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.

Three years later he continued on his own as ‘Louis Kuppenheim’ and became a renowned gold and silver boxmaker and smallworker in Germany in the early 20th century. It has been suggested that Kuppenheim made pieces for major brands, including Cartier and Boucheron and the firm focused mainly on small objets, such as smoking requisites, stationery and vanity sets. Kuppenheim products were awarded a gold medal at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. At its height the company employed over 200 craftsmen in their Pforzheim factories and in addition to their Paris store, they had a thriving export business. As the Kuppenheims were of Jewish extraction, after 1933 their business declined and increasing Nazi persecution saw to the eventual closure of the business.

A RARE TURQUOISE, DIAMOND AND GARNET SERPENT NECKLACE, CIRCA 1865 Of ouroboros form, the highly flexible body set with graduated circular cabochon turquoises within collet-setting, the eyes set with similarly-cut cabochon garnets embellished by rose-cut diamond accents, within fitted case by 'Payne & Sons, jewellers & Goldsmiths, in ordinary to the Queen. The Queen Dowager, H.R.H. The Prince Albert & Royal family. 21, Old Bond Street. Bath.', length 41cm Snake motifs are one of the earliest historical and culturally diverse mythological symbols, and figure prominently in jewellery. These intriguing creatures make for alluring pieces of jewellery inspired by serpents through the ages, from the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to the Gods of ancient mythology. They represent a host of meanings in different countries and civilisations. To the pharaohs of Egypt, snakes represented royalty and deity and they wore them as sacred pendants around their necks. The Romans had different interpretations ranging from everlasting love to a symbol of wisdom. The Greeks also looked toward the serpent as representing this quality, and Aesculapius, their god of medicine, was always depicted with a snake wrapped around his staff - a motif that continues to remain the symbol of the medical profession. While for the Hindus, Hebrews and Native Americans the creature is endowed with various meanings within the cycle of the human life, ranging from rebirth, transformations, sexuality and desire. As it quite common with members of royal families, particular fashions adopted by specific individuals can lead to them becoming an iconic symbol of the period. In 1839, Queen Victoria did just that for the snake motif in jewellery. On her engagement to Prince Albert she was presented with a ring formed as continuous snake, signifying their everlasting love. It was set with an emerald, her birthstone, centered in its head. Queen Victoria's ring set a trend throughout England, and eventually across Europe, for a range of snake rings, coil-style flexible necklaces and bracelets with gem-set heads, as well snake brooches, cuffs, bangles, and wonderfully designed earrings that featured a snake slinking around a gemstone. Colour is of particular importance in jewellery designs which are inspired by animal motifs as they add life and character to the piece. Turquoise was plentiful during the 19th century and among the most fashionable gems for everyday wear. Victorian jewellers used round turquoise cabochons to represent the scales of their snaky creations. The stone's popularity, in fact, inspired Tiffany & Co. founder, Charles Lewis Tiffany, to choose its colour for the cover the first Blue Book, a catalogue of the house's jewels, in 1845; today, the colour is referred to simply as: Tiffany Blue. The Art Nouveau period favoured naturalistic and animal/insect motifs and the snake continued to be an inspiration in jewellery designs. In the 20th century houses such as Cartier, Bulgari and Boucheron, adopted the serpent but translated it into their own aesthetics and style.

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.
