DIAMOND AND SYNTHETIC RUBY BRACELET, CIRCA 1940Of tricoloured escalier-linking, accented by trios of step-cut synthetic rubies, issuing triangular panels, pavé and millegrain-set with old brilliant-cut diamonds, diamonds approximately 7.20 carats total, length 19.7cmFootnotes:The vogue for 'escalier' or 'moving staircase' bracelets coincided with the return of gold during the latter half of the 1930s, when more affordable metals were being substituted for platinum and Art Deco forms were becoming more sculptural and three dimensional. This bracelet's striking combination of old-cut diamonds, synthetic rubies and tricoloured gold was specifically chosen during a period of increasing austerity and uncertainty during WWII. The curved forms and smoothness of the articulating, openwork links reflect the mechanical advancements of this era, while contrasting starkly with the geometric shapes of the gem-set panels.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

It was renamed Etablissements Uti SA in 1940, and kept its Parisian head office, but the building on rue des Villas was sold that same year. Eugene Blum was arrested and interned at Pithiviers then deported to Aushwitz on 21 September 1942, where he was murdered.For a similar 'Oiseau libéré' jewel by Cartier, see 'The Cartier Collection Jewelry' (Flammarion: 2004), p. 259For a similar miniature birdcage jewel by Seaman Schepps, see 'American Jewelry: Glamour and Tradition' (Rizzoli: 1987), p.136For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Rudoe, 'Cartier 1900-1939', 1997, p.170, ill. plate 94. The presence of midnight blue enamel appears in Indian jewels and objets d'art from the second half of the nineteenth century and Cartier's record for this particular cigarette case suggests the plaque was of genuine Indian origin having come from an 'Indian box' that entered Cartier's stock on 21st August 1911. The enamel plaque on this powder compact may have similar origins since Cartier's archives record that the Hungarian expert, Imre Schwaiger, sourced the 'Indian box' and also negotiated other purchases for Cartier. For a circular powder and lipstick compact of similar design by Cartier, bearing maker's marks HL for Henri Lavabre, see Bonhams, Knightsbridge, 9th December 2020, lot 313.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

In Classical Antiquity, tiaras of laurel leaves, oak or other naturalistic foliage would also crown victors or be worn by women to demonstrate their prominent status in society.

RUBY AND DIAMOND BROOCHThe pierced foliate plaque of Eastern inspiration with chevron motifs, millegrain-set with old brilliant and single-cut diamonds, accented by a cushion-shaped ruby, weighing 2.02 carats, over a pavé-set single-cut diamond bar of rectangular openwork form, diamonds approximately 2.00 carats total, length 3.1cmFootnotes:Accompanied by a report from SSEF stating that the ruby is of Burmese origin with no indications of heat treatment, minor amounts of oil in fissures. Report number 125423 dated 1st November 2022.Historically, the ruby has been important for many cultures and was ascribed various values of power: protection, wealth, status, cures for illness and peace. The Sanskrit name, ratnaraj or 'King of Precious Stones' given to rubies very much embodies the value bestowed upon this gemstone.Over the past 800 years, the finest rubies unearthed have been found in the Mogok Stone Tract region of Burma, now Myanmar. This continues to be the case today despite rubies being mined in various other locations such as Africa, Thailand, Tanzania, Afghanistan and Madagascar. The continued mining in the Mogok Stone Tract region is resulting in a depletion of top-quality ruby deposits.Burmese rubies are prized for their vibrant fiery colour which is caused by high levels of chromium saturating the ground from which they are mined. It is this colour combined with their strong fluorescence which gives them a glowing, fiery radiance. Top quality Burmese rubies are the gold standard to which all other rubies are judged.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ΩΩ VAT on imported items at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price and Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Sir Thomas Ingliby (c. 1290–1352) married the heiress, Edeline Thwenge in 1308/9 and acquired the Ripley Castle estate with its medieval manor house as her dowry. While hunting, their eldest son, Thomas (1310–1369), saved Edward III from being attacked by a wild boar and was duly knighted with the boar's head incorporated into the Ingilby family crest (see lots 209 and 213). Subsequent generations of the Ingilby family have survived periods of political and religious turmoil and witnessed great societal change. Today, the Ingilby family still live at Ripley Castle and have been opening it to the public since 1954.The rose-cut diamond 'M' on the hinged cover of the bangle is for the Marjoribanks family of Lees near Coldstream in the Scottish borders. The Hon. Alicia Marjoribanks (d.1916) was the youngest child of David Robertson MP., 1st Baron Marjoribanks (1797-1873) and on 26th June 1862, she married Sir Henry Day Ingilby, 2nd Baronet (1826-1911) of Ripley Castle and Harrington Hall in Lincolnshire. Her father was the Lord Lieutenant of Berwickshire and his portrait can still be found at Ripley Castle. Alicia's great uncle, Edward Robertson (1776-1868), was appointed as a partner of Coutts Bank by Thomas Coutts in 1797 and a senior partner from 1836 until his death. Alicia and Henry had two children, Henry and Mary. Within the space of a mere fourteen months between October 1872 and December 1873, both children died tragically of meningitis, aged four and nine respectively. Shortly after this, Alicia's father was run over by a horse drawn bus outside his club in Newcastle just seven days after being ennobled as Lord Marjoribanks of Lees. His sons had predeceased him and his untimely passing saw the extinction of his title. He is buried at Ladykirk and his family mausoleum is nearby at Coldstream.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

GOLD AND GARNET-SET ARCHAEOLOGICAL REVIVAL BANGLE, CIRCA 1860Set with a series of garnet cabochons, issuing a fringe of garnet beads terminating with amphorae drops, between swags of cable-link chain and ropetwist borders, inner diameter 5.5cm Footnotes:From the Collection of the Ingilby Family of Ripley CastleLots 209 - 221 Located three miles from Harrogate on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Ripley Castle has been the seat of the Ingilby family since the 14th century. Sir Thomas Ingliby (c. 1290–1352) married the heiress, Edeline Thwenge in 1308/9 and acquired the Ripley Castle estate with its medieval manor house as her dowry.

Subsequent generations of the Ingilby family have survived periods of political and religious turmoil and witnessed great societal change. Today, the Ingilby family still live at Ripley Castle and have been opening it to the public since 1954.During the 1850s and 1860s, British jewellers began producing jewels in the Archaeological Revivalist style, in which the amphora motif is widely seen. Transported from the workshops of Castellani and Giuliano by the English-speaking communities of Florence and Rome, the resulting fashion for Archaeological Revival jewels in Britain was keenly adopted by notable jewellers, such as John Brogden and Robert Phillips, while the antique references appealed to the artistic and intellectual circles in which their clients moved (see Gere, C. and Rudoe, J., 'Jewellery in the Age of Queen Victoria', London, 2010, p.426). The use of garnet cabochons or 'carbuncles' issuing drops via swags of cable-link chain can be seen in a tassel brooch from circa 1850-60 with some Archaeological Rivivalist elements, which is held by the Museum of London (cf. p.117, ill.fig.72). Both jewels illustrate the mid-19th century taste in Britain for fine carbuncles with their rich and fiery, adamantine lustre.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Today, the Ingilby family still live at Ripley Castle and have been opening it to the public since 1954.The seal ring was used as long ago as 3500 BC and is believed to have originated in Mesopotamia. The ancient Greeks and Romans used seal rings widely and elevated them beyond their functionality to decorative and beautiful jewels.There are references to seal rings in the Bible and they continued to be used throughout Europe during the Middle Ages when heraldry became an important form of authority and identification. The growing merchant class of the Renaissance period led to new levels of embellishment and an increasing need to mark goods, sign letters and seal legal documents. Some of the most important documents in history have been stamped with the initials or crest of the wearer in wax from a seal ring. In its day, the seal of a ring was considered more authentic than a signature (see Scarisbrick, D., 'Rings: Jewelry of Power, Love and Loyalty', London, 2007, pp.9 and 28).The vast majority of seal rings dating from these periods were usually destroyed upon the owner's death to avoid any possibility of forged documents appearing, so it is rare for an armorial seal ring of this age to come to market directly from the family to whom the crest belongs.The practice of wearing a seal ring engraved with a heraldic crest became common in England during the 15th century. However, from the mid-16th century it became more common for a nobleman to wear his family's full coat of arms, as seen in these two seals, which are each engraved with a complete shield.For a similar seal ring, see Bonhams, London, 27th April 2022, lot 53.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
