A PAIR OF MABÉ PEARL AND DIAMOND EARRINGS, BY GEOFFREY TURK, 1987Each central mabé pearl within a frame pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18K gold, with maker's mark 'GT' for Geoffrey Turk, English hallmarks for London 1987, length 2.5cmGeoffrey Turk was born in 1935 and studied Gemmology and Jewellery Design and Manufacture at The Central School of Art & Design in London.Turk was for many years the business partner of Andrew Grima, perhaps the largest name in modern jewellery. Turk and Grima travelled throughout Europe together in the 1960s and set up stores in New York, Sydney, and Tokyo. Turk founded his own company in 1977 in Soho with talented workmen creating one-off jewellery pieces using gold and precious and semiprecious stones.Turk was, to some degree, an eccentric, who for example would take his pet cockatoo Arthur out onto the streets of London. This eccentricity, and the lavishness of 1980’s design mixed with Art Deco inspiration, can be seen in Lots 107, 108 and 109. These pieces highlight the luminescence of their diamonds and gems and employ curving lines to a delightful effect.Turk’s younger son Dominic is involved in the business today and his elder son is Gavin Turk, one of the original celebrated Young British Artists.*A special thank you to Helen Turk for her assistance with this biographyCondition Report: Pearls: mabé pearls - white tint with with silver and pink overtones, good lustreDiamonds: bright and livelyNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionFor pierced earsTotal gross weight approx. 20g

AN IMPORTANT PAIR OF EMERALD AND GEM-SET PENDENT EARRINGS, BY CHOPARD RED CARPET COLLECTION, 2017Each circular-cut emerald measuring approximately 18x18mm, within a heart-shaped purplish-blue titanium motif pavé-set throughout with circular-cut emeralds, tsavorites, blue sapphires, blue tourmalines and amethysts accented with brilliant-cut diamonds, suspended from a briolette cluster of similar stones and a pear-shaped amethyst surmount with further similarly-cut stones, mounted in 18K gold and titanium, signed Chopard, numbered, length 6cmThe legendary House of Chopard was founded in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard in the Swiss village of Sonvilier, focusing production on pocket watches and chronometers. Chopard revolutionised watch manufacture and lead the charge on creating and selling complete timepieces instead of just the mechanical movement which had been the industry standard. Chopard quickly rose to fame and could boast elite clients such as Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.After Chopards death in 1915 the business was led by his son Paul-Louis and grandson Paul-André. The father and son leadership expanded Chopards remit to create women’s wristwatches and by 1921 had grown enough to move the business to the larger town of Chaux-de-Fonds. Finally, in 1937 production was moved to Geneva, the city whose name has since so iconically appeared on the dials of Chopard watches.In 1963 Paul-André Chopard sold the family company to the much-admired horologist and goldsmith Karl Scheufele III. Under Scheufele’s leadership the brand grew in production and popularity at an astonishing rate.A watershed moment occurred for Chopard in 1976 when Scheufele, in collaboration with in-house designer Ronald Kurowski, released the first watch to feature free-floating diamonds within the face of the piece. The pleasing dance of the diamonds as one moved their wrist proved to be a huge success and Chopard pieces are still admired and sought after today for this innovative quality. The Happy Diamond Collection of 1985 continued this trend of free-floating diamonds and was inspired by Karl Scheufele’s daughter Caroline’s sketch of a clown with a “tummy full of diamonds”. This joy and exuberance are a mainstay of Chopard design and history.Chopard began their genius idea of collaborating with and sponsoring events for titans of industries, creating collections in tandem, in 1988 with their partnership with the legendary Mille Miglia sportscar race. Since then, Chopard have sponsored many events but most notably, and annually, the Cannes Film Festival. Sarah Greene includes Lot 178 in her favourite pieces from this auction, showing there is a natural affinity between celebrated actresses and pieces designed by Chopard.Lot 178 comes from the 2017 Red Carpet Collection which was designed for the year’s Cannes Film Festival and marked the 20th anniversary of Chopard’s connection to the glamorous and artistically driven awards. This collection, designed by Caroline Scheufele, featured bold, rich colours, and succeeded triumphantly in its goal to modernise the interpretation of red carpet jewellery. The teardrop shape of lot (44257-3) was noted and admired most for the sensuality it lends to the wearer, in addition to the kaleidoscope of colour that draws attention to the stunning piece.Speaking to jewellery journalist Katerina Perez, Caroline Scheufele explains:“In recent years, a sort of trend has emerged. Looks on the Red Carpet have become more fashionable and less classic. No one wants to wear a diamond solitaire or a ‘riviera’ necklace. Quite the opposite. Many actresses even experiment with ways to wear jewellery to reflect their own style. Take for example the attaching of brooches to the hair. These stars are more than happy when I include titanium jewellery in the Red Carpet collection as they seek something both incredibly light and bright. I would like to believe that I have somehow contributed to the shaping of Red Carpet trends,”Caroline Scheufele has certainly done more than contribute to Red Carpet trends, her collections are the trailblazers which dictate where jewellery design is heading and impacts all corners of the fashion world. The list of actresses who have worn pieces by Chopard in recent years only begins with Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, Sharon Stone, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marion Cotillard, Léa Seydoux, Penélope Cruz, Lupita Nyong’o, Fan Bing Bing, Isabelle Huppert, and Jane Fonda. Condition Report:Emeralds: of bluish-green hue, medium to dark tone, facets are smooth - both well matched in size and colourPear amethysts: of purple hue, medium to dark tone, both well matched in size and colourNumbered 3295018 - 840563Minor signs of wear, overall in good conditionWith stick post for pierced and non pierced earsTotal gross weight approx. 27.9g

A FINE DIAMOND BRACELET, BY KUTCHINSKY, 1967The articulated strap set with brilliant-cut diamonds throughout, between textured gold borders with foliate detailing, mounted in 18K gold, diamonds approximately 6.00cts total, with maker's mark for Kutchinsky, English hallmarks for London 1967, length 17.6cmKutchinsky is an admired, collectable, and highly respected brand whose 20th century pieces have been said to represent the interesting intersection of war and beauty.According to historian Mary Ann Wingfield, Hirsch Kutchinsky, having fled Poland with his son Morris and their family, founded the business on Commercial Road, London in 1893, girded with the experience of serving as jeweller to the court of Ludwig of Bavaria. By 1930 the business was well-respected and multigenerational with Morris’ son Joseph working his way up, learning the importance of craftsmanship and customer service. Joseph quickly rose to head the firm’s production of platinum and diamond watches. His natural salesmanship, charisma, and seemingly endless energy ensured the company’s continuing success.Joseph Kutchinsky married in 1940, just before he was called to serve in the Second World War. After his service, he returned to lead the family firm.Jewellery created by Kutchinsky during the late 1940s and the 1950s were striking and ostentatious, celebrating the end of wartime restrictions and the ability to once again have access to luxury items. Marquise and baguette diamonds adorned rings, bangles, brooches and earrings, many pieces also used beautiful gemstones and natural materials like coral and turquoise. Kutchinsky was especially known at this time for their stone-cutting technique and for their oftentimes whimsical designs including animal and floral pieces.From 1960 to 1991 Sannit & Stein was the main workshop for Kutchinsky. This workshop, along with Joseph’s sons Paul and Roger Kutchinsky (who took over leadership in 1989), shared an obsession with Fabergé. This interest can clearly be seen in Kutchinsky’s employment of flashy designs and a mission to use only the highest quality materials. This obsession has become a cornerstone of the Kutchinsky story, inspiring Paul’s daughter Serena, a journalist, to write many articles about this era of the House’s history.London’s high society, as well as customers from as far afield as the Middle East, sought out the designs created by the House of Kutchinsky. The Middle East proved particularly lucrative, until the invasion of Kuwait and the war that followed.Kutchinsky jewellery at auction now distinguishes itself from a backdrop of mass-produced items. Its uniqueness is a leading factor in the brand’s timeless and iconic status and has contributed significantly to the demand for and value of the jewellery.Lot 72 and Lot 73 certainly capture the lustre and magnificence expected from Kutchinsky. The repeating floral patterns in both diamonds and gold in Lot 72 exudes a celebration of nature and of the beautiful, glistening gems and gold that make up the piece. Similarly, Lot 73 centres the dynamism of diamonds and gold with a delicate and fanciful leaf motif while Lot 75 is both refined and playful with the use of onyx and coral. These pieces, which are from the 1960s and 1980s, are a wonderful example of the work of Kutchinsky from this time. They reflect the zeitgeist, as jewellery historian Alba Cappellieri explains, “This was indubitably the decade of art jewellery and experimental jewellery … making it instead a form of research of experimentation unlinked to manufacturing logics and marketing demands.”Condition Report: Diamonds: approx. 6.00cts total, unable to assess colour due to yellow mount, estimated clarity VSNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 84.9g
