Weight: 13.48 gr
Accompanied by a certificate LFG N° 325647 attesting fine pearls, sea water
Diam: 9.3 - 10.4 mm approx / height not measurable 9.2 - 10.4 mm approx / height not measurable Accompanied by a certificate of Mr. Olivier Baroin attesting that it is a creation of Suzanne Belperron before 1935. This type of creation appears very early in her work while she was working at René Boivin (1919/1932)
Suzanne Belperron
A personality, a character... an emblematic figure of the world of modern jewellery.
Suzanne Belperron won first prize at the Besançon School of Fine Arts in 1918. In 1919, she began her brilliant career with Jeanne Boivin, who hired her as a model designer. In March 1932, tired of seeing her image reflected in the mirror of the deceased 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 great pearl and precious stone merchant, who offered her the opportunity to take over the reins of his company, allowed her to blossom in complete freedom.
Suzanne Belperron was to become one of the most fashionable designers of the 1930s. Her models revolutionized the world of jewelry| her materials, her volumes, her creations sometimes verge on excess, both artistically and sculpturally. Even if the jewellery is sometimes a little exuberant, it remains no less elegant. His creativity never exceeds the limits of good taste: that is the key to the mystery
Belperron mystery. Suzanne Belperron's work is singular. Her jewellery is certainly graphic and pure, but above all sensual, not to say carnal.
A prestigious clientele

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
