A lipstick holder by William Ruser, circa 1950, the polished holder with modelled cherub to one side, winged and with blue gem-set eyes and textured hair, the end with engraved initials ‘JGS’ for Jean Granger Simmons, signed ‘Ruser’ and ‘14K’, length 5cm. £2,000-£3,000 --- The American jeweller William Ruser (1908 - 1994) became famous for his whimsical and sculptural designs during Hollywood’s Golden Age in the mid 20th century. Having trained with Trabert & Hoeffer – Mauboussin, Ruser set up his own firm in Beverly Hills in 1947 and soon established a loyal clientele including stars such as Joan Crawford and Marlene Dietrich. Ruser produced jewels for stars both on and off the screen and is credited in a number of movies for his designs. Ruser enjoyed huge success during his career and employed up to forty staff during the 1950s. He retired in 1969 and sold his shop to Van Cleef & Arpels. Jean Merilyn Simmons (1929 – 2010) was a British actress and singer. Her career started in London during World War II and became a household name in Britain following her role as Estrella in David Lean’s 1946 production of Great Expectations. In 1948, at the age of nineteen, she was nominated for her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet in which she played Ophelia. The film was a huge international hit and propelled Simmons in to Hollywood stardom. Having married the British actor Stewart Granger in Arizona in 1950, Simmons relocated permanently to Hollywood, later becoming a full time US citizen. In 1955 she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her role as Sister Sarah Brown in Guys and Dolls, starring alongside Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine. Simmons continued to work in film throughout the 1950s and 60s and was nominated for her second Academy Award, this time for Best Actress, in the 1966 film The Happy Ending. The film was directed by her second husband, Richard Brooks, whom she married in 1960. Simmons had one daughter from her marriage to Stewart Granger and went on to have a second daughter with Brooks in 1961. Later in her career Simmons focused her attentions to television and stage productions and in 2003 was awarded an OBE for her services to acting. Simmons passed away at her home in Santa Monica in 2010. This lipstick holder, and the matching scent bottle, can be seen in photographs of Jean Simmons at a dinner in Los Angeles in 1954 and again in 1955 at the premiere of Guys and Dolls. Simmons was known for her style and sense of fashion and on both occasions accessorised her outfits with clear acrylic handbags.

The company was run by four generations of Péry's, from Lucien’s son Albert to his grandson Bernard who was the father of the great Brigitte Péry who went on to manage the business for four decades.Albert's work at during the first half of the 20th century was prolific, producing new designs almost every week. However, when the WWII broke out, Albert was taken prisoner and the workshop was closed for six years. Once the conflict ended, the production started again slowly, increasing in the 1950s, during which time Péry created some of Van Cleef & Arpels’s most iconic pieces, including the Domino jewellery sets and Ludo bracelets.Bernard Péry began to make connections with other jewellery houses and started collaborations, first with Paolo Bulgari, which lasted for two decades, followed by Cartier, Boucheron, Mauboussin, Templier and Tiffany. Indeed, it seems there is no major jewellery house of the 20th century the Péry workshops did not produce for.Bernard’s daughter Brigitte was of similar business acumen and when she took over, she continued to pursue this strategy. Amongst her collaborators were Graff, Dior, Fabergé and Mikimoto. In 2008 she launched a large-scale training program for the workshops in order to promote innovation and modernise the production techniques of the company. Adopting new design processes ensured versatility and allowed Maison Péry to compete on an international stage. In 2011, she finally decided to sell her family's company to the then President of the Richemont Group, Stanislas de Quercize, thus officially combing Maison Péry into the fold of Van Cleef & Arpels.‘Jewellery always makes you dream,’ Brigitte explained in an interview with Olivier Bachet for IAJA, ‘To dream of those who wear them, what a pleasure and what a chance to be able to do so. And to dream of those who always make them with real passion.’Condition Report: Diamonds: approx. 1.50cts total, unable to assess colour due to yellow mount, estimated clarity: a majority of VS and a couple of SINumbered: (Difficult to identify the number): possibly: 0 (or 9) 18185 and signature Cartier Paris, located on the reverse of the galleryFrench assay marks: dog's head for French platinum and eagle's head for French 18K gold, both located on the outside of the hoopMaker's mark for Pery & Fils located on the outside of the hoopNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 18.5g

During this period Mauboussin moved away from the 'cold stiffness' and 'dry formulae of the Cubists' towards curves and colour. For similar examples, see De Cerval, Marguerite, 'Mauboussin', Paris, 1992, chapter 'The 1920s A Burst of Colour', and Garbardi, Melissa, 'Art Deco Jewellery 1920-49', Antique Collectors Club, 1989, pp 98, 100-101, 106, 111.

A FINE GEM-SET AND DIAMOND BRACELET, BY FRED PARIS, CIRCA 1970 - 1980 Of articulated design, composed of four large openwork bombé links set with alternating sapphire, ruby and emerald cabochons highlighted with brilliant-cut diamonds throughout with textured gold detail, mounted in 18K gold, diamonds approximately 10.00cts, signed Fred Paris, with maker's mark 'AV' for André Vassort, French assay marks, with maker's case, length 17cm Fred Samuel (1908-2006) established his jewellery brand in 1936 in Paris, where he spent much of his professional life. Originally from Buenos Aires, born into a family that dealt in precious stones, it was no surprise he conceived a passion for cultured pearls and won recognition as a leading expert in the field. Fred imbued his designs with the energy of South America, saying his creations were inspired by the life, the light, the movement, the energy of the continent. This passion is expressed through the use of coloured gemstones and playful motifs. During World War II, Fred Samuel fled Paris and became an interpreter for the Allies. After the war, the brand changed its name to from Fred Samuel to 'Fred' due to anti-Jewish sentiment in post-war Germany. Describing himself in 1936 as a 'Contemporary Creative Jeweller', he proved this through his striking modern designs, with rounded, curvaceous lines. Fred became famous for jewels designed by Jean Cocteau and for its famous clients, such as Marlène Dietrich and the royal family of Monaco, including princess Grace. In 1966 Fred Paris was the inventor of cable jewellery 'Force 10' (made of stainless steel) and this feature is still very prominent today in ring, bracelet, pendant and necklace designs. As the brand grew, new stores were opened across the world; 1976 Monte Carlo, 1981 Cannes, 2001 Tokyo and 2007 Beijing, Dubai and Bogotá. The company became the property of LVMH in 1996 and Fred collaborated with Kate Moss for the design of an exclusive collection in 2012. Fred Paris designed the iconic 23 heart-shaped ruby necklace interlaced with diamonds, which was gifted to Julia Roberts by Richard Gere in the film Pretty Woman. The last major film for which Fred Paris provided jewellery was Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig, featuring the star collection pendant and earrings. This magnificent bracelet is a unique creation of Fred. n 1995 FRED joined the Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton LVMH group. In the secluded streets of Paris, shadowed by the celebrity of the great jewellery maisons of France, work the craftsmen whose talents satisfy the constant appetite for glamour. In December 1955, at 34 rue Sainte Anne, André Vassort registered his atelier and soon became one of the most sought-after jewellers in France. He was quickly employed by names such as Boucheron, Van Cleef and Arpels, Mauboussin and FRED. His work adorned their most discerning clients and he became a favourite in carrying out special commissions. Of particular note was the crown that he created under Van Cleef and Arpels for Empress Farah of Iran. Taking six months to complete, the magnificent piece is iridescent with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and pearls, mounted in white gold and set against a backdrop of forest-green velvet. Vassort specialised in working with gold, drawn to the warmth and texture that could be coaxed from the metal, however, he did not shy away from other materials. His understanding of gemstones allowed him to create bold and colourful pieces, exemplified in this lot. Working anonymously for larger houses, a large portion of Vassort's work is unsigned, but, here, we are gifted with his maker's mark 'AV'. When André Vassort closed his workshop in the early 1990s, his name and work were revered within the jewellery industry and his pieces had become synonymous with enduring quality.

A FINE GEM-SET AND DIAMOND PENDANT/BROOCH, BY FRED PARIS, CIRCA 1975 -1980 Designed as a stylised present bow, centring a ruby cabochon within a surround of brilliant-cut diamonds, the ribbons of openwork decorated with alternating sapphire, emerald and ruby cabochons with brilliant-cut diamond highlights throughout, mounted in 18K gold, diamonds approximately 6.00cts total, signed Fred Paris, with maker's marks for André Vassort (partially rubbed), French assay marks, with brooch and pendant fitting, length 6.4cm Fred Samuel (1908-2006) established his jewellery brand in 1936 in Paris, where he spent much of his professional life. Originally from Buenos Aires, born into a family that dealt in precious stones, it was no surprise he conceived a passion for cultured pearls and won recognition as a leading expert in the field. Fred imbued his designs with the energy of South America, saying his creations were inspired by the life, the light, the movement, the energy of the continent. This passion is expressed through the use of coloured gemstones and playful motifs. During World War II, Fred Samuel fled Paris and became an interpreter for the Allies. After the war, the brand changed its name to from Fred Samuel to 'Fred' due to anti-Jewish sentiment in post-war Germany. Describing himself in 1936 as a 'Contemporary Creative Jeweller', he proved this through his striking modern designs, with rounded, curvaceous lines. Fred became famous for jewels designed by Jean Cocteau and for its famous clients, such as Marlène Dietrich and the royal family of Monaco, including princess Grace. In 1966 Fred Paris was the inventor of cable jewellery 'Force 10' (made of stainless steel) and this feature is still very prominent today in ring, bracelet, pendant and necklace designs. As the brand grew, new stores were opened across the world; 1976 Monte Carlo, 1981 Cannes, 2001 Tokyo and 2007 Beijing, Dubai and Bogotá. The company became the property of LVMH in 1996 and Fred collaborated with Kate Moss for the design of an exclusive collection in 2012. Fred Paris designed the iconic 23 heart-shaped ruby necklace interlaced with diamonds, which was gifted to Julia Roberts by Richard Gere in the film Pretty Woman. The last major film for which Fred Paris provided jewellery was Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig, featuring the star collection pendant and earrings. This magnificent bracelet is a unique creation of Fred. n 1995 FRED joined the Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton LVMH group. In the secluded streets of Paris, shadowed by the celebrity of the great jewellery maisons of France, work the craftsmen whose talents feed the ever-hungry mouths of glamour. In December 1955, at 34 rue Sainte Anne, André Vassort registered his atelier and soon became one of the most sought-after jewellers in France. He was quickly employed by names such as Boucheron, Van Cleef and Arpels, Mauboussin and FRED. His work adorned their most discerning clients and he became a favourite in carrying out special commissions. Of particular note was the crown that he created under Van Cleef and Arpels for Empress Farah of Iran. Taking six months to complete, the magnificent piece is iridescent with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and pearls, mounted in white gold and set against a backdrop of forest-green velvet. Vassort specialised in working with gold, drawn to the warmth and texture that could be coaxed from the metal, however, he did not shy away from other materials. His understanding of gemstones allowed him to create bold and colourful pieces, such as the current lot. Working anonymously for larger houses, a large portion of Vassort's work is unsigned, but, here, we are gifted with his maker's mark 'AV'. When André Vassort closed his workshop in the early 1990s, his name and work were revered within the jewellery industry and his pieces had become synonymous with enduring quality.

Lot 60

A GEM-SET 'EPOUVANTAIL' PENDANT/BROOCH, BY VAN CLEEF & ARPELS, CIRCA 1965 Modelled as a scarecrow draped with textured gold clothing and hat, accented by a brilliant-cut diamond buttons, with sapphire and ruby cabochon highlights and green chalcedony head, mounted in 18K gold, signed Van Cleef & Arpels, numbered, maker's mark for 'Péry & Fils', French assay marks, length (excluding bale): 5.6cm Jackie Kennedy Onassis purchased a scarecrow brooch of same design by Van Cleef & Arpels, which she was seen wearing on several occasions. In 1996, Sotheby's New York held 'The Estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' auction where the brooch was included (lot 384) and sold for $101,500. The Van Cleef & Arpels collection alone formed a large collection of the sale. Maison Péry Maison Péry was established in 1875 by Lucien Péry, whose elegant gold chains attracted the attention of the jewellers housed in the place Vendome. The company was run by four generations of Pery's, from Lucien's son Albert, to his grandson Bernard who was the father of the great Brigitte Pery who went on to manage the business for four decades. Albert's encounter with Monsieur Salière in the early 1900s proved to be seminal for Maison Pery's development. Monsieur Salière was working as a salesman in a department store, La Belle Jardinière, and amongst his clients were the Arpels Brothers. He introduced Albert to the brothers and this led to a lifelong collaboration between the two. The first piece of jewellery produced by this new partnership, in 1925 was a flat knitted bracelet. This family connection extended further with Albert beginning to work with Renee Puissant, daughter of the founder Alfred Van Cleef and Esther Arpels. Albert's work at this time was prolific, producing new designs almost every week. However, when the Second World War broke out, Albert was taken prisoner and the workshop was closed for six years. Once the conflict ended, the production started again slowly, increasing in the 1950s with examples of highly important commissions such as the official sword given to Marshall June as a gift on his membership to the French Academy in 1953. The continued support of Van Cleef & Arpels, particularly after the War, was integral to the success of Maison Péry. Each generation of the VCA has strengthened the links between the companies. With Pierre Arpels, the creation of smaller and more affordable pieces of jewellery allowed Maison Pery to move into the emerging market of serial manufacturing. With the opening of the first VCA shop 'La Boutique' in 1954, Pierre understood the importance of making the brand more accessible to the general public and a younger clientele. In the 20th century, the connection between the master jeweller and the designer was of the up-most importance, with the creation of signature pieces made to the highest quality by incredibly skilled individuals. The Péry workshops were behind some of the most iconic 'bestsellers' such as the Domino jewellery sets; the flexible curved ribbons of the 'couscous passementri' and most notably the Ludo bracelet. Maison Péry also worked exclusively on VCA's couture collections, using highly complex techniques to realise the elaborate designs. Amongst the most notable are the production of string chains and pompoms, and the infamous zipper, which has gone on to become a classic of the house. The third generation to take over the management of the company, Bernard Péry was alert to the potential risks of being too heavily reliant on a single client. He began to make connections with other jewellery houses and started collaborations, first with Paolo Bulgari, which lasted for two decades, followed by Boucheron, Mauboussin, Templier and Tiffany. His daughter Brigitte was of similar business acumen and when she took over, she continued to pursue this strategy. Amongst her collaborators were Graff, Dior, Fabergé and Mikimoto. The development of the company was of paramount importance for Brigitte, to ensure Maison Péry remained relevant in the 21st century. In 2008 she launched a large-scale training program for the workshops in order to promote innovation and modernise the production techniques of the company. Adopting new design processes ensured versatility and allowed Maison Péry to compete on an international stage. In 2011, she finally decided to sell her family's company to the then President of the Richemont Group, Stanislas de Quercize.
