece embellished with pavé-set brilliant-cut similar plaques, mounted in 18K gold, diamonds approximately 4.00cts total, signed Gio Caroli, Italian assay mark, length 41.5cmThe brainchild of a marketing and advertising studio owner and a scion of a legendary jewellery house, Giò Caroli was founded in Valenza in 1970 by Carlo Ciarli and Giovanni Illario. The mission of the brand was to introduce fresher, more lively jewellery to the market that was both sturdy yet stylish to allow for everyday wear.Their designs focused heavily on the layering and repetition of geometric shapes, such semi-circles, circles and rectangles, creating clean lines that spoke to the inherent modernity of the brand. Burnished steel appeared alongside gold, a move that leant the pieces durability but also spoke to the economic crisis facing Italy in 1970s which led to the past trend of flashy jewellery and ornamentation lapse in favour of more industrial designs. Yet far from pieces of only a certain era, the jewellery of Giò Caroli was in many ways ahead of its time, so much so in fact that between 1974-75, the brand began to introduce smaller, more conventional jewellery designs to their collections to appeal to the younger generation of the era. Although burnished steel and gold were still de rigueur, enamel and semi-precious stones were added to switch things up and create a more diverse look.Giò Caroli was sold in 1983 to an Anglo-Arab group based in Milan, but production for the brand continued until the mid-1990s.The works of Giò Caroli endure because Ciarli and Giovanni could sense the changing times they lived in and appreciated the need to create jewellery that was more affordable and appealing to younger generations. This insight freed their jewellery from dating in style and their works remain ever contemporary as a result.Condition Report: Diamonds: approx. 4.00cts total, unable to assess colour due to yellow mount, estimated clarity VSNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 71g

It was here that Frascarolo began to design and craft his signature enamel and gold animal creations, the ‘Bestiario’, for which he would become best known.Frascarolo's animal jewels were produced throughout the 1960s and proved so popular that he was unofficially dubbed the ‘David Webb of Italy’.

They have provided a photo of its mould.Brothers Carlo, Vincenzo and Luigi Illario were a family of goldsmiths from Valenza. They established a jewellery firm in 1920, with each brother taking on their own position. Carlo, who was trained in Paris, headed the production, Vincenzo was a stone setter who also selected the precious gems, and Luigi was head of administration.The brothers worked under their own name, as well as for bigger firms, and were involved with several different jewellery companies. Some of the most renowned goldsmiths in Valenza practised in their workshop, guaranteeing that each product was crafted with exceptional quality.The company brand from 1935 had been 26AL and the business name was under Carlo Illario e Filli. Traditionally, ownership was handed down from father to son and, in 1953, even Luigi's sons, Giovanni and Vittorio, became a part of the family business. From the end of the 1900s, Vittorio and his sons, Pier Luigi and Edoardo, carried on as owners of the company with the 'Illario 1920' logo.In 1996, Giovanni Illario, along with his sons Carlo and Gian Luca, agreed with Vittorio and his sons to set up a new company that would allow them to be more active in the foreign market. This led to a split in Societa Carlo Illario and to the creation of the new Societa Carlo Luca della Quercia which pursues the traditions and spirit of the original company.Their skilled craftsmanship, reputation of excellence and use of innovative goldsmith techniques caught the attention of well-established retailers. Throughout the 20th century, Casa Illario created unique pieces of haute joaillerie for the most famous Italian maisons: Bvlgari, Cusi, Faraone, Fasano, Fecarotta, Settepassi, Ventrella and others. The company's partnership with Bvlgariwas particularly long standing, running from the 1950s through until the 1970s.In this time, Illario made many pieces for Bvlgari, including the now iconic Serpenti watch bracelet. Elizabeth Taylor was a consistent patron, whose personal style and love of dramatic jewels found its home in Illario's creations.Alongside manufacturing for other brands, Illario produced a vibrant assortment of jewellery under their own name. They were known for their fine gemstones and unusual materials, such as polychrome enamel, tortoiseshell and mother of pearl. Striving to stand out, Illario used new techniques in its pieces, such as black rhodium plating to create a contrasted look.

From the private collection of a continental ladyAN ENAMEL PENDANT, BY CARLO ILLARIO FOR FASANOThe white oval plaque with enamel baronial family coat of arms depicting three bull’s heads on a red shield crowned by a coronet and knights helmet, the textured and foliate gold frame with similar bale, mounted in 18K gold, signed Fasano, Italian registry mark ‘26AL’ for Carlo Illario,, length (including bale): 7.2cm, width 4.8cmIllario's workshop was able to confirm that this ring was a unique piece made in the 1970s for Fasano.Born to a family of cotton manufacturers in Chieri in 1900, Mario Fasano’s undoubted eye for beauty would lead to him opening his first jewellery business, ‘Gioielleria Fasano’, in Turin in 1928. Throughout his work, Fasano adhered to the traditional practices of Parisian jewellers, and, while styles changed, the craftmanship that lay at the heart of their work was honoured by him throughout his life. He married Stella Piovano in 1932 and she was to be his life-long partner in every sense of the term. Together in 1935 they opened their first store in Piazza Castello, the heart of Turin’s lively social scene.As the white gems and platinum of the 1930s gave way to the bold colours and yellow gold of the 1940s and 50s, Fasano’s signature pheasant or ‘Fagiona’ brooch, the emblem of his maison, became a recognisable staple in the world of fine Italian jewellery. As the 50s progressed, Fasano’s and Stella’s attention moved more towards the selection of precious and unusual stones, favouring cabochon cuts and those less traditional cuts. When their son Dario Fasano joined the family business in the 1960s, the older generation drew on his experiences studying abroad to bring a fresher spin on their materials and techniques, such as lava stone and gold/bronze combinations.Fasano Jewellers closed operations in 2013, but their pieces still embody some of the best in mid-century jewellery.Condition Report: Minor signs of wearSignature and maker's mark located on loopMinor signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 35.4g
