Helen Cody
Through the eyes of...
88888888888888888888888888888888
Helen Cody’s experience in the world of fashion spans almost
three decades.
Having graduated in fashion and textiles from the National
College of Art and Design in Dublin, Helen moved to Paris
to work for FrenchVogue and Azzedine Alaia, where she de-
veloped her skills as a leading stylist for fashion magazines,
music videos, television commercials and celebrities.
Helen has worked in London, Paris and NewYork for many
of the world’s leading publications.
Returning to Ireland from London after five years in 2013,
Helen re-established her fashion label with the same atten-
tion to craft and detail she is renowned for. Using only the
finest Italian and French silk, organza, cashmere and lace, her
pieces are stunningly crafted, hand-made, unique or limit-
ed editions, often taking many months to complete. First
came an acclaimed bridal collection in Spring 2014, this was
followed by a season in Ireland’s leading department store,
BrownThomas, as part of the CREATE initiative.
In January 2015, Helen was selected for the Design & Crafts
Council of Ireland’s Critical Selection Portfolio Project - she
was the first fashion designer to be included with twenty two
of Ireland’s most talented and successful creator/makers.
In March 2015 Helen was awarded the title Irish Fashion De-
signer of theYear by Image magazine and KFW. In Septem-
ber 2015 Helen was invited by the Irish consulate to travel
to Shanghai to talk about her work at the ‘Successful Design
Awards’ conference. In June 2016, she was commissioned by
the Central Bank of Ireland to create three large rugs for the
boardrooms and reception area of their new Liffey quayside headquarters, taking seven months to complete this, her biggest single
public commission to date. Helen was awarded Irish Designer of theYear by IrishTatler in October 2016 and the following year she
won Silver atThe London Design Awards. She has dressed many Irish and International celebrities for the red carpet at the Oscars,
Cannes Film Festival,theTonyAwards and numerous Irish and International premieres.
Helen’s pieces have been exhibited at the Royal College of Art, London; The Centre Culturel, Paris; The Solomon Gallery, Dublin
and in Dublin Castle as part of the DCCoI Portfolio series.

Lot 34 & 120: These two pieces completely took my breath away, I was tempted to run to my
studio with them, place them on my mannequins and then design dresses worthy of them, they
are so intricately made, they need only the simplest of pieces, in black bias cut velvet. Imagine
if they could talk the stories they would tell of grand entrances in ballrooms and lavish private
dinners across France and Europe !
Lot 35: I think this little bee needs to be sitting proud on the grosgrain ribbon of a trilby, how
lovely to mix the masculine and the feminine together.
Lot 40: The colour and femininity of this delicate 19th century necklace, and it’s beautifully
crafted details, made me smile, the thought of this adorning a black silk v-neck blouse, is sure to
be a conversation piece.
Lot 43: Pearls are so eternally classical, and this ring seems utterly timeless, a piece that can be
worn every day and handed down through generations.
Lot 54: This piece really caught my eye as I have a love affair with cocktail rings and although
this is a brooch, I think it could be turned into the most striking ring, one I would be delighted to
wear with one of my evening dresses.
Lot 129: I adored the clarity and colour of the stone, but was most impressed with how the
diamonds appeared to float on their settings. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning with this
as a precious gift.
Lot 230: Oh to be able to add this as a closure to one of my dresses, a discreet but sparkling
detail at the nape of the neck, hair up, a lovely surprise at the back of a dress!

In the sixteenth and well into the seventeenth century, Europeans sourced their gold and precious stones primarily from
the Orient, with Goa being the central hub through which these transactions traded. Much of this trade was then imported
through Lisbon in Portugal, where many French, German, Italian and Spanish jewellers based their workshops as a result.
Originally the preserve of the religious classes, exotic materials were used to create devotional material such as pendant
crosses and rosaries. However, this trend began to change towards the end of the 16th century as techniques in gemstone
cutting developed and jewellers discovered the dazzling possibilities of the cut and polished stones. Gemstones took on
a new importance and prominence, with gold and precious metals being relegated to the role of providing settings and
surrounds.
By the seventeenth century, the art of the faceted stone had been thoroughly embraced and perfected. Perhaps unsurpris-
ingly, the role of jewellery changed dramatically as a result.A once figurative symbol of religion became the decorative
display of the rich and powerful, in turn unleashing all artistic inhibitions and allowing the art of design to truly begin to
flourish.At the same time and as fashions continued to develop, jewellery became a far more feminine accessory. Highly
influenced by the popular fascination with naturalism which became steadily more popular throughout the Georgian era,
abstract and elaborate floral motifs adorned almost everything.
Also exceptionally popular at this time was the bow brooch, just like the lot on offer in this sale. Inspired by the silk and
velvet bows used to suspend pendants and crosses from the neck and bodice, the bow brooch, usually woven in an intricate
filigree of gold and silver and highlighted with precious stones, emphasised the décolletage. It was usually paired with
girandole earrings with three to five almond shaped drops, again similar to those illustrated in lot 21.
Aided by the discovery of large deposits of gold in Brazil at the start of the eighteenth century and the subsequent discov-
ery of vast diamond mines there, production of exquisite jewels continued in abundance across Europe well into the late
19th century, with advances in techniques and fashions continuing to boost the trend.

Throughout her long reign, QueenVictoria was regarded not only as a monarch but as an icon, her changing tastes in
fashion and jewellery being widely emulated by her people.As a result, today we can quickly recognise the major movement known
widely as “Victorian Jewellery”.
On the occasion of her engagement to PrinceAlbert, he presented her with a double snake ring which he had personally designed
for her.The ring was set with an emerald, the birthstone of the Queen, and another popular trend at the time.
The snake had long been regarded as a symbol of eternity as far back as Ancient Greek and Roman times, but these two snakes
wrapping around the finger became recognised as a symbol of eternal love. Before long, serpents were adorning not only rings but
also necklaces, bracelets and bangles as exemplified by these lots.

The nameTiffany & Co. – and the little blue box with which we all associate
it – is synonymous with luxury and sparkling quality. Many of us however, are not as familiar
withTiffany’s contribution to the decorative arts.
Louis ComfortTiffany was the son ofTiffany founder, Charles LouisTiffany.A well-known
artist in his own right, the young Louis joined the company in 1902 and was responsible for
establishing the “TiffanyArt Jewellery” department. Here, he directed the production of high-
ly imaginative and innovativeArt Nouveau pieces, mainly in enamel and exemplified by the
brooch included in this sale.
After his father’s death, Louis ComfortTiffany became the firm’s firstArtistic Director.A
patron of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, as well as a founder of the NewYork Society
of FineArts, his contributions to the field were later rewarded with his appointment as a
chevalier of the Legion of Honour.TodayArt Nouveau pieces byTiffany are highly collectible
and can be seen in the collections of many museums internationally, including at the Met in
NewYork.

Vacheron Constantin, the oldest watch manufacturer in the world, was established in Geneva in 1755 by Jean-Marc
Constantin, master watchmaker. Known today as the producer of the "Kallista", one of the world's most expensive wristwatches,
the company has a legacy unmatched by any other watchmaker.
At the end of the 18th century, c.1790,Vacheron gave us the first complication - any feature in a mechanical watch beyond the
simple display of hours and minutes, for example day or date display. Less than a decade later, they produced the first en-
gine-turned dials.
Throughout a rich and sometimes turbulent history, the firm was passed through generations of theVacheron family. In 1819, the
founder's grandson Jacques BarthélémyVacheron - worn out from the constant travel necessitated by what had become a mer-
chant business - made the decision to partner with François Constantin, a fellow merchant watchmaker.
A dynamic partnership resulted in an even more dynamic product.Vacheron & Constantin extended into new markets taking
NorthAmerica by storm. Under the direction of inventor, Georges-Auguste Leschot,Vacheron & Constantin were responsible
for the standardisation of movements into calibers and won many medals and awards. In 1885, the company created the first
non-magnetic timepiece, the construction of which may have inspired the design of the company's logo, a Maltese cross which is
still in use today.
Although the company ceased to be family owned in 1987, today it maintains its international reputation and continues to push
the boundaries of invention.With stores across the world and impressive headquarters in Geneva,Vacheron Constantin boasts an
enviable array of clientele over the course of its history, from Napoleon Bonaparte to Pope Pius XI,American Presidents Eisen-
hower andTruman, and the iconic Queen of Hearts, Princess Diana. More recent fans of the brand include actress Kate Bosworth
and another American president, Bill Clinton.

The house of Mauboussinbegan its days in a humble workshop in the Rue Greneta area in central Paris.
Initially established by a Mr Rocher, the firm was taken over by his partner Jean Baptiste Noury in 1869. Having survived the first
years of business through a period of tough economic and political instability, Noury began to exhibit the firm’s crafts at inter-
national exhibitions and fairs which were popular throughout France and across Europe during the late 19th century.This move
proved to be crucial in terms of building recognition for the brand, particularly when in 1878 he was awarded a bronze medal at
the‘Exposition Universelle’ in Paris.
Around this time, Noury’s young nephew Georges Mauboussin was quietly working in the background as an apprentice at the firm.
Mauboussin moved quickly through the ranks, taking over the management of the workshops in 1883 and taking sole control of the
company by 1898.This innovative young man was keenly aware of the need to adhere to the social norms important to his audience
and his tireless efforts to align the brand with the social spirit of the time became the key to creating the house that we now know.
In 1923, he moved the firm to Rue de Choiseul, taking his place near to the opera district and holding his own against competitors
such as Cartier and Boucheron.At this point, in spite of the brewing excitement of the RoaringTwenties, Mauboussin’s clients
remained fiercely private so Mauboussin located his new showrooms on the first floor, away from the prying eyes of the public.
When it came to what they wore however, these same clients had a taste for the exotic and for the brilliance of the Parisian Art
Deco style. Mauboussin again delivered, his skilled workshops constantly sourcing and manipulating the most innovative materials
in bold colours - from jade and shellac from the Far East to mother-of-pearl, pearls, coral and lapis lazuli from the Middle East and
carved coloured stones from India - to create magnificent stylised forms such as the famedTutti Frutti brooches and geometric
monochrome sautoirs for which the house is still known and recognised.
Throughout this time, Mauboussin exhibited widely, showcasing pieces from Milan to Buenos Aires, constantly winning awards for
his designs and his tireless work in contributing to the decorative arts, and all the while building the name of his brand. In fact these
exhibitions were so successful in terms of marketing and promotion, that Mauboussin held three exhibitions of his own during the
late twenties, showcasing the range and quality of gems and precious stones available at his Paris store.These exhibitions drew wide
attention including that of the Prince ofWales and the Maharajas of Kapurthala and Indore. Indeed it would be the business of these
clients that would help to support the firm through the economic struggles which would follow with the SecondWorldWar.
Prior to this however, in 1928, Georges’ son, Pierre, opened new stores in NewYork, London and BuenosAires.These led to a very
prosperous collaboration in 1936 with the NewYork jewellerTrabert & Hoeffer, which, under the nameTrabert & Hoeffer-Mau-
boussin Inc., set up a flagship store at 407 Park Avenue and later opened branches across the US. It was around this time that the
famous “Reflections” line of the 1930s was launched and it immediately enthralled Hollywood’s golden girls including Marlene
Dietrich, Paulette Godard and Audrey Hepburn. High-end magazines such asVogue, Harper’s Bazaar and L’Officiel also regularly
featured pieces created by Mauboussin as accessories to gowns by designers such as Lucien Lelong. Captured by famous photogra-
phers such as Horst and George Hoyningen-Huene, these served to further enhance the glittering image being broadcast across the
world of La Maison Mauboussin.
Following the period of the SecondWorldWar, there was a distinct change in taste and a move away from theArt Deco style. Mau-
boussin was quick to adapt to the new appetite for chunkier, less restrained pieces inspired by a fresh post-war optimism. By the
1950s, luxury was making a comeback with the prolific use of diamonds and precious stones adorning pieces in the form of coils
and scrolls.The piece being offered in this sale is a classic example of this bold and fantastical style. It is set in a typical fine platinum
setting (Paris as the international capital for expertise in jewellery, had been producing platinum settings since the late 19th cen-
tury) and the lightness of this setting affords and supports the boldness of the design and the number of diamonds without causing
discomfort to the wearer. Once again it is a piece which embodies the spirit of its time.
Throughout the 1940s and 50s, as the economic landscape continued to improve, Mauboussin’s client base began to expand as
disposable income rose amongst the middle class. Suddenly there was no longer a need for secrecy or privacy when shopping and
the windows of Mauboussin’s new store at 20 PlaceVendôme were opened up in 1946. By 1955, in a bid to embrace the democra-
tization of fine jewellery and echoing the move of their neighboursVan Cleef & Arpels, the firm opened a new‘boutique’ offering
pieces produced on a larger scale and at a more affordable price.This new clientele however still understood the value of the brand
and its heritage and was highly selective when it came to quality. It marked the beginning of a new era in jewellery marketing and
production.
Today, La Maison Mauboussin remains an independent house - a remarkable achievement in an era when almost all family-owned
jewellers have been taken over by multinational conglomerates. Owned since 2002 by Dominique Fremont, it has stores in Paris,
Japan, Singapore and NewYork and as a brand, it still remains firmly attuned to the needs and spirit of the time.

and the Rue Monsigny was home to the brand, and contained the salerooms, the designer’s studio and the workshops.

Andrew Grima
Born in Rome and raised in London,Andrew Grima was a popular figure at the glittering parties and events of 1960s London, his
glamorous shop in Jermyn street almost as alluring as the man within.The self-taught designer is widely accredited with having rev-
olutionised jewellery design of the 20th century. Set apart from his contemporaries by his lack of artistic or other formal training,
he is said to have considered this a great advantage as it made him a “pure designer”, limited only by the bounds of his imagination.
His flamboyant and outlandish designs allowed the precious stones with which he was working to shine in their raw and brilliant
state, unconfined by typical cuts and traditional technical methods of production.
A close friend of Princess Margaret and her then husband, Lord Snowden, Grima produced a brooch of lichen cast in gold for the
Princess.This caught the eye of Prince Phillip who subsequently purchased a ruby and gold flower brooch for the Queen, one which
she still wears regularly today. Both of these pieces are similar in concept and design to the leaf brooch on offer in this sale.
Other well-known clients of the day included Barbara Hepworth and Jacqueline Onassis while pieces were also regularly modelled
by the likes of Ursula Andress, as well as Jean Shrimpton on the cover ofVogue in 1965. Present day fans include fashion designers
Miuccia Prada and Marc Jacobs.
Grima’s contribution to the art of jewellery design has been highly commended internationally. He is the only jeweller to have been
awarded the Duke of Edinburgh Prize for Elegant Design and his service to the industry was recognised withThe Queen’sAward
for Export. He also won the De Beers Diamonds International Award a record of thirteen times.
TodayAndrew is survived by his wife Jojo and daughter Francesca who continue to run the business, producing a small collection
of 20 to 30 pieces a year, as well as some bespoke commissions. Each piece is created by the same goldsmiths who have worked for
Grima for over forty years and so the spirit and imagination of the great designer is kept alive and imbued in each piece.

archives. Image courtesy of Jojo Grima.

fled their home country of Poland, before arriving and settling in East London.
Similar to the French house Mauboussin, Kutchinsky embraced the spirit of the
post-war era producing lavish pieces heavily adorned with diamonds and brightly
coloured gems.The brand is particularly discernible for its slightly wacky
ornithological figures, usually styled in 18 carat gold, and exemplified by this
delightful lot.

AN 18K GOLD ‘ERMETO’ TRAVEL CLOCK, BY MOVADO

4.6cm,width (open):6.5cm
€ 1,800 - 2,200
Swiss watchmaker Achille Ditesheim established Movado in 1881
in La Chaux-de-Fonds in the Jura mountains.As a maker, he specialised in travel
watches and chose the name‘Movado’ for its meaning “always in motion”.
Similarly, when designing the cased‘Ermeto’ line, he chose the name for its
meaning -‘Ermeto’ translates from Greek as‘sealed’.This seal or case when
opened and closed would at the same time wind the mechanism on all models
produced from 1927 on.
The style was later developed, including variations in decoration and purpose.
This model is fitted with a stand - an ideal travel companion to prop on your
nightstand when flying long-distance!

Trembling Jewels
In the early nineteenth century, botany was becoming hugely fashionable as a field of study with new species from all over the world be-
ing brought back to England by explorers and military travellers. Regarded as an acceptable hobby for young ladies, general knowledge
of horticulture was widespread among the upper classes. Pupils of the subject were artistically trained and were expected to reproduce
studies of flora to a high standard.This knowledge also poured across into literature and poetry of the period,WilliamWordsworth’s
“Host of Golden Daffodils” being one of the most well-known references to the subject.
It stands to reason that the jewellers and smiths of the period could not help but be influenced and inspired by this national obsession
with the natural world.At a moment when techniques in gem cutting and mounting had been honed to such a fine art in a comparative-
ly short space of time, there could be no better occasion to create an object of such beauty that it rivalled the living thing. (Fresh flowers
were also favoured as an accessory or “corsage” in the costume of the period.)
Catalogues suggest that floral bouquets were first used as patterns in English jewellery design as early as the mid-1770s. By the 1830s
and 40s, they had become sparkling works of art. However, the English may not necessarily have been the first to be inspired by the
natural world. Giardinetti (little garden) brooches and rings had been made in Italy almost a century earlier.Without doubt, those ear-
lier examples could not compare to the sheer prowess of engineering ingenuity seen in these large bouquets “en tremblant” of the early
nineteenth century.
The origins of the “en tremblant” mechanism is generally attributed to the ateliers of Paris. In this competitive era of Great Exhibitions,
many jewellers would have travelled back and forth between London and Paris (amongst other cities), both exhibiting their wares and
studying and being influenced by the trends of their foreign counterparts. It is certainly clear that there was a blurring of influences in
foliate designs and techniques.“En tremblant” literally means “trembling”.The feature, as can be seen with each of these exquisite lots,
was used to highlight individual elements of the bouquet – a single flower head seeming to quiver and shake in the breeze.The meth-
od, though delicate, was simple. Each piece would be mounted or fixed via a series of wire or gold coiled springs leaving it in constant
gentle motion.The French took this a step further and added trembling butterflies and dragonflies alighting on leaves – another trend
quickly absorbed into English fashion. Generally designed for wear in the hair (on combs), below the décolletage or around the bust (on
brooches or corsage pins), the intention was to maximise the volume of light captured and deflected in glittering sparkles, the constant
fluttering eye catching to say the least.
Unsurprisingly, this style caught the eye of Empress Eugénie of France, wife of Napoleon III. In 1855 she commissioned a large diamond
flower corsage from Parisian jeweller,Théodore Fester.According to the official catalogue from the auction of French crown jewels in
1887,‘The flowers: anemone, rose, carnation etc, are modelled from nature.This ornament divides into seven different sprigs, each
complete in design, and the complicated flowers, by mechanical contrivances, separate for the purpose of effectual cleaning. It contains
nearly 6,000 diamonds, the largest of which weighs upwards of 10 carats’. (Gere, C. and Rudoe, J. 2010, Jewellery in theAge of Queen
Victoria,A Mirror to theWorld,The British Museum Press, London, p.171)
One hundred years later, in the 1950s and 60s, Italian jeweller Bulgari produced a series of magnificent hairclips and brooches inspired
by the “en tremblant” designs of the nineteenth century. Hollywood icons were enthralled by the dazzling line and patrons included
Ingrid Bergman, Princess Soraya of Iran and ElizabethTaylor, whose then-husband Eddie Fisher gifted her one such brooch on the occa-
sion of her 30th birthday.The brooch was sold at Christies NewYork in 2011 for USD 1,142,500 (c. € 985,000).

Alphonse Fouquet (1828 – 1911), father of the better-known Georges
Fouquet, was a French jeweller who began his career serving as an apprentice in Paris
at the age of eleven.Alphonse was an obvious natural talent and in spite of years of
abuse under his master, Henri Meusnier, he eventually forged a name for himself and in
1860 opened his own atelier. Here he specialised in the creation of Renaissance revival
jewellery featuring sphinxes, nymphs and other mythological creatures. However, it is
clear thatAlphonse was also known to produce the fashionable “en tremblant” corsage
ornaments whose popularity had continued to soar throughout the nineteenth century.
A similar brooch to this lot was sold at Sotheby’s NewYork earlier this year. From the
personal collection of jeweller to the stars Fred Leighton, it sold for USD 12,500 (c. €
10,775).

Victor Mayer (1887-1946) was born in Germany to a family of entrepreneurs and founded
his jewellery manufacture in 1890, on the cusp of the Belle Époque. Showing promise as a talented
draftsman, he first trained as a steel engraver before enrolling at the Grand Ducal School ofArts and
Crafts inVienna. He spent three years there, learning and developing the guilloché engraving and fire
enamelling techniques that are still being used to this day.These traditional techniques, which require
excellent craftsmanship and precision, have been preserved by the company for over 125 years, mak-
ingVictor Mayer the only jewellery manufacturer in Europe to produce guilloché engraving and fire
enamel to such a superior standard.

mountains (also the home of Ermeto, lot 88), G&F Châtelain SA was established here
in 1947 by brothers George and Francis Châtelain.Trained by their mother in a small
workshop polishing and repairing gold parts, as the economy returned to life in the
aftermath ofWorldWar II, the brothers set up their own workshop, initially only pol-
ishing clasps for leather bracelets. Before long they began to expand their business and
expertise as jewellers and watchmakers.Today the company remains an independent
house and is well known for its dynamic watches with complex movements and also
for its jewellery lines.
