Lot 102

A SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING, BY CHARLES DE TEMPLE, 1979The textured gold hoop with two circular-cut sapphire and three brilliant-cut diamond accents, mounted in 18K gold, signed CdeT for Charles de Temple, with London hallmarks for 1979, ring size IBorn in Mexico in 1929, the drama of Charles de Temple’s jewellery designs can no doubt be traced to his childhood, the stuff of storybooks. The illegitimate son of American actor Tom Mix, De Temple grew up in the famous Ringling Brothers Circus, with whom he toured across the Northern America.De Temple began his jewellery career in 1950s while living in Massachusetts, but a move to London in 1957 would propel him on the path to become one of the most important jewellery designers of the 1960s. Alongside contemporaries such as Andrew Grima, De Temple would become a pioneer in the field, pushing jewellery design to strange and new places, making wearable works of art that often more closely resembled sculptures more than necklaces or bracelets. Noted for his technical skill as well as his radical designs, De Temple became known for his gold work, expertly manipulating the soft metal into abstract, textured designs that drew inspiration from the swinging sixties during which he lived, a time of massive social upheaval, where beauty was no longer confined to traditional forms.With this newfound fame came several notable commissions. Perhaps his most famous work, De Temple created the titular ‘Goldfinger’ ring as worn by Honour Blackman in the iconic 1964 James Bond film. This would be followed by the wedding ring featured in the 1969 James Bond film ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ for the on-screen nuptials of Agent 007 and Contessa Teresa “Tracy” di Vicenzo.De Temple’s work would remain highly influential well into the 1970s. Running a workshop in London at this time, he also created standalone sculptures in gold and created several pieces for the British Royal family, including a white gold, sapphire and diamond brooch gifted by Queen Elizabeth to her younger sister Princess Margaret in 1970, sweetly inscribed with “To my dearest sister, love Lilibet”.The explosion of popularity in this era of jewellery in the last few years has seen Charles de Temple’s work once more come to the spotlight, where it belongs.Condition Report: Normal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 9.1g

In 1970 they exhibited at Booty Jewellery in New Bond Street and a full retrospective of Heltzel’s work was shown in The National Craft Gallery, Kilkenny in  2005.Condition Report: Normal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 25g

A HARDSTONE AND GOLD BRACELET, BY CARLO WEINGRILL, CIRCA 1960The anchor-link chain interspersed with polished amazonite beads, mounted in 18K gold, with Italian registry mark for Carlo Weingrill between 1944-1968, length 23.2cmBorn in Verona in 1856, Carlo Weingrill began his career early, earning an apprenticeship in a goldsmith's shop at the age of eleven. After over a decade of training, Carlo established his own workshop in his hometown in 1879. It specialised in making the finest 18ct gold jewels using the highest quality materials and craftsmanship.From the beginning Carlo employed goldsmiths who handcrafted their jewellery rather than using machines. The importance of this kind of artistry and exceptional knowledge of one material was very important to the vision of the Weingrill brand. This tradition of expertise continues within the company and the jewellery produced are timeless pieces, wearable works of art such as heavy gold link chains and bracelets which fit the body perfectly.While intricate in their composition such as the complex interlinked design of the bracelet in this sale, they are comfortable and also highly elegant everyday pieces.After Carlo's death in 1924, the company was taken over by his two sons Armando and Gastone. They set about expanding this artisan company into a major international name which gained worldwide prestige for its workmanship. However, despite its success, the house has always remained tied to its history, with the fourth generation of the Weingrill family, Carlofilippo, now head of the company.Gold has always been the mainstay of the company's designs, eschewing diamonds and coloured gemstones, which are used sparingly. The distinctive warm yellow tone of the Italian gold has become synonymous with the house, with Weingrill designing some of the most famous signature gold jewellery of the 20th century. For Cartier they created the Trinity bangles, the gold cuff bracelets for Tiffany and probably most notably the tuboga-style bracelets, necklaces and rings for Bulgari.Condition Report: With Italian registry mark '15VR' for Carlo Weingrill between 1944-1968Normal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 51.8g

The name has quite a personal relation to the man himself, Chantecler being his nickname given to him by his friends. It reflected his love of fun and socialising often staying up partying until the early morning hours.Nearly two decades on from beginning to trade in Capri, Chantecler opened his first shop on the Via Camerelle. As the first jewellery shop on the island it was a highly respected institution even after the arrival of many more companies in the following years.Living amongst the beautiful landscape of Capri, Chantecler derived most of its inspiration from the natural world. Marine subjects were very popular amongst their designs and became instant classics. He fully immersed himself in the glamorous lifestyle of Capri, befriending the rich and famous personalities and hosting lavish parties at his villa.Chantecler had only one main collaborator during his career, Salvatore Aprea, who began working with the company in 1947 and who continued the business following Capuano’s death in 1981. Today the brand is run by his family, headed by his children Maria Elena, Constanze and Gabriele. They have continued on their father’s legacy, caring for the heritage of the brand while also maintaining it’s relevance in the current market. They have expanded to a number of locations including Milan, Tokyo and most recently Hong Kong.Condition Report: Sapphires: of blue hue, medium to dark tone, good transparency, one sapphire with evident colour zoning visible with naked eyeDiamonds: bright and lively - unable to assess colour due to yellow mount, estimated clarity VSSignature located on clasp + 750 for 18K gold located on the tongueClasp secureMinor signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 79g

A RUBY DRESS RING, BY VERNEYOf quilted design, set throughout with square-cut rubies within articulations, mounted in 18K gold, signed Verney, numbered R265, ring size HFounded in the 1980 and located in the world-renowned Place Vendome, Verney Paris boasts some of the finest pedigree in the world of fine jewellery. The maison’s creator, owner and designer, the eminent Michel Emerlin, has been called one of the founders of the “joaillerie Classique” style in French jewellery, which draws inspiration from renowned jewellers of the early-to-mid twentieth century, such as Belperron and Boivin, and adapted the forms for contemporary living. Emerlin has always maintained his philosophy that jewellery designers should introduce new trends, not follow them, which can be seen in his pioneering use of black gold in his iconic Triage ring. The intention of the black gold was to make the setting seem to disappear in order to best bring out the colour of the gem.“My design intention and the sole purpose of each piece is to generate an emotion,” Michael explained in an interview with Solitaire Magazine Hong Kong.Today, Verney Paris holds its place in the world of fine jewellery through its persistent, if not always pronounced, influence on design.Condition Report: Rubies: of red hue, medium tone, good transparencyNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 24.50g

A GEM-SET CROSS PENDANT, BY LALAOUNISThe stylised textured gold cross of Byzantine style set with circular-cut sapphires and rubies with beading detailing, with similar bale, mounted in 18K gold, with maker's mark for Lalaounis, numbered E.69 and stamped Greece, length 6.8cm Greek jeweller Ilias Lalalounis was born in Athens in 1920, the fourth generation of a family of goldsmiths and watchmakers from Delphi. After studying economics and law at the University of Athens, he joined his uncles jewellery firm, where, apprenticed as a goldsmith, he learned the skills that were to determine his future as a master craftsman.Prompted by a passion for history, he began studying the art of his ancestors. In the 1950s he was inspired by Greek museum artefacts and transformed them into jewellery by reviving age-old techniques while also introducing the use of modern technology. His creative aim was to convey the spiritual and symbolic link of an object to its historical past, the art of neglected techniques, such as granulation, filigree, hand-weaving and hand-hammering.Lalaounis founded the Greek Jewellers Association and exhibited his first collection in 1957, the archeological collection, inspired by Classical, Hellenistic and Minoan-Mycenaean art, with modern jewels steeped in antiquity. In the 1960s, after his uncle passed away, Ilias Lalaounis started his own company. His collections, consisting of 18 and 22 karat gold pieces, were inspired by the art of many different cultures and periods. His interest spanned from prehistoric to Minoan art, from Persian to Byzantine, from Chinese art to the art of the Tudors. In the 70s, Lalaounis provoked a sensation with his collection BLOW UP, draping the human body in gold jewellery. He followed this by redefining new means of expression, inspired by spheres such as nature and science, flowers and biosymbols, the random movements of animal and plant cells, orbits and constellationsIn 1986 Lalaounis became the first jeweller to be honoured with the prestigious induction to the Academie des Beaux Arts et des Lettres of Paris.As appreciation of his work spread, the business continued to grow, expanding throughout Europe, Asia and America.Ilias Lalaounis continued creativity was passed on to his four daughters since 1998, who have been taking the respected brand to new heights of excellence and design.Condition Report: Sapphires: of blue hue, dark tone, overall well matched in colourRubies: of purplish-red hue, medium to dark tone, well matched in colourNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 20g

A FINE PAIR OF CULTURED PEARL AND DIAMOND PENDENT EARCLIPS, BY VERDURAEach surmount designed as stylised knots pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, suspending a detachable cultured pearl drop of white or black tint, each caped with similarly-cut diamonds, mounted in 18K gold and platinum, diamonds approximately 7.50cts total, signed Verdura, with maker's mark for 'Amalphy', French assay marks, stamped 'Made in France', with maker's pouch, length 4.7cm and without pearl 2.3cmBorn in 1899 in Palermo, Italy, to an aristocratic family, Fulco Santostefano della Cerda’s, Duke of Verdura's, earliest beginnings were steeped in the beauty and sumptuousness inherent to both his homeland and social status. A vivacious and imaginative child, Fulco’s later designs would be deeply influenced by the family’s 18th century home, Villa Niscemi, as well as his love of nature and happy childhood days rambling around the vast estate. Inheriting the title of duke at the young age of, it became clear that the family’s financial situation did not reflect its noble status, and Verdura knew he would have to make a career for himself in order to upkeep the extravagant lifestyle to which he was accustomed. Having joined the army in 1916, Verdura would have to abandon a promising military career after sustaining a serious should injury which took months of recuperation to heal from. Luckily, the young duke had a wealth of family connections that placed him at the centre of Europe’s glittering interwar society.While on a visit to Venice in 1927 with his good friends, celebrated composer Cole Porter and his socialite wife Linda, Verdura was introduced to Coco Chanel. The two connected instantly, and shortly thereafter Verdura moved to Paris to work for Chanel as a textile designer. However, the young duke’s flair for jewellery design soon became evident and he began to help Chanel rework pieces from her own personal collection, some of which would be copied to be sold at the iconic 31 Rue Cambon location. Little of Verdura’s early work from this period survives, however by 1930 the design that would solidify his representation as one of the period’s foremost jewellery designers came into being. The Maltese Cross jewels consisted of two mismatched gold crosses set with an array of colourful gems, both Byzantian yet oddly contemporary in look. Verdura’s first Maltese Cross pieces were a pair of brooches which he gifted to the renowned fashion editor Diana Vreeland. Next came a pair of white enamel cuffs for Chanel herself, which she wore constantly. The lack of symmetry, yellow gold and brightly coloured stones were in stark contrast to the clean lines and white gold and platinum favoured by other jewellery designers of the time.In 1934, Verdura left Paris for the United States, where his charm, pedigree and good looks allowed him to easily insert himself into high society. Landing in New York before making his way to California, Verdura would meet Paul Flato, Hollywood’s most prominent jewellery designer, and soon became his Head of Design, his work appearing on the necks, arms, and fingers of era’s most standout starlets. By the late 1930s however, Verdura was ready to strike out on his own. His first solo store was opened at 712 Fifth Avenue on September 1st, 1939, the very day war was declared in Europe. The war denied American jewellery connoisseurs the ability to commission works from the master French and Italian ateliers, but Verdura filled the gap by introducing a uniquely European flair to the American market. He continued to produce commissions for actresses, notably Joan Fontaine, and New York society queens throughout the decade, but a collaboration with surrealist artist Salvador Dalí in 1940 allowed Verdura to explore his love of fine art through the lens of jewellery making. The collection consisted of five miniatures painted by Dalí, set by Verdura with gold and jewels. The pieces were exhibited at both the Julien Levy Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art in New York throughout 1941 and 1942, before being bought into private collections, although some re-merged for the Verdura company’s 75th anniversary exhibition The Power of Style: Verdura at 75 in 2014.Verdura’s success continued throughout the 40s, 50s and 60s. It seems he designed pieces for almost every style icon of the era, from royalty to socialites. Notable pieces include the Indian Feather Tiara created in 1957 for Betsey Cushing Whitney and the Double Crescent bracelet, which first appeared in 1940s and but was revived in popularity when it was worn by Princess Diana in 1997.After decades living in the world of glitter and gold, Verdura retired to London in 1973, passing on the company to his long-time business associate Joseph Alfano. The duke would spend the last few years of life indulging his other creative loves, publishing his childhood memoir The Happy Summer Days in 1976. He died in 1978 and was buried in his beloved hometown of Palermo.The Verdura company, meanwhile, continued to maintain its place in the world of fine jewellery. In 1983 the company was sold to Ward Landrigan, the former Head of Jewellery at Sotheby’s. The sale included the complete Verdura archives, consisting of over 10,000 original drawings and sketches, almost half of which were never realised. Landrigan aimed to re-introduce Verdura’s genius to a new generation and in 2004 was joined in the business by his son, Nico Landrigan, who became the company’s president in 2009. Today, Verdura’s classic collections are still available for purchase, including the Constellation Collection, the Caged Collection, the Byzantium Collection, and the Stardust Collection, each with their own unique backstory that offers insight into the mind of their brilliant creator.Verdura’s jewellery was never produced on a mass scale and his most famous pieces were often commissioned works. This has made the Verdura name all the more collectible for the discerning jewellery lover at auction.Condition Report: Cultured pearls:One black: Very good lustre, with green and pink overtones, minor natural blemishes visible under a bright light sourceOne White: Very good lustre, with green, pink and silver overtones, superficial natural blemishes visible under a bright light sourceDiamonds: approx. 7.50cts total, bright and livelySignature, French assay marks and maker's marks located on the clip fittingsEarclips for non pierced ears, includes rubber bands on the back fittingsEagle's head for French 18K gold and dog's head for French platinumMinor signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 47.40g

A DIAMOND DRESS RING, BY ENIGMADesigned as stylised lips, pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds throughout, mounted in 18K gold, signed Enigma, Italian registry mark, with maker's pouch, ring size N¾Gianni Bulgari was born in 1935, the eldest son of Giorgio Bulgari and grandson of the founder, Sotirio. Together with his cousin Marina Bulgari, he led the family company as co-CEO for a number of years before taking over the full title until 1985.He left Bulgari after selling his stake to his brothers, Nicola and Paolo in 1987 and spent the next ten years as chairman of the Italian sportswear brand Fila. At the same time, Gianni was also working on another project of his own making. He established GB-Enigma, a luxury watch-making company, in 1989 but it was not until 2002 that he began to solely focus on the brand.Together with his son, Giorgio, he opened the first GB-Enigma store in Rome in 2005, and another in Geneva in 2006. The brand later extended into fine jewellery creating lines that are immediately recognisable and individual.Citing the decorative arts and specifically Art Deco and Bauhaus of the 1920s and 30s as inspirations, he injected new and challenging energy into the high jewellery market. With a focus on precious metals and superior craftsmanship, GB-Enigma reintroduced lesser used materials such as jet and silver with a bang, working them into bold eye-catching designs. It is very much a brand of its time, designed to complement the personality of the wearer. Condition Report: Diamonds: bright and livelyNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 9.3g

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.Condition Report: Citrines: Well matched in colour - minor surface scratches visible under 10x magnification under a bright light sourceSignature and marks located on the outside hoopEagle's head for French 18K goldNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 14.2g
