Bague Couple de Jean Vendôme, cristal de roche et tourmaline verte, diamants, or gris et jaune. Pièce unique.
Archipel, Amazonie, Pacifique, Tahiti, Bermudes... les créations de Jean & Thierry Vendôme ont en commun des sonorités exotiques invitant au voyage. Difficile pourtant de reconnaître du premier coup d'œil quel bijou porte la griffe du père, Jean, ou celle de Thierry, son fils car tous deux partagent le même amour pour les minéraux. Chez les Vendôme, les légendes familiales que l'on se raconte au coin du feu parlent de quartz rutile rouge, de la beauté d'une émeraude ou de la pureté d'une améthyste. Des pierres incroyables que les deux artistes sertissent ensuite dans leur atelier de la rue Saint-Honoré sur de jolies parures en or rehaussées de diamants baguette ou de péridots brillants. Un jeu de recherche sur les matières à découvrir du 8 janvier au 2 février prochain à la Galerie Martel-Greiner à Paris autour de l'exposition Le Chant du Minéral. Père et fils y mettent en regard leurs créations, soulignant le travail effectué par Jean dans les années 70 et les innovations apportées par Thierry quelques années plus tard pour compléter ce précieux cabinet minéralogique.
Du 8 janvier au 2 février prochain, "Le Chant du Minéral"à la Galerie Martel-Greiner à Paris.

Platinum and Diamond Brooch, Van Cleef & Arpels - Photo Sotheby's
Designed as a bow knot with articulated ribbons, set with numerous round and baguette diamonds weighing approximately 60.00 carats, signed VCA, numbered 45159, circa 1930. With signed box. Estimation: 75,000 - 100,000 USD
Notes: Founded in 1906 on the Place Vendôme, Van Cleef & Arpels had become one of the leading jewelry houses in Paris by the 1930s. Their innovative designs and master craftsmanship quickly set them apart from their competition, as they both embraced and helped drive the nascent Art Deco movement. Starkly contrasting rigid, rectilinear shapes with circular motifs was a hallmark of the time, and the present brooch is no exception. The interplay of baguette and round diamonds is echoed by the rounded tops of the bows and the sharp angles at the bottom. Belying the industrial ethos of Art Deco, however, this brooch exhibits a supple flexibility and extraordinary workmanship that so clearly separated Van Cleef & Arpels from the other jewelry manufacturers of the day.
