Suzanne Belperron
A personality, a character... An emblematic figure in the world of modern jewelry
Suzanne Belperron won first prize at the École des Beaux-arts de Besançon in 1918, and in 1919 began her brilliant career working alongside Jeanne Boivin, who hired her as a model designer. In March 1932, tired of seeing her image reflected in the mirror of the late René Boivin, Madame Belperron, who had been co-director of the company for almost ten years, resigned, leaving behind her an indelible mark. Bernard Herz, a leading trader in pearls and precious stones, offered her the chance to take over the reins of his company, giving her complete freedom to blossom.
Suzanne Belperron would become one of the most fashionable designers of the roaring '30s. Her designs revolutionized the world of jewelry| her materials, volumes and creations sometimes verged on the excessive, both artistically and sculpturally. Even if the jewelry is sometimes a little exuberant, it remains elegant. Her creativity never oversteps the bounds of good taste: this is the key to the Belperron mystery. Suzanne Belperron's work is singular. Her jewelry is graphic and pure, but above all sensual, not to say carnal.
A prestigious clientele sought her out, as evidenced by her order books, which list royal families, aristocrats, bankers and film stars... All over the world, people marveled at the jewels imagined for the Duchess of Windsor, the Begum Aga Khan, the Maharani of Baroda, the Baroness of Rothschild, Elsa Schiaparelli, Nina Ricci, Daisy Fellowes, Ganna Walska or Merle Oberon...
Unlike most of the great jewellers, Suzanne Belperron never signed her jewels. Endowed with a strong personality, the artist's only adage was "my style is my signature". Her work still inspires many of them today.

Olivier Baroin
Une personnalité, un caractère... Une figure emblématique du monde de la joaillerie moderne Premier prix de l'École des Beauxarts de Besançon en 1918, Suzanne Belperron débute dès 1919 sa brillante carrière aux côtés de Jeanne Boivin qui l'engage au poste de dessinatrice modéliste. En mars 1932, lasse de voir son image se refléter dans le miroir du défunt René Boivin, Madame Belperron alors codirectrice de la Maison depuis bientôt dix ans, démissionne laissant derrière elle, une empreinte inaltérable. Bernard Herz, grand négociant en perles fines et pierres précieuses, qui lui a proposé de prendre les rênes de sa société va lui permettre de s'épanouir en toute liberté. Suzanne Belperron va désormais compter parmi les créatrices les plus en vogue des folles années 30. Ses modèles révolutionnent le monde de la parure | ses matières, ses volumes, ses créations effleurent parfois la démesure, tant sur un plan artistique que sculptural. Même si le bijou se veut parfois un peu exubérant, il n'en demeure pas moins élégant. Sa créativité n'outrepasse jamais la limite du bon goût : là est la clef du mystère Belperron. L'oeuvre de Suzanne Belperron est singulière. Elle se traduit par des bijoux certes graphiques et purs, mais surtout sensuels pour ne pas dire charnels. Une clientèle prestigieuse la sollicite comme en témoignent ses carnets de commandes qui répertorient familles royales, aristocrates, banquiers ou étoiles du cinéma... Aux quatre coins du monde, on s'émerveille devant les parures imaginées pour la duchesse de Windsor, la bégum Aga Khan, la maharani de Baroda, la baronne de Rothschild, Elsa Schiaparelli, Nina Ricci, Daisy Fellowes, Ganna Walska ou Merle Oberon... Contrairement à la plupart des grands joailliers, Suzanne Belperron ne signa jamais ses bijoux. Dotée d'une forte personnalité, l'artiste avait pour seul adage «mon style est ma signature». Son oeuvre inspire d'ailleurs, encore aujourd'hui, grand nombre d'entre eux. Olivier Baroin
