The polished hinged bangle finely engraved with foliate detail throughout, the central repoussé motif set with an oval cabochon turquoise, between realistically modelled lizard decorations, inscribed “Given to me by her Majesty Queen Victoria, Nov. 15th 1837, R.E.R” to the inside, inner diameter 5.4cm
£1,000-1,500
Provenance: In her diary on Wednesday, 15th of November 1837, the young Queen Victoria wrote, “After breakfast… saw… Ly Tavistock with her little step sister-in-law, Ly Rachel Russell, a delightful child of 11, who sang a little Scotch song very nicely. I gave her a small bracelet.”
Acquired by the grandfather of the current vendor.
Footnote: Reptiles were prevalent in Victorian jewellery. Although snakes and salamanders (representing rebirth) are more frequently seen, lizards also featured in rare surviving Victorian examples from this period. Lizards held connotations of good fortune. Queen Victoria herself was famously gifted an ouroboros (a snake consuming it’s own tail) as an engagement ring designed by Prince Albert. The trend for naturalism in jewellery, lead by the Romantic movement, was just commencing at this time. It appears that the young Queen, who was a known prolific giver of jewellery, was very much at the forefront of this trend in jewellery design.


Lady Rachel Evelyn Russell (1826-1898) was the daughter of Georgiana, Duchess of Bedford. There is ambiguity as to who her father was. Her mother was married to John Russell, the 6th Duke of Bedford however she was known to have had an affair with the artist Edwin Landseer, 21 years her junior. Many contemporaries believed he was in fact Rachel’s father. There are several surviving works by Landseer featuring Lady Rachel as a young child. In 1856, Lady Rachel married James Butler, the 1st Marquess of Ormonde, they had four children together. Lady Rachel Butler became a novelist and wrote two books: Jessie Cameron: A Highland Story (1857) and The Prophecy (1862).

Octavio Sardà (born 1932) founded his eponymous brand of jewellery in 1958 in Spain. He initially trained in the workshops of the regarded Spanish jewellers Josep Llovera before branching out with his own designs. Sardà’s designs are characterised by bold gold creations. “I have always found inspiration in nature. For example, in a leaf or a bird. I like to think that I am inspired by the same things that inspired Antoni Gaudí.”
One of Sardà’s significant contributions was the design of the coat of arms of Constitutional Spain which he presented, in person, to King Juan Carlos I in 1983. He also collaborated with Salvador Dalí on the creation of a series of forty two bronze sculptures, now part of the Reynolds Morse Foundation at the Dalí Museum in St Petersburg, Florida.
Despite not having their own stores, for a time they hosted exhibitions in their own homes, Sarda’s work became stocked at top jewellery retailers and exported throughout Europe, the U.S. and South America. Octavio is now retired, and the firm is run by his daughter Eulàlia Sardà.

Of square outline, pierced centrally, signed Dinh Van and Cartier, ring size I½
£1,000-1,500
Jean Dinh Van (b. 1927) was born to a French mother and a Vietnamese father. He studied drawing at the Arts Décoratifs, then the art of metalwork at École des Arts Décoratifs, Paris. In 1950, he joined Cartier in Paris like his father before him, where he worked alongside Jeanne Toussaint. His father had trained in Viet Nam in the traditional craft of lacquered furniture. After serving in the French Army in WWI, he settled in Paris and was hired by Cartier in the 1920s to bring those skills to their items, such as cigarette cases. After 10 years at Cartier Paris, Dinh Van started his own venues, initially working on a collaboration with Jean Schlumberger. In 1965, he founded his own eponymous brand. In 1967 his work was recognised at the World Fair in Montreal. This marked the starting point of a second period work with Cartier, this time with the New York branch, designing exclusively for them. Dinh Van became the first ever designer whom Cartier permitted to co-sign their creations for the firm, a collaboration which lasted for a decade. His innovative, sculptural designs brought a unique edge to the firm. This honour was followed in 1970 by Aldo Cipullo.
According to a New York Times article published 2nd of April 1970, “Cartier bills him as a designer of ‘young’ jewelry —meaning that prices (which start at $30 for a simple ring and are mainly in the less than-$500 range) put the collection in the boutique, rather than the multicarat diamond area of the store”.

From 2002 to early 2003 the Gilbert Collection at Somerset House, London hosted the exhibition ‘The Jewels of JAR, Paris’. The exhibition consisted of 400 pieces created by the American born, French based master jeweller Joel Arthur Rosenthal. At the time of the exhibition, it was estimated that only around 250 people worldwide actually owned a work created by JAR. 145 of them lent their pieces to the exhibition. So secretive was the source of many of the jewels that photography was not permitted on at least half the exhibits.
Guests of the exhibition toured rooms in complete darkness making their way with a torch in hand. To view the displays, the viewer must literally shine their light on them, making each viewing experience unique and private. A series of four styles of aluminium and gold floral earclips were specially created for the exhibition for purchase. Retailing then at just £250 each. Both of these earrings were purchased by the vendor.

FOPE was founded in Vicenza, Italy in 1929, by Umberto Cazzola. In 1948 Umberto and his son Odino helped organise the Fiera dell’Oro (Gold Trade Fair) in Vicenza, where they exhibited their invention – an extendible watch strap. In the post war years Odino focused on exporting their gold watch straps, which they were producing for leading Swiss brands. In the 1960s, the company changed its name to FOPE (Fabbrica Oreficeria Preziosi per l’Esportazione).
By the 1970s the business was being run by Umberto Cazzola’s grandchildren, Umberto and Ines. FOPE’s most recognised designs are the Novecento mesh and the patented Flex’it technology, where tiny 18 carat gold springs are hidden between the gold links.

In 1924 Mauboussin, the historic French jewellery maison, expanded into the US opening a boutique on Park Avenue, New York and then shortly thereafter in Palm Beach, Florida. However following the Stock Market crash of 1929, the aggressively expanding firm found itself having to contract and by 1935 they had closed all their US premises.
Randolph J. Trabert & William Howard Hoeffer were young gemstone and jewellery buyers. Hoeffer believed Mauboussin’s situation represented a unique opportunity to form a partnership within the US. Together they applied French jewellery design to American manufacturing and marketing techniques. One of their key designers was Gustave Toth who developed “the first truly American jewel style”. The ‘Reflection’ line was introduced in 1938 and featured a distinctive move away from Art Deco jewellery to embrace a much bolder aesthetic. Ultimately, the seventeen year partnership ended in 1953. By that point Mauboussin had recovered from its financial difficulties of the 1930 and the impact of WWII. Hoeffer had also shifted away from the firm to focus on other projects and the collaboration suffered. The legacy of the joint venture was one of a dynamic reimaging of American jewellery and a unique output reflective of changing jewellery tastes.

Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. Certain enhancements, such as heating, are commonly used to improve colour or transparency in rubies and sapphires. Emeralds are also frequently treated, usually with oils or resin, for the same purpose. Other methods, including staining, dyeing, coating or irradiation, may have been used on other gemstones including Jade and associated hardstone that may have been bleached (usually in acid), polymer/resin filled or dyed, or a combination of any of these treatments. The international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods.
Heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, however, in some cases; this may have an impact on the durability of the gemstone. Gemstones that have been oiled may require reoiling after a number of years in order to retain their optimum appearance.
It is, in suitable cases, Lyon & Turnbull’s policy to obtain gemmological reports from internationally recognised gemmological laboratories describing certain gemstones sold

by Lyon & Turnbull. In the event that Lyon & Turnbull have been given, or have obtained, reports for any lot in the sale these reports will be mentioned in the catalogue description. However, it is not feasible for Lyon & Turnbull to obtain a gemmological report for each gemstone offered for sale by Lyon & Turnbull. If no report is published in the catalogue prospective buyers should assume that the gemstones may have been enhanced by some method. However, please note that there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degrees or types of treatment for any particular gemstone. Prospective buyers should be aware that Lyon & Turnbull’s pre-sale estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments.
ALL DIMENSIONS, WEIGHTS ARE APPROXIMATE.
Where printed in the catalogue, estimated diamond grades for colour and clarity are intended as guides for prospective buyers. Lyon & Turnbull do not guarantee these estimated grades due to the limitations of mounts and settings.

A1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS
Whilst we seek to describe Lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or Estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the Auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only.
We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below.
(a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way.
(b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.
(c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.
A3.
Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.
(a) Jewellery:
(i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future.
(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report
for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report.
(iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.
(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.
(b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/ newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys.
(c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is
sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given.
(d) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300.
(e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

(a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme.
(b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.
(c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above.

This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than £1,000. The charge for works of art sold at and above £1,000 and below £50,000 is 4%. For items selling above £50,000, charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.
E. WARRANTIES
E1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES
For each Lot, the Seller gives a warranty that the Seller;
(a) Is the owner of the Lot or a joint owner of the Lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners, or if the Sellers is not the owner of or a joint owner of the Lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the Lot, or the right to do so in law, and; (b) Had the right to transfer ownership of the Lot to the Buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either other above warranties are incorrect, the Seller shall not have to pay more than the Purchase Price (as defined in the glossary) paid by You to us. The Seller will not be responsible to You for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages or expense. The Seller gives no warranty in relation to any Lot other than as set out above and, as far as the Seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the Seller to You, and all obligations upon the Seller which may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded.
We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively,
“Authorship”) of each Lot in this Catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the Catalogue description of the Lot, as amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the Catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below.
In the event we, in our reasonable opinion, deem that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the Lot the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the Lot by the original purchaser.
This Guarantee does not apply if:
(a) The Catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion (s) of generally accepted scholar (s) and expert (s) at the date of the sale, or the Catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or
(b) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the Lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the Lot; or
(c) There has been no material loss in value of the Lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading.
This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the Lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Authenticity Guarantee, the original purchaser of the Lot must:
(a) notify us in writing within one month of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to dispute the accuracy of the Bold or Capitalised type heading, specifying the Lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such dispute; and
(b) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale.
We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the Lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of Lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We shall not be bound by any reports
produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original Purchase Price paid (the successful Hammer Price, plus the Buyer’s Premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. Lyon & Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest.
(a) You warrant that the funds used for settlement are not connected with any criminal activities, including tax evasion and You are neither; under investigation, have been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities or other crimes.
(b) Where You are bidding on behalf of another person You warrant that:
(i) You have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate Buyer (s) of the Lot (s) in accordance with all relevant antimoney laundering legislation, consent to us relying on this due diligence, and You will retain for a period of not less than five years the documentation evidencing the due diligence. You will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by a third party auditor upon our written request to do so;
(ii) The arrangements between You and the ultimate Buyer (s) in relation to the Lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes, and;
(iii) You do not know, and have no reason to suspect that the funds used for settlement are connected with the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate Buyer (s) are under investigation or have been charged with or convicted of moneylaundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.
