A FINE DIAMOND BROOCH, BY CHAUMET, CIRCA 1955Of stylised openwork design, the principal round brilliant-cut diamond weighing approximately 1.40cts within a cluster of marquise-shaped diamonds, to a triple spray of brilliant and tapered baguette-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum, remaining diamonds approximately 8.00cts, signed Chaumet, within Chaumet fitted case, length 3.8cmChaumet was founded in 1780 by Marie-Etienne Nitot, with an establishment at the heart of place Vendôme. His creativity and quality of workmanship, led him to become one of the most sought-after jewellers in Europe and thus establish a loyal and prestigious clientele. Since its inception Chaumet has preserved and continued the Parisian tradition of expertly crafted fine jewellery.The history of Chaumet has been entwined with the History of France, with Nitot and his son, Francois Regnault Nitot becoming the official jeweller to Napoleon during the Consulate and the Empire, creating tiaras, official court jewels and fashion accessories. Napoleon’s marriage to Joséphine, then to Marie-Louise of Habsburg-Lorraine, Queen Marie-Antoinette’s great-niece, resulted in some impressive commissions for Chaumet. Following the fall of the Empire, Nitot’s successors Jean-Baptiste Fossin and his son, Jules, dedicated themselves to romantic jewellery inspired by the decorative arts of the Italian Renaissance and of the French 17th-century.In 1848, Jules Fossin set up a London branch in partnership with J.V., Morel, assisted by his son Prosper. On his return to Paris in 1954, Prosper Morel joined Jules Fossin whom he succeeded in 1868. Prosper Morel’s daughter married Joseph Chaumet in 1875. With exceptional creativity and inspired by the re-enchantment of nature, Joseph Chaumet came to be recognised as an undisputed master of the Belle Époque. In 1889, Chaumet took over the company and gave his name to the house.In 2001, the LVMH Group acquired the house and entrusted the reigns to Thierry Fritsch, an art lover who revived the business, all while preserving its original spirit. Pascal Bourdariat was made the 12th head of the workshop, and as tradition dictates, a special ceremony was held for the handover to initiate the new bearer of the tradition. The house’s skill is traditionally passed down from one head of the workshop to another, without interruption, reflecting the creativity and excellence of each era.In the 1920s Chaumet’s jewellery styles became more geometric in line, following art deco style, characterised by strong contrasts in colours and materials, the use of semi-precious stones, black and white, as well as exotic inspirations. The 1930s saw Chaumet becoming more feminine, continuing its style while exploring a certain modernity that echoed fine Parisian taste, ever in search of novelty and the avant-garde. In 1970, gold jewellery, sometimes set with hardstone, bronze or mother-of-pearl, was on offer in a new boutique concept.Chaumet’s legacy of bucolic beauty is a deep well of inspiration that bridges past and present designs. Today, the bees share Chaumet’s garden-inspired Jardin’s Collection with the spider, weaving its perilous web, playing their game of amorous hide-and-seek. The ‘Hortensia’ collections invite us into a delicate garden filled with vibrant colour, the ‘Bee my love’ collection, including the diamond bee and the honeycomb motif, celebrate an imperial pledge of love and the ‘Attrape Moi’ collection once again highlights the bee. The house’s international development continues with a network of stores across Europe, the Middle East, Japan and Asia. Chaumet’s headquarters at 12 Place Vendome still house the studio, workshop and boutique - including a “Tiara Hall” and a large 18th century lounge that has been classified as a national monument.For more than 230 years Chaumet’s excellence in high Jewellery has been passed down through generations of jewellers. Diamonds and precious stones, carefully selected for their exceptional clarity and brilliance, are sculpted into round, cushion, oval, emerald or the house’s signature pear-shaped cut, and then the jewellers, stone setters, polishers and engravers give life to the jewels, exhibited in magnificent pieces of jewellery. With inspiration drawn from Art Nouveau, nature and travels, Chaumet ceaselessly reinvents its aesthetic codes and creates jewels that are truly remarkable. The elegant diamond brooch embodies a naturalistic theme, with the large round brilliant diamond surrounded by smaller brilliant marquise shaped diamonds depicting a flower, all set to the side of an artistic design. This is a truly magnificent piece to be cherished, increasing the glamour stakes of any outfit.

AN IMPRESSIVE PAIR OF EMERALD AND DIAMOND 'CAROLINE' PENDENT EARCLIPS, BY REPOSSIEach of chandelier design, suspending series of lozenge and pear-shaped panels, set to the centre with collet-set cabochon emeralds, surrounded by round brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18K gold, diamonds approximately 8.50cts total, signed Repossi, Italian assay marks, length 6.5cmRich in heritage and craftsmanship, the fourth-generation, family-run House of Repossi is synonymous with elegance and style. The house is renowned for its exquisite, ornate and diamond-studded creations which incorporate exceptional stones into pieces that seamlessly blend contemporary designs with classical elements. The brand was first created in Turin, Italy by Constantino Repossi in 1920. Upon completing his studies in industrial design, the young Constantino took over his father’s jewellery business and atelier in post-war Italy. The first Repossi store was opened in 1949 in Turin during Italy’s modernist era. Art Deco and Avant-Garde styles prevailed in the first Repossi collections, which demonstrated Costantinos ability to combine both his technical and artistic backgrounds. Subsequently, Constantino’s son, Alberto, began designing pieces at the age of seventeen after learning the craftsmanship of the family’s atelier. In 1974, Alberto took charge of the house and brought the brand to international recognition. Under Alberto, the Repossi House saw the opening of a flagship store in Monte Carlo in 1977, followed by the Paris store in Place Vendôme in Paris in 1986. Repossi designs became famed for their elegance and were celebrated by many influential people. Repossi became the official purveyor to HRH The Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1994 which gave the house worldwide recognition. Repossi also became the official supplier to the Saudi Royal family, and to the Royal families of Qatar and Dubai. The house continues to work with royalty in many countries, and its designs are enjoyed by socialites, jewellery connoisseurs and celebrities worldwide. Today, much of the work is still done in the same workshops that were used in the 1920s. Following tradition, Alberto’s daughter Gaia Repossi is now leading the family business which is nearing its 100th anniversary and is more successful today than ever before.
A ROCK CRYSTAL, ONYX AND DIAMOND 'TORCHON' NECKLACE, BY SEAMAN SCHEPPSComposed of fluted rock crystal links, interspersed by further rock crystal and onyx discs, accented by five round brilliant-cut diamond rondelles, mounted in 18K gold, maker's mark for Seaman Schepps, length 97.5cmPlease note that this necklace can also be worn separately as two necklaces, lengths 46cm & 52cm.Jewellery designer Seaman Schepps is the embodiment of the American Dream. Schepps was born into an immigrant family and grew up in tenements on the Lower East Side of New York. His marvellous jewellery designs took the American market by storm in the 1930s allowing Schepps to rise through the social strata.With his pioneering designs including chunky brooches, barberic bracelets and bubble earrings, Schepps defined a new style of the American woman and his jewellery featured on the covers of top fashion publications such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Look. He counted Katherine Hepburn, Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, the Duchess of Windsor and Andy Warhol, as well as members of the Du Pont, Mellon and Rockerfeller families, all among his clients. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Schepps began to experiment with rock crystal. Carving and engraving the precious stone, he created pieces in which it complimented and counterbalanced other precious gem stones such as emerald or jade. He also produced exquisite examples which allowed the rock crystal to shine in its own light, similar in design to the present lot (albeit a contemporary piece inspired by the designs of the founder). Rock crystal enjoyed a resurgence in the 1960s when Schepps created further pieces of clean simplistic design such as the barrel ear clips and ring and the familiar shell ear clips composed solely of rock crystal paired with yellow gold. After Schepps’ death in 1972, Patricia Schepps Vaill continued to make jewellery in her father’s style, often using elements from pieces he had designed. Vaill developed a new look in jewellery aimed at appealing to a younger clientele. After twenty years at the helm of her father’s company, Vaill retired and passed the baton to Jay Bauer and Anthony Hopenhajm who have continued to produce jewellery in the unique Schepps style.Today’s designs continue to draw on the Schepps archives which contain over 5,000 detailed jewellery renderings, and 650 moulds. The pieces created in the workshop continue to be made with cutting-edge methods and inventive, unusual materials. Classic pieces are rendered in new materials and signature materials are used for bold new styles. The flagship store on Park Avenue at 58th Street continues to attract socialites, movie stars, royalty and trend-setters who are drawn to Schepps’ innovative use of exotic materials. Today, some 50 years after his death, he continues to inspire modern jewellers.
