LOT 2: The diamond trinity ring by Cartier, this is a beauty, I have the bracelet and would love this stunning classic to compliment it.
LOT 32:The tiny strand of natural pearls.These are a must ,as they are so simple yet so elegant, In a very cool but modern way.
LOT 56: The diamond and pearl earclips . I am an earring junky probably because I wear my hair up a lot. .These earrings sit on my ear so
beautifully .I love them.
LOT 64: My favourite piece of all,to die for.The retro 1940 gold and Aquamarine bracelet. It was truly unexpected to me to see the aqua-
marines set in such an unusual way.
	
LOT 75: The pair of coral diamond and gold rings byVan Cleef andArpels.They sit on your little finger , I so unexpectantly fell in love with
them .Art deco , so beautiful.
LOT 106: A pair of yellow beryl and diamond pendant earrings.These are so delicate and elegant, and with yellow being in fashion for the
past few seasons, I would have a lot of occasions to show these beauties off.
LOT 185:The emerald and diamond line bracelet. I just love anything green. I have always wanted a tennis bracelet and feel that this is such
a beautiful colour and also as it is a little more understated. I wear a lot of Black and know that the colour would add an amazing splash of
colour.
LOT 193:The Jadeite Jade ,ruby,onyx and diamond Pendant.Being lucky enough to spend a lot of time in Hong Kong andAsia,I have learned
to appreciate the beauty of Jade.This piece I feel would be magnificent with a plain white shirt.

say except exquisite.

Art Nouveau was the first truly international design movement of the twentieth century and owing to its close association with the
work of Louis ComfortTiffany became known as theTiffany Style inAmerica. It was popular between 1890-1910, during the period
known as the belle époque. Jewellery was one of the most important expansions of this movement and the industry underwent a stylistic
revolution.
Soft, sinuous lines and organic forms inspired by flora and fauna characterise the jewellery of this period.To decorate these natural motifs,
jewellers favoured the use of smaller gemstones rather than larger, more dramatic diamonds as seen in the previous centuries.The decora-
tive femininity and elegance of this period could be beautifully described through pastel enamels, miniature gemstones, and curved metal
lines, making jewellery the perfect medium to express the spirit of theArt Nouveau.
Louis ComfortTiffany took up the study of enamels and jewellery more than 20 years after he established his reputation in the decora-
tive arts. He was always eager to conquer new artistic terrain.As an artist who participated in major expositions of the day in Paris and
elsewhere,Tiffany was well acquainted with European, primarily French and Belgian,Art Nouveau jewellers of the age, including René
Lalique, HenriVerver and PhilipWolfers.
Louis Comfort joinedTiffany in 1902 and established the “TiffanyArt Jewellery” department.This new division was headed up by Julia
Munson and was responsible for the production of highly imaginative and innovativeArt Nouveau pieces.Tiffany’s design studios and work-
shops forged their international reputation and establishedAmerican metalworking and jewellery skills on a level with those of Europe.
Tiffany’s jewellery success was recognised at the International Exhibitions in Paris with multiple awards gifted to them circa 1900s.
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.
Collectors and jewellers worldwide seek out vintageTiffany estate jewellery, such as the 14ct gold mesh purse featuring sapphire cabo-
chons and seed pearls, because of the craftsmanship, beauty and how well it retains value.The gold mesh is beautifully interlinked.The
delicate floral detail etched in the frame of the purse is typical of theArt Nouveau style of this 1910 piece.

The house of Cartier was founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier.A family venture, soon saw the
growth of Cartier and the expansion to London and NewYork, with subsequent generations taking the
helm.
Cartier has established itself as one of the world’s preeminent crafters of high-end, modern, and
vintage jewellery. Its watches have adorned the wrists of celebrities and royalty alike, with
King EdwardVII of England once referring to Cartier as “the jeweller of kings and the king of
jewellers.”
Cartier’s extensive collections are known to embody revival,Art Deco, and more contempo-
rary styles, making them a sought-after commodity for generations both past and present.
JeanneToussaint was made Creative Director for jewellery in 1933 and she continued to work
for Cartier until her retirement in 1970. The working relationship between Louis Cartier and
Toussaint was very successful, with Cartier imparting his knowledge of gemstones, diamonds,
settings and technique, andToussaint bringing her joie de vivre, relentless creativity and eye for
contemporary fashions. By the time she retired from Cartier in 1970,Toussaint had established
her legacy as an artistic visionary; always experimenting, exploring and creating jewels for those
with a worldly outlook and an eye on the future.
Cartier is a notable creator of pieces depicting elaborate Blackamoor heads, which had been
introduced by theVenetian form of Nardi. Blackamoor jewellery, also known as
Moretti jewellery, was particularly popular during the 17th and 18th
centuries and it is believed that it was originally created as amulets to
ward off evil, or invasion by the Moors into Italy.
Cartier first released their Blackamoor brooches in the early
1930’s. Blackamoor brooches depict black figures within the
design, they are typically male with a head covering, usually a
turban and covered in rich jewels and gold leaf. Early examples
often have European racial features, apart from the colour.They are
typically enamelled, carved from ebony or painted black to contrast
with the bright colours of the embellishments. Depictions may only repre-
sent the head, or head and shoulders, facing the viewer in a symmetrical pose.
The brooch on sale atAdams is a lovely example of a typical Blackamoor brooch, made of
black enamel, detailing a white enamel turban and surrounded by precious gems, including
coral, seed pearls and diamond.The head faces the viewer in a symmetrical pose and sits on a
yellow gold reeded neck.

The Art Deco period is one of the most popular and lasting design periods in the history of jewellery,
spanning from the early 1920’s through to 1935.Art Deco jewellery can be identified by its geometric
form, filigree work and bold colours. Diamonds were extremely popular and were often teamed with
bright rubies, sapphires and emeralds, but one of the most defining signatures of this period is the use of
black onyx paired with white diamonds.

Mellerio dits Meller is the sole surviving French independent luxury jeweller, and the oldest jewellery house in the world, spanning
over four centuries and across fourteen generations.
Often cited as the jeweller to queens, the Maison is deeply rooted in French aristocracy, formally established in 1613 with aid of a decree granted
by Marie de Medici to Jean-Marie Mellerio.This decree elevated Mellerio dits Meller’s status in Paris, however it is the Maison’s historic focus on
design ingenuity and top-quality craftsmanship that has led to its longevity. From humble beginnings in theVigezzoValley of northern Italy, the
Mellerio family would fast attract a vast clientele of nobility, from MarieAntoinette, to Queen Isabella of Spain.
The story goes that in 1613, Jacques Pido, a junior chimney sweep at the Louvre, overheard a plan to assassinate a young King Louis XIII, son of
Marie de Medici. Passing this knowledge to Jean-Marie Mellerio, Mellerio immediately reported the plot to Marie de Medici who handsomely
awarded him with privileges to conduct trade freely throughout the kingdom. Such a decree, for‘services rendered to the Kingdom of France,’
set the Mellerio Maison on the path to notoriety which they would continually pave for generations to come.
In 1815, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Mellerio, Mellerio dits Meller became the first jewellery boutique to open on Rue de la Paix.Their
address has remained unchanged since this date, despite continued monumental cultural and social shifts, making the brand a true part of the
physical and cultural landscape of Paris. During Jean-Baptiste’s directorship, and under Louis-Phillipe’s reign, Mellerio dits Meller became the
official supplier of the Royal family.
Such royal patronage was similarly extended to Mellerio dits Meller elsewhere in Europe. In 1867 the Maison was appointed as the official sup-
plier of jewellery to the Italian King, and later, in 1888, gained the same title to the Court of Netherlands.
Beyond historic significance, the Maison has been lauded for its constant reinvention, remaining at the forefront of technological advancements in
jewellery design and experimenting with transformable designs. It is this duality which informs the way in which Mellerio dits Meller design is
appreciated, frequently showcased at renowned events such as the Universal Exhibition of Paris and the Great London Exposition.
One such example of this is the exploration of the intricacies of nature, paramount in Mellerio design since the nineteenth century. In 1854,
Mellerio dits Meller patented a flexible stem mechanism for their jewellery to more viscerally resemble the delicate details of flora and fauna.
The celebrated 1867 Mellerio peacock brooch highlights this, with acutely set minute diamonds onto the curvature of a spindly‘feathered’ tail
made of fine gold.This creation was exhibited alongside a rock garden tiara, later bequeathed by Queen Isabel II of Spain, at the Paris Universal
Exhibition.The tiara experiments in material, made with platinum, marking the first time in history that platinum was used in jewellery design.
Operated today by Laure-Isabella Mellerio, the fourteenth generation to run the family business, Mellerio dits Meller remains a force in in-
ternational jewellery design.The family name has become ingrained into the lasting cultural legacy of luxury Parisian design, which they have
ultimately helped to mould.

The term ‘retro’ in the context of jewellery defines an era of design which reacted to the unprecedented cultural changes as a
consequence of WorldWar II. From the austerity experienced during the war, to the economic boom and steadfast reconstruction of
new wealth following, no period in history has seen such societal shifts of this magnitude.Thus, each piece of retro jewellery is commu-
nicative of complex transitional era, possessing an incomparably distinct air of history that is inimitable today.
Adorning oneself in jewellery continued to be in fashion throughout the war, remaining as a valuable source of portable capital in a
time of uncertainty, though how this was achieved was changed. Rather than ceasing output, jewellery houses reinterpreted popularised
1930’s designs, renowned for their joie de vivre spirit of creativity.The continuing interest in this motto of‘live and forget the past’,
marked an effort to bring a sense of exaltation into an era marred by war through fashion, in spite of a scarcity of materials. Jewellery
design found influence in the avant-garde art deco forms of the 1930’s, while complementarily manipulating the functional aesthetics of
industrial design to create boldly geometric and sculptural pieces.
Retro bracelets, amongst the most popular jewels of the 1940’s, boldly reflect the unique nature of the era like none other.
Van Cleef & Arpel’s honeycomb bracelet of the preceding decade continued to maintain widespread appeal for their wide geometric
bands made up of repetitious hexagonal links with bold clasps. Such forms were reinterpreted in the 1940’s by venerable houses such as
Cartier. Cartier’s‘tank’ chains fast became a popular source of influence for bracelet linking, inspired by industry and a broader vision of
futurism.
The design of the retro gold bracelet presented byAdam’s responds clearly to these infamous precursors. From the wide width of the
band, made up of five alternating rows of bi-colour gold links, to the angular light reflective shape of each rectilinear link, it is a truly
dynamic 40’s retro piece.

The blackamoor is a decorative motif depicting exoticized figures ofAfrican men typically dressed
in turbans and adorned with rich jewels and gold leaf.The motif is aVenetian tradition, dating back
to the Early Modern period when it emerged as an artistic response to the European encounter with
the Moors, the dark-skinned Muslims from NorthAfrica and the Middle East who came to occupy
various parts of Europe.
In recent history the blackamoor has been a source of controversy, however, it is considered to be a
collectible within the art world. Notable collectors and wearers of blackamoor jewellery are the late
Vogue editor DianaVreeland and the former director of the Museum ofAfrican Diaspora in San Fran-
cisco, Denise BradleyTyson.“Every time I wear one,”Tyson says,“they always provoke a response and
provide me with an opportunity to educate about the history of the Moors.”

in its loyalty to their clientele,which has ensured the continued patronage from future generations.
During the 1960 and 1970s,it is said thatVourakis used the same workshop asVan Cleef andArpels amongst others,no doubt their designs
during this period were of very similar style.They are passionate for the absolute quality of both the materials and craftsmanship. Vourakis
pieces became synonymous for quality,authenticity and beauty and this holds true today.

Windsor, Barbara Hutton, Her Imperial Highness Princess Soraya and the Empress Farah Pahlavi for whomVCA made a stunning corona-
tion crown and necklace in 1967. One of the most famous brands to grace the red carpet,Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery dazzles at all the

1970s fashion saw the establishment of a new dichotomy between unique, one off creations and more informal stylish
designs, deviating from the traditional distinction between diamond evening wear and more wearable gold day wear.Van
Cleef &Arpels were the first to understand this new demand, experimenting with mixed textures, colour and abstracted
designs.
In these earrings and brooch presented byAdam’s, every aspect of the design is considered and individualised for the
client.Van Cleef & Arpel’s signature parure‘twist’ designs appear reinterpreted in the striking juxtaposition of pavé dia-
monds amidst textured gold.These materials dynamically twist alongside one another with grace, creating asymmetric and
voluminous forms that are both entirely unique yet emblematic of their decade.

€ 15,000 - 20,000
Accompanied by a report fromThe Gem & Solid Phase laboratory in France, stating that the emerald weighing
4.93cts is of Colombian origin, with minor oil enhancement. Report number 20190603-273, dated June 3rd 2019
Columbian emeralds are said to be the purest in the world, possessing a depth of colour which is unfound and
inimitable elsewhere.These have been extracted from Columbia for thousands of years, particularly in the region of
Muzo, an area that known as the‘Emerald Belt,’ made up of the Fura andTena mountain peaks.
The first to extract emeralds from Muzo were the native indigenous groups who interpreted their magnificent co-
lour to be symbolic of fertility, water, and strength.This tribe, known as the Muiscans, were amongst the four most
advanced civilisations of theAmericas during the period of conquest.They personified the Fura andTena mountains
in their legends, respectively being the first woman and man, granted knowledge and eternal youth by their deities
under a codified set of rules.Their legend concludes dramatically, withTena dying as a result of the devastation he
experienced when Fura broke the rule of fidelity for love. Stricken with grief, Fura wept for centuries in mourning.
Her tears are said to have become transformed into the devastatingly exquisite emeralds of the mountains that we see
today.
Columbian emeralds owe their stunning green colour to their composition which is predominantly made up of beryl-
lium, chromium and vanadium.The reactions between this elemental triad results in the rich grass green tone which
Columbian emeralds are so renowned for, made purer in this region by their crystallisation within fissures of sedimen-
tary rock formations.
Internationally, emeralds have long been representative of one’s wealth, status and place in society, favoured by Cleop-
atra in the final century BCE. Beyond this, they were considered to possess talismanic properties throughout antiquity,
specifically believed to protect marriages. Perhaps this significant duality of an emerald’s meaning influenced Napo-
leon Bonaparte’s 1806 gift of an emerald and diamond parure to his adopted daughter, Stéphanie, on the occasion of
her marriage. Known as the Beauharnais Emeralds, now held at theVictoria & Albert Museum in London, this parure
thrust emeralds into the spotlight where they have remained since.
A 19.77 carat Columbian emerald designed by Cartier would later become the focal piece ofWallis, Duchess ofWind-
sor’s 1936 engagement ring in her betrothal to EdwardVIII.The precious stone was similarly used in the setting of
Jacqueline Kennedy’s 1953Van Cleef & Arpels engagement ring, further adding to the emerald’s unwavering preferen-
tial use throughout history.

“The list of women who own his diamond and emerald encrusted animals reads like
Who’s Who. The Duchess of Windsor, Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, and Mrs. Amory wear
his green enamel frogs.” - Eugenia Sheppard, 1964, fashion editor for the New York
Herald Tribune.
DavidWebb founded his eponymous fine jewellery line in Manhattan on July 28th 1948, at
just twenty-three. His creations have come to embody the emboldened post-war era, exuding
extravagance and excess which was hitherto disparaged.Webb stands amongst few who in the
20th century lay claim to an aesthetic style which was wholly their own.Webb’s design were
uninhibited, audacious and mesmerising, fast attracting throngs ofAmerican royalty to his 2
West 46th Street address, quickly becoming‘NewYork’s best-known secret.’ Donned by Jac-
queline Kennedy, ElizabethTaylor and Estee Lauder,Webb jewellery has presence and demand
notice, designed for those with presence in the vast city.
Little is known ofWebb’s early life, though few from his hometown ofAsheville, North Carolina,
could foresee his meteoric rise to fame just a few short years following his move to NewYork.
Webb got his start inAsheville as an apprentice to his uncle, a silversmith, before landing a job
in the Diamond District of NewYork at the age of seventeen.The independence he exhibited to
move to NewYork at this ripe age only serves to demonstrateWebb’s individuated approach to
all aspects of design. He completed all of his design work himself, from the conceptualisation
of his pieces in pencil sketches in an unmistakably‘Webb’ fashion, through to their complete
fruition.
A fascination with colour is at the core of allWebb’s work, though ultimately this is dictated
by his deep respect for form and materials.Webb’s command of geometry gave him the liber-
ty to create without compromise, likening him to an architect as well as artist. It is this duali-
ty of material and form which caught the attention of Jacqueline Kennedy, who selectedWebb
to complete seven designs for the Kennedy gifts of state which honoured minerals native the
United States.All of these were accepted by Kennedy, prompting a lasting collaborative work
relationship between the pair, with Kennedy herself comparingWebb’s ingenuity of design to
that of Cellini.
In the 1970s, venerable houses such as Cartier andVan Cleef & Arpels turned to a resurgence
of the art deco style. Conversely, inWebb’s typical self-instructed style, he drew influence
from innumerable cultures spanning across many periods, holding no reservations in his
choosing.This was the penultimate result ofWebb’s studies of artefacts, utilising the extensive
resources which NewYork city had to offer. He famously found himself on the steps of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art weekly, preoccupying his mind with bygone ancient cultures,
from the Greco-Romans to the Byzantines.Artefacts from all corners of the world were
re-envisaged byWebb.A Minoan bull would become a gold belt buckle and Greek penannular
bracelets became the models forWebb’s signature gold animal bracelets. He thrust jewellery
further away from the abstract, embracing figurative forms and volume like no other. His ex-
uberant animal creations take their place amidst a lineage of figurative animal art, successors
of everything from Cartier’s 1940s‘big cat’ jewels to the legacy of the preserved talismanic
mythological creatures he found at the Metropolitan Museum.
It is for this breadth of influence, his stark individuality and boldness of design that brands
Webb the QuintessentialAmerican Jeweller.

Gianni Bulgari was born in 1935, the eldest son of Giorgio Bulgari and grandson of the founder, Sotirio. He led the family com-
pany 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 specificallyArt 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, de-
signed to complement the personality of the wearer.

  • 22. 22 Tuesday 17th September 2019 Art Nouveau was the first truly international design movement of the twentieth century and owing to its close association with the work of Louis ComfortTiffany became known as theTiffany Style inAmerica. It was popular between 1890-1910, during the period known as the belle époque. Jewellery was one of the most important expansions of this movement and the industry underwent a stylistic revolution. Soft, sinuous lines and organic forms inspired by flora and fauna characterise the jewellery of this period.To decorate these natural motifs, jewellers favoured the use of smaller gemstones rather than larger, more dramatic diamonds as seen in the previous centuries.The decora- tive femininity and elegance of this period could be beautifully described through pastel enamels, miniature gemstones, and curved metal lines, making jewellery the perfect medium to express the spirit of theArt Nouveau. Louis ComfortTiffany took up the study of enamels and jewellery more than 20 years after he established his reputation in the decora- tive arts. He was always eager to conquer new artistic terrain.As an artist who participated in major expositions of the day in Paris and elsewhere,Tiffany was well acquainted with European, primarily French and Belgian,Art Nouveau jewellers of the age, including René Lalique, HenriVerver and PhilipWolfers. Louis Comfort joinedTiffany in 1902 and established the “TiffanyArt Jewellery” department.This new division was headed up by Julia Munson and was responsible for the production of highly imaginative and innovativeArt Nouveau pieces.Tiffany’s design studios and work- shops forged their international reputation and establishedAmerican metalworking and jewellery skills on a level with those of Europe. Tiffany’s jewellery success was recognised at the International Exhibitions in Paris with multiple awards gifted to them circa 1900s. 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. Collectors and jewellers worldwide seek out vintageTiffany estate jewellery, such as the 14ct gold mesh purse featuring sapphire cabo- chons and seed pearls, because of the craftsmanship, beauty and how well it retains value.The gold mesh is beautifully interlinked.The delicate floral detail etched in the frame of the purse is typical of theArt Nouveau style of this 1910 piece. 24 AN EARLY 20TH CENTURY GOLD, SAPPHIRE AND PEARL COIN PURSE, BY TIFFANY & CO.

Cartier has established itself as one of the world’s preeminent crafters of high-end, modern, and vintage jewellery. Its watches have adorned the wrists of celebrities and royalty alike, with King EdwardVII of England once referring to Cartier as “the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers.” Cartier’s extensive collections are known to embody revival,Art Deco, and more contempo- rary styles, making them a sought-after commodity for generations both past and present. JeanneToussaint was made Creative Director for jewellery in 1933 and she continued to work for Cartier until her retirement in 1970. The working relationship between Louis Cartier and Toussaint was very successful, with Cartier imparting his knowledge of gemstones, diamonds, settings and technique, andToussaint bringing her joie de vivre, relentless creativity and eye for contemporary fashions. By the time she retired from Cartier in 1970,Toussaint had established her legacy as an artistic visionary; always experimenting, exploring and creating jewels for those with a worldly outlook and an eye on the future. Cartier is a notable creator of pieces depicting elaborate Blackamoor heads, which had been introduced by theVenetian form of Nardi. Blackamoor jewellery, also known as Moretti jewellery, was particularly popular during the 17th and 18th centuries and it is believed that it was originally created as amulets to ward off evil, or invasion by the Moors into Italy. Cartier first released their Blackamoor brooches in the early 1930’s. Blackamoor brooches depict black figures within the design, they are typically male with a head covering, usually a turban and covered in rich jewels and gold leaf. Early examples often have European racial features, apart from the colour.They are typically enamelled, carved from ebony or painted black to contrast with the bright colours of the embellishments. Depictions may only repre- sent the head, or head and shoulders, facing the viewer in a symmetrical pose. The brooch on sale atAdams is a lovely example of a typical Blackamoor brooch, made of black enamel, detailing a white enamel turban and surrounded by precious gems, including coral, seed pearls and diamond.The head faces the viewer in a symmetrical pose and sits on a yellow gold reeded neck. **Please note that this lot contains coral and is subject to CITES regulations when exporting outside of the EU

Diamonds were extremely popular and were often teamed with bright rubies, sapphires and emeralds, but one of the most defining signatures of this period is the use of black onyx paired with white diamonds.

Often cited as the jeweller to queens, the Maison is deeply rooted in French aristocracy, formally established in 1613 with aid of a decree granted by Marie de Medici to Jean-Marie Mellerio.This decree elevated Mellerio dits Meller’s status in Paris, however it is the Maison’s historic focus on design ingenuity and top-quality craftsmanship that has led to its longevity. From humble beginnings in theVigezzoValley of northern Italy, the Mellerio family would fast attract a vast clientele of nobility, from MarieAntoinette, to Queen Isabella of Spain. The story goes that in 1613, Jacques Pido, a junior chimney sweep at the Louvre, overheard a plan to assassinate a young King Louis XIII, son of Marie de Medici. Passing this knowledge to Jean-Marie Mellerio, Mellerio immediately reported the plot to Marie de Medici who handsomely awarded him with privileges to conduct trade freely throughout the kingdom. Such a decree, for‘services rendered to the Kingdom of France,’ set the Mellerio Maison on the path to notoriety which they would continually pave for generations to come. In 1815, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Mellerio, Mellerio dits Meller became the first jewellery boutique to open on Rue de la Paix.Their address has remained unchanged since this date, despite continued monumental cultural and social shifts, making the brand a true part of the physical and cultural landscape of Paris. During Jean-Baptiste’s directorship, and under Louis-Phillipe’s reign, Mellerio dits Meller became the official supplier of the Royal family. Such royal patronage was similarly extended to Mellerio dits Meller elsewhere in Europe. In 1867 the Maison was appointed as the official sup- plier of jewellery to the Italian King, and later, in 1888, gained the same title to the Court of Netherlands. Beyond historic significance, the Maison has been lauded for its constant reinvention, remaining at the forefront of technological advancements in jewellery design and experimenting with transformable designs. It is this duality which informs the way in which Mellerio dits Meller design is appreciated, frequently showcased at renowned events such as the Universal Exhibition of Paris and the Great London Exposition. One such example of this is the exploration of the intricacies of nature, paramount in Mellerio design since the nineteenth century. In 1854, Mellerio dits Meller patented a flexible stem mechanism for their jewellery to more viscerally resemble the delicate details of flora and fauna. The celebrated 1867 Mellerio peacock brooch highlights this, with acutely set minute diamonds onto the curvature of a spindly‘feathered’ tail made of fine gold.This creation was exhibited alongside a rock garden tiara, later bequeathed by Queen Isabel II of Spain, at the Paris Universal Exhibition.The tiara experiments in material, made with platinum, marking the first time in history that platinum was used in jewellery design. Operated today by Laure-Isabella Mellerio, the fourteenth generation to run the family business, Mellerio dits Meller remains a force in in- ternational jewellery design.The family name has become ingrained into the lasting cultural legacy of luxury Parisian design, which they have ultimately helped to mould.

From the austerity experienced during the war, to the economic boom and steadfast reconstruction of new wealth following, no period in history has seen such societal shifts of this magnitude.Thus, each piece of retro jewellery is commu- nicative of complex transitional era, possessing an incomparably distinct air of history that is inimitable today. Adorning oneself in jewellery continued to be in fashion throughout the war, remaining as a valuable source of portable capital in a time of uncertainty, though how this was achieved was changed. Rather than ceasing output, jewellery houses reinterpreted popularised 1930’s designs, renowned for their joie de vivre spirit of creativity.The continuing interest in this motto of‘live and forget the past’, marked an effort to bring a sense of exaltation into an era marred by war through fashion, in spite of a scarcity of materials. Jewellery design found influence in the avant-garde art deco forms of the 1930’s, while complementarily manipulating the functional aesthetics of industrial design to create boldly geometric and sculptural pieces. Retro bracelets, amongst the most popular jewels of the 1940’s, boldly reflect the unique nature of the era like none other. Van Cleef & Arpel’s honeycomb bracelet of the preceding decade continued to maintain widespread appeal for their wide geometric bands made up of repetitious hexagonal links with bold clasps. Such forms were reinterpreted in the 1940’s by venerable houses such as Cartier. Cartier’s‘tank’ chains fast became a popular source of influence for bracelet linking, inspired by industry and a broader vision of futurism. The design of the retro gold bracelet presented byAdam’s responds clearly to these infamous precursors. From the wide width of the band, made up of five alternating rows of bi-colour gold links, to the angular light reflective shape of each rectilinear link, it is a truly dynamic 40’s retro piece.

In recent history the blackamoor has been a source of controversy, however, it is considered to be a collectible within the art world. Notable collectors and wearers of blackamoor jewellery are the late Vogue editor DianaVreeland and the former director of the Museum ofAfrican Diaspora in San Fran- cisco, Denise BradleyTyson.“Every time I wear one,”Tyson says,“they always provoke a response and provide me with an opportunity to educate about the history of the Moors.”

In these earrings and brooch presented byAdam’s, every aspect of the design is considered and individualised for the client.Van Cleef & Arpel’s signature parure‘twist’ designs appear reinterpreted in the striking juxtaposition of pavé dia- monds amidst textured gold.These materials dynamically twist alongside one another with grace, creating asymmetric and voluminous forms that are both entirely unique yet emblematic of their decade. 84 A FINE GOLD AND DIAMOND BROOCH, BY VAN CLEEF & ARPELS, CIRCA 1970 COMMANDE SPECIALE Designed as three reeded gold interlocking hoops, each highlighted with graduating round brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18K gold,diamonds approximately 4.50cts total,signedVCA,numbered,French assay marks on brooch and pin,with maker's pouch, length 6cm,width 4.7cm € 10,000 - 15,000

Report number 20190603-273, dated June 3rd 2019 Columbian emeralds are said to be the purest in the world, possessing a depth of colour which is unfound and inimitable elsewhere.These have been extracted from Columbia for thousands of years, particularly in the region of Muzo, an area that known as the‘Emerald Belt,’ made up of the Fura andTena mountain peaks. The first to extract emeralds from Muzo were the native indigenous groups who interpreted their magnificent co- lour to be symbolic of fertility, water, and strength.This tribe, known as the Muiscans, were amongst the four most advanced civilisations of theAmericas during the period of conquest.They personified the Fura andTena mountains in their legends, respectively being the first woman and man, granted knowledge and eternal youth by their deities under a codified set of rules.Their legend concludes dramatically, withTena dying as a result of the devastation he experienced when Fura broke the rule of fidelity for love. Stricken with grief, Fura wept for centuries in mourning. Her tears are said to have become transformed into the devastatingly exquisite emeralds of the mountains that we see today. Columbian emeralds owe their stunning green colour to their composition which is predominantly made up of beryl- lium, chromium and vanadium.The reactions between this elemental triad results in the rich grass green tone which Columbian emeralds are so renowned for, made purer in this region by their crystallisation within fissures of sedimen- tary rock formations. Internationally, emeralds have long been representative of one’s wealth, status and place in society, favoured by Cleop- atra in the final century BCE. Beyond this, they were considered to possess talismanic properties throughout antiquity, specifically believed to protect marriages. Perhaps this significant duality of an emerald’s meaning influenced Napo- leon Bonaparte’s 1806 gift of an emerald and diamond parure to his adopted daughter, Stéphanie, on the occasion of her marriage. Known as the Beauharnais Emeralds, now held at theVictoria & Albert Museum in London, this parure thrust emeralds into the spotlight where they have remained since. A 19.77 carat Columbian emerald designed by Cartier would later become the focal piece ofWallis, Duchess ofWind- sor’s 1936 engagement ring in her betrothal to EdwardVIII.The precious stone was similarly used in the setting of Jacqueline Kennedy’s 1953Van Cleef & Arpels engagement ring, further adding to the emerald’s unwavering preferen- tial use throughout history.

  • 63. 63 101 AN ENAMEL AND RUBY FROG BROOCH, BY DAVID WEBB Designed as a stylised frog with smooth polished body of cream enamel, with fine line linear detail and ruby cabochon eyes, mounted in 18K gold,signedWebb, length 4.2cm,width 3cm € 5,000 - 7,000 “The list of women who own his diamond and emerald encrusted animals reads like Who’s Who. The Duchess of Windsor, Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, and Mrs. Amory wear his green enamel frogs.” - Eugenia Sheppard, 1964, fashion editor for the New York Herald Tribune. DavidWebb founded his eponymous fine jewellery line in Manhattan on July 28th 1948, at just twenty-three. His creations have come to embody the emboldened post-war era, exuding extravagance and excess which was hitherto disparaged.Webb stands amongst few who in the 20th century lay claim to an aesthetic style which was wholly their own.Webb’s design were uninhibited, audacious and mesmerising, fast attracting throngs ofAmerican royalty to his 2 West 46th Street address, quickly becoming‘NewYork’s best-known secret.’ Donned by Jac- queline Kennedy, ElizabethTaylor and Estee Lauder,Webb jewellery has presence and demand notice, designed for those with presence in the vast city. Little is known ofWebb’s early life, though few from his hometown ofAsheville, North Carolina, could foresee his meteoric rise to fame just a few short years following his move to NewYork. Webb got his start inAsheville as an apprentice to his uncle, a silversmith, before landing a job in the Diamond District of NewYork at the age of seventeen.The independence he exhibited to move to NewYork at this ripe age only serves to demonstrateWebb’s individuated approach to all aspects of design. He completed all of his design work himself, from the conceptualisation of his pieces in pencil sketches in an unmistakably‘Webb’ fashion, through to their complete fruition. A fascination with colour is at the core of allWebb’s work, though ultimately this is dictated by his deep respect for form and materials.Webb’s command of geometry gave him the liber- ty to create without compromise, likening him to an architect as well as artist. It is this duali- ty of material and form which caught the attention of Jacqueline Kennedy, who selectedWebb to complete seven designs for the Kennedy gifts of state which honoured minerals native the United States.All of these were accepted by Kennedy, prompting a lasting collaborative work relationship between the pair, with Kennedy herself comparingWebb’s ingenuity of design to that of Cellini. In the 1970s, venerable houses such as Cartier andVan Cleef & Arpels turned to a resurgence of the art deco style. Conversely, inWebb’s typical self-instructed style, he drew influence from innumerable cultures spanning across many periods, holding no reservations in his choosing.This was the penultimate result ofWebb’s studies of artefacts, utilising the extensive resources which NewYork city had to offer. He famously found himself on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art weekly, preoccupying his mind with bygone ancient cultures, from the Greco-Romans to the Byzantines.Artefacts from all corners of the world were re-envisaged byWebb.A Minoan bull would become a gold belt buckle and Greek penannular bracelets became the models forWebb’s signature gold animal bracelets. He thrust jewellery further away from the abstract, embracing figurative forms and volume like no other. His ex- uberant animal creations take their place amidst a lineage of figurative animal art, successors of everything from Cartier’s 1940s‘big cat’ jewels to the legacy of the preserved talismanic mythological creatures he found at the Metropolitan Museum. It is for this breadth of influence, his stark individuality and boldness of design that brands Webb the QuintessentialAmerican Jeweller. ©RuthPeltason,DavidWebbTheQuintessentialAmericanJeweller,pp203

He led the family com- pany 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 specificallyArt 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, de- signed to complement the personality of the wearer.
