A CULTURED PEARL AND DIAMOND NECKLACE, BY M. GÉRARD, CIRCA 1970Composed of five rows of cultured pearls centring a textured gold motif highlighted with brilliant-cut diamonds and suspending a cultured pearl tassel, mounted in 18K gold, signed M. Gérard, numbered B81/2, with maker's mark 'AV' for André Vassort, French assay mark, with maker's travel pouch, necklace length approximately 40cm, length of pendant with tassel 9cmAndré Vassort established his workshop in 1955. He became renowned for this fine workmanship and was sought after by the elite French jewellery houses such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron, Fred Paris and Mauboussin. Together with Gérard, they created exquisite jewellery pieces for more than twenty years.Frenchman Louis Gérard worked for many years for the world-famous house of Van Cleef & Arpels before making the decision to establish a maison of his own in 1968. Thus, the house of M Gérard was born and opened its doors for the first time at 8 Avenue Montaigne in Paris.Gérard worked primarily with the Atelier Vassort workshop producing magnificent suites of jewellery of the highest quality and craftsmanship and lavishly decorated with diamonds and precious gems. A character with a large personality, Gérard delighted in throwing fabulously stylish parties from Cannes to Monte Carlo, for the jet-setting elite he proudly called clients. His boutiques were situated in London, Lausanne, Monte Carlo and Gstaad, an upscale resort town in the Swiss Alps.However, the rapid expansion and extravagant entertaining budget sadly proved unsustainable and in 1985, Gérard was forced to sell out to a group of American investors. He later succeeded in re-gaining his company and re-launched under the name of Louis Gérard, Joaillier International but this success was short-lived and by 1991, the firm was forced once again to shut its doors.Today, pieces from the prestigious house continue to be highly sought after for their magnificent quality. A number of pieces by the house appeared as highlights of The Royal House Sale at Christies Geneva in November 2006, one of the top ten most expensive private jewellery collections ever sold at auction.

Lot 1097

Attributed to Maynier et Pinçon, a fine Art Deco multi-gem-set and enamel brooch, circa 1925, designed as a spray of flowers, leaves and berries, within a scalloped circular frame on a horizontal bar, set with circular-cut diamonds, outlined in black enamel, and accented with cabochon rubies, sapphires and emeralds, mounted in platinum, length 6.5cm, French assay mark for platinum, partial French maker's marks for Maynier et Pinçon, caseMaynier et Pinçon were based at 10, Rue Castiglione in Paris, and were one of the capital's most prestigious jewellery workshops. Later known as the training ground of the jeweller Pierre Sterlé, jewels made by Maynier et Pinçon appeared in the cabinets of Boucheron, Linzeler et Marchak and Marzo at the seminal 'Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes', which took place in Paris in 1925. The abbreviation of the fair's rather long title gave its name to the bold new aesthetic that was reflected in the jewels and objects exhibited there, as well as their architectural surroundings - 'Art Deco'. Though it is widely reported that Maynier et Pinçon produced important jewels for these famed jewellery houses in the mid 1920s, documented examples of the workshop's jewels are extremely scarce, making this extraordinary jewel an exciting rediscovery from one of the unsung heroes of Art Deco jewellery, made at one of the great turning points in jewellery design history.The combination of carved or cabochon rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds with accents of black enamel was a defining 'Art Deco' jewellery design aesthetic of the mid 1920s, and can be seen in designs by Cartier, Lacloche Frères, Mauboussin, Boucheron and Marzo, often used for stylised, geometric depictions of flowers and birds. Cf.: Pierre Contreau et al., Le Grand Négoce, organe du commerce de luxe français: Exposition des arts décoratifs 1925, Paris, 1925, pages 11, 19, 29 and 35, for stylised floral jewels of comparable style and technique exhibited at the 1925 fair by Mauboussin, Boucheron, Lacloche and Marzo. Cf.: Laurence Mouillefarine and Véronique Ristelheuber, Lacloche Joaillers, Paris, 2019, p.168-9 and 183 for additional mid 1920s jewels by Lacloche of comparable design, and p.265 for a later platinum, ruby and diamond bracelet later made by Maynier et Pinçon for Jacques Lacloche in 1938.

His work adorned their most discerning clients and he became a favourite in carrying out special commissions.

Generous to a fault, he installed his mother and brother in the best quarter of Paris and constantly entertained friends in his homes in Paris and Deauville. In 1937 he married Alice Snow Barbee, an American from High Point, North Carolina, whom he described as 'the only luxury in my life I do not share'. At the advent of World War Two, the couple fled to the USA, eventually settling in New York's Fifth Avenue with an estate on Long Island. The Lurcy's loved to surround themselves in opulence with Georges adding to his art collection, of which he was very proud, as well as showering Alice in exquisite jewels. He saw the acquisition of art as 'money reaping paradise'. Alice writing in 1945 told him 'you are the dearest, most exquisite little husband in the whole wide world; I love you so tenderly, and I want you to know that you have been the only happiness, love and pleasure in my whole life.'For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

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.
