In his spare time when not being a curmudgeon or a champion procrastinator O’Brien is an obsessive book collector, a devotee of the works of Egon Schiele, Fantin
Latour and Stephen Sondheim.
He also loves antique jewels and can be frequently found nose to the vitrine of some jewellers like a child at a toy shop, gazing lustfully at some trembling, twinkling
trinket from days gone by.

I would love to thank Claire and the kind people atAdam’s
for allowing me to spend a delightful afternoon playing with their
glittering trays, full of wonderful treasures, which have been
carefully selected for December’s auction of jewels.
I have picked out my favourite 5 pieces below. I must buy a lottery
ticket as one or two of the pieces I have chosen would look splen-
did on my very naked lapels.
Lot 4: This old-cut diamond pin is just gorgeous, the diamonds
are wonderfully limpid and their sparkle is (in my humble
opinion) often more magical than the mega watt glitter of a more
modern cut. My grey flannel jacket needs this pin.
Lot 29: Even though this ring of oxidized silver is contemporary,
the domed shape and diamond studding echo the modernistic
designs of the great Suzanne Belperron. I think it’s gorgeous.
Lot 151:This necklace of natural pearls is very pretty but what
excites me about it is the wonderful blue enamel and old-cut
diamond central motif and pendant, it really could be Russian,
sending out sparks from the bosom of a Czarina.....and that cir-
cular pendentif detaches to become a tiny exquisite brooch.
Lot 8:A charming riviere of amethysts is so so pretty and would
look just as wonderful with a cashmere sweater as it would with
a little black dress: in fact I love posh jewels worn casually.Think
Vita SackvilleWest gardening with an emerald pin to hold her
ancient weed jacket closed.........now that’s style!
Lot 45: I love theseVictorian turquoise earrings, to this day there
is a proverb,‘That aTurquoise given by a loving hand carries with
it happiness and good fortune’; one wonders were these given as a
gift of love.They are so beautifully made and the tiny rows of rose
diamonds twinkle wonderfully.

Kieselstein-Cord is an international award winning luxury brand founded by
American designer and artist Barry Kieselstein-Cord in 1972. His mission was
to create a luxury company, based on the precedence of traditional French ate-
liers combined with a unique, contemporary vision. It was a vision that would
take highly original and exquisitely handmade products and distribute them
throughAmerica’s leading retailers of the time, Saks FifthAvenue, Henri Bendel
and BonwitTeller. His products include fine jewellery, sterling silver jewellery
along with leather goods such as handbags and home furnishings.
This newfound freedom allowed for greater variety and
experimentation of production and it was at this time that the lavish use of gold
and semi-precious stones emerged in Kieselstein-Cord’s work.The success of
these products paved the way for the renowned Pompeii and Borgia collections.
His rising fame and reputation amongst the fashion elite of NewYork allowed
him to reach a wider and more international audience.

A TWENTY-TWO CARAT GOLD NECKLACE, BY JEAN MAHIE, CIRCA 1970
Of “Cadene” design, set with twenty-two interlocking links of hammered gold, mounted in 22K gold,with maker’s mark for Jean Mahie,French assay
marks,length 43cm,approximately 131g total,with a book“Les créations de Jean Mahie”signed and inscribed by the artist
€ 3,700 - 4,300
The genius behind the Jean Mahie brand lies with its founders Jacline Mazard and her father-in-law Jean-Marie Mazard. Originally a painter,
Jacline also learned some metal work techniques at a young age. Her father-in-law Jean Mazard, an established business man, immediately rec-
ognised her artistic talent and saw an opportunity to harness these talents and set up a jewellery line.
Jacline has been quoted as saying “The inspiration for all the pieces comes from everyday life” - an interesting insight considering the apparent
influences from Roman, Greek and Phoenician art that can be seen in the primitive gold figures often included in Jean Mahie pieces. Jacline grew
up inTunisia surrounded byAncient Roman ruins; the influence of which is undeniable and creates an interesting juxtaposition of theAncient and
the Modern or “everyday”.
Just as Jacline and Jean-Marie refused any professional training from jewellery schools, their bold designs reject any modern techniques. Each
piece is sculpted and hammered out by hand.Although this is a painstaking process, the result is beautifully crafted one-of-a-kind pieces.
Van Cleef & Arpels, and Cartier, took a keen interest in Jean Mahie jewellery in its early stages and displayed their jewellery in their windows in
Paris, however these relationships disintegrated when the larger brands expressed a desire to take over Jean Mahie and mass produce their pieces.
Years later Stanley Marcus, president and CEO of Neiman Marcus from 1950-1975 saw someone, at a dinner party he was attending in New
York, wearing Jean Mahie jewellery and contacted the creators.Today Neiman Marcus are the sole retailers of Jean Mahie and they alone stock
1,000-1,500 Mahie pieces at a given time, which is incredible given that no two pieces are the same.
Since the creation of Jean Mahie in 1969, Jacline and Mazard have been crystal clear in their vision for their jewellery, emphasising the impor-
tance of craftsmanship and uniqueness - qualities which have driven Jean Mahie to the heights of success.The craftsmanship and care that goes
into each pieces is akin to the creative process of a work of art. Each piece is bold, defies trends and demands attention.There is no wonder why
this jewellery is so highly coveted all around the world.
