PR OPERTY FROM A DISTINGUISHED COLLECTOR

(LOTS 501-516)

The following casket of jewels (lots 501 to 516), represents a lifetime of collecting. Each piece was carefully and purposefully selected by an elegant, eloquent and erudite Italian lady who was guided by her refined taste and quest for beauty. The collection is both a reflection of her artistic appreciation as well as her personal history and the emotional milestones that marked her life. As such she transformed mere adornment into a highly personalised form of expression, showcasing her love for and knowledge of the best 20th -century design and craftsmanship

from a panoply of prestigious international houses including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron, Chaumet, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co. and David Webb. This finely curated ensemble reflects the collector’s assured taste and sophisticated artistic sensibilities.

Sotheby’s are honoured to be presenting this collection in our High Jewelry and Fine Jewelry sales this season, in Geneva. To see the rest of the collection please go to Sothebys.com to view lots in the Fine Jewelry sale.

COMTE ALEXIS DUPARCHY (1835-1907)

Jean Alexis Dauphin Duparchy was a French nobleman and entrepreneur with a highly successful career spanning some of the most important railroad and public infrastructure projects of the mid- to late 19th century. Duparchy was born in 1835 in the Jura region in Eastern France to a family of landowners. He received a solid education and trained as an engineer in Paris. From 1862, he worked for the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord during the railroad boom of Napoleon III’s Second French Empire. In 1865, he joined the team of Ferdinand de Lesseps and spent four years working on the construction of the Suez Canal, arguably the most groundbreaking feat of engineering of the XIXth century. After the fall of the French Second Empire in 1870, Duparchy became one of the most important investors of his time, participating in railroad construction programmes in Ethiopia, Russia, Romania and Portugal where he worked together with Bartissol and Eiffel. The largest project he participated in was the building of Montevideo harbour in Uruguay starting in 1901.

In 1882, he crowned his business successes by acquiring the Château de Savigny-sur-Orge. In fact, he received the château from the marquess of Alta-Viva in lieu of unpaid debts. For eighteen years Duparchy sat on the municipal council of the adjoining village of Savignysur-Orge and was a beloved figure of the community.

MARZO

Lorenzo Marzo was born in Madrid to a family of silversmiths. In 1901, he settled in Paris where he quickly became one of the most sought-after jewellers of the early 20th century. Marzo initially had an address on rue Saint-Honoré, but later relocated to rue de la Paix, the most prestigious location for jewellers at the time. Stores in Biarritz and Madrid soon followed. During the Belle Époque Marzo created stately pieces in the garland style such as the present lot. His creations from this period were particularly beloved by the Spanish aristocracy. In the 1920s, Marzo became known for a highly colourful take on the art deco style, winning a grand prix at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs. When Lorenzo Marzo passed away in 1929, his company was continued by his son Rafael.

LITERATURE

For jewels in similar taste see:

“The Belle Epoque of French Jewellery 1850-1910”, various contributors, London, 1990, page 145, no 74, a floral bracelet set with calibré-cut gems, by Boucheron, designed by Auguste Bugniot, 1898.

Duncan, Alistair, “The Paris Salons 18951914”, Suffolk, 1994, page 84 for multigem-set floral jewels by Boucheron dated 1901.

✝ CHF 65,000-95,000

US$ 85,000-120,000

This jewel is a superb example of Boucheron’s exquisite craftsmanship. Each gem is precisioncut and beautifully matched and the pendant is impeccably weighted. The elongated diamond briolettes are not only an unusual design feature but an opulent addition to this masterpiece in miniature.

Boucheron relied on a network of specialised craftsmen rather than a single, centralised workshop. Auguste Bugniot and Theophile Picot were two such jewellers who were employed.

Auguste Bugnoit, engaged by Boucheron from around 1890, appears to have focused on naturalistic forms and his compositions frequently returned to floral motifs. His use of calibré-cut gemstones is especially noteworthy. This specific technique required stones to be cut and faceted by hand to precise, custom dimensions to fit seamlessly within complex, often curved settings such as petals and buds.

Théophile Picot, by contrast, may be characterised as operating at the intersection of jewellery and sculpture, creating “little marvels of extraordinary precision and finish” (Gilles Néret). His work is distinguished by an acute attention to microscopic modelling and threedimensional form.

EDWIGE FEUILLÈRE

Edwige Feuillère (1907-1998) was one of the most distinguished French stage and screen actresses of the 20th century with a career spanning over six decades. For generations of French film and theatre audiences Ms Feuillère was a beloved star thanks to her wide dramatic range, elegant dress sense, charming countenance and melodious speaking voice.

Born in Besançon in 1907, she studied acting at the conservatory of dramatic arts of Dijon. In 1930, she joined the Comédie Française. In 1935, Ms Feuillère rose to widespread fame when she starred in the historical

drama Lucrèce Borgia directed by the legendary film director Abel Gance, best known for his epic Napoléon (1927). One scandalous scene in Lucrèce Borgia, showed the title character nude in profile.

Édwige Feuillère appeared in films by the greatest directors of her day such as Marcel Tourneur’s Mam’zelle Bonaparte (1942) and Sans Ledemain (1940) and de Mayerling à Sarajevo (1940) both by Austrian émigré Max Ophuls.

On the stage, her greatest roles included the heroine in La Dame aux Camelias, the title character in La Folle de Chaillot and the femme fatale in Paul Claudel’s Partage de Midi. In 1943, Ms Feuillère created the role of Lia in Jean Girardeaux’s Sodome et Gomorrhe, the play ran for 215 performances. Her interpretation of Racine’s Phaedre was hailed as the gold standard for anyone following her in the classic role.

She had a close friendship and working relationship with Jean Cocteau who wrote the play L’Aigle à Deux Têtes for her, a fictional romance loosely based on the myth of Empress Sissi. After a run of 200 performances, she reprised the role in the 1947 film adaptation opposite Jean Cocteau’s partner Jean Marais. In the 1950s, she starred in the film le Blé en Herbe (1954), based on Colette’s novel about a MayDecember relationship between a teenage boy and a middle-aged woman.

Following a career lasting decades, Ms Feuillère’s last appearance was in a 1995 television film based on the Balzac novel La Duchesse de Langeais.

Allegra, Celtaura and Naturalia are but a few of the alluring names which Bulgari gave to its characteristic collections of the 1990s featuring a panoply of brightly coloured gemstones. This bold and imaginative use of colour is a Leitmotif throughout Bulgari’s repertoire and a key component of the Italian jeweller’s creative DNA.

DE BEERS

THE CONTEMPORARY CELEBRATION: DE BEERS DIAMONDS

Today diamonds continue to fascinate not only for their origins, but for the way they interact with light and design. In the hands of master craftsmen, rough stones are transformed through cutting and polishing into objects of extraordinary brilliance. Each facet is carefully positioned to reveal the stone’s natural radiance. A diamond jewel represents two forms of artistry: nature’s creation and human craftsmanship. The result is a work of art designed to be worn.

De Beers diamonds embody this unique dialogue between nature and human creativity. Each stone begins its journey deep within the Earth, formed over billions of years before emerging through ancient geological forces. Carefully selected and expertly crafted, these diamonds reveal the full beauty of their natural brilliance. Their rarity, authenticity and origin make them enduring symbols of elegance and meaning. They are not simply jewels; they are icons of nature itself.

THE ENDURING ICON

This is the enduring power of a diamond: a fragment of deep time, transformed into light. Diamonds existed long before us, and they will endure long after us. Within their brilliance lives the memory of the Earth’s beginnings, the imagination of countless cultures and the stories of the people who wear them.

DIAMONDS: NATURE’S RAREST CREATIONS

Diamonds are among the most remarkable natural objects on Earth. Formed billions of years ago deep within the planet under intense heat and pressure, they are crystalline records of geological time. Each diamond is unique, shaped by the conditions of its formation and the geological journey that carried it toward the surface. Their unmatched hardness, rarity, and ability to refract and disperse light have made them enduring symbols of purity, strength, and permanence across civilizations.

Throughout history, diamonds have also held powerful cultural meaning. Long before their scientific origins were understood, they were revered in myth and philosophy as objects of protection, enlightenment, and divine energy. Across cultures, they came to represent moments of lasting human significance, celebrations of love, achievement, and memory, helping to establish the diamond as one of the world’s most enduring natural icons.

THE GLOBAL JOURNEY OF DIAMONDS

Diamonds have long travelled across continents through trade, imagination, and storytelling. In China, the diamond first appeared not as adornment but as a tool capable of cutting jade, the most revered of Chinese stones. Historical records describe it arriving through ancient trade routes, carrying with it knowledge, craftsmanship, and mythic stories from distant lands. Over centuries, the diamond became embedded in Chinese culture through philosophy, literature, and spiritual symbolism, most famously in the Buddhist Diamond Sutra, where the stone represents clarity capable of cutting through illusion.

A NEW COLLABORATION

The unveiling of this pair of perfectly matched round brilliant-cut diamonds (lot 617), each weighing precisely 18.38 carats, marks the beginning of a new partnership between De Beers and Sotheby’s to present exceptional diamonds as cultural works of art. These diamonds will headline Sotheby’s international auction moments starting in Hong Kong, Geneva, and New York.

PEACE PARKS FOUNDATION

LOTS 615 & 616

De Beers believe natural diamonds can do more than sparkle. They can help societies thrive. They can make life brilliant. De Beers’ commitment to sustainability through Building Forever, is how they translate rarity into responsibility – aiming to help create sustainable, lasting impact that endures beyond diamonds for the countries, communities and ecosystems that make their business possible.

Diamonds are one of nature’s greatest and most beautiful treasures, formed up to 3 billion years ago, and found in some of the world’s most remote, beautiful, and wild environments. Working in these ecosystems requires extreme care for nature. De Beers has managed nature reserves in Southern Africa for more than 130 years, and their sites have biodiversity management programmes to avoid, reduce, or restore our impact on nature. Through partnerships like Peace Parks Foundation, today, De Beers’ conservation efforts are helping to protect vast swathes of land and keystone species across Southern Africa.

Excerpt from the SSEF Appendix Letter

AN EXCEPTIONAL AND RARE FANCY VIVID BLUE DIAMOND

6.03 CARATS

AN EXCEPTIONAL AND RARE FANCY VIVID BLUE DIAMOND

FANCY VIVID BLUE DIAMONDS

Only 0.3% of all diamonds display a colour that is predominantly blue. Of this only a very small subsection qualifies as Fancy Vivid Blue. In a study comprising over 462 blue diamonds, the Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) graded merely 1% as Fancy Vivid Blue. Research conducted by the GIA established that blue diamonds are formed far deeper in the Earth’s mantle than any other diamonds. Furthermore, the worldrenowned laboratory also discovered an inherent link between blue diamonds and the oceanic waters.

GRADING BLUE DIAMONDS

Blue diamonds occur in a wide range of tones, but only in a relatively small range of saturation. As the grade boundaries are more nuanced than is the case for other coloured diamonds, longstanding experience is required to face the challenges of grading blue diamonds. The differences in tone can easily be misinterpreted as differences in saturation to the inexperienced eye.

SOURCES

From the 1860s onwards, South Africa emerged as the predominant source, not just of large and beautiful colourless diamonds, but occasionally of rare fancy coloured diamonds as well. South African mines that are known to have produced blue diamonds include Jagersfontein and Koffiefontein, both of which were located near Kimberley. Smaller sources were also found at the Bellsbank mine near Barkly West and at the Helam mine in Swartsruggens. Very rarely, blue diamonds have been found in alluvial deposits at Lichtenburg in the Western Transvaal. Historically, central Africa has been a source, particularly the Congo and Angola. Other West African countries such as Guinea and Sierra Leone are also known to have produced blue diamonds. Outside of Africa, blue diamonds have also been discovered in Borneo.

TYPE IIB DIAMONDS

The type IIb classification signifies that a small amount of the trace element boron is present in a diamond’s chemical composition. Boron in turn contributes strongly to the blue appearance of the diamond, which is also related to exposure to high pressure during the formation process. An unusual property of type IIb diamonds is their high electric conductivity.

BORON AND OCEANIC CRUSTAL SUBDUCTION

Boron is a chemical element that is concentrated in rocks and sediments near the Earth’s surface. When these crustal rocks weather and decompose, boron is filtered into rivers where it is delivered as dissolved chemical elements into the ocean. In mantle rocks, however, the concentration of boron is very low.

Recent scientific studies suggest that boron, incorporated in clays and other minerals in the oceanic crust, is carried down into the mantle along with hydrous minerals by a conveyor-like-process which is called oceanic crustal subduction by geologists. In the mantle, these crustal minerals break down and release a boron-rich fluid that triggers diamond formation.

FORMATION

It is possible for geologists to age-date the formation of rough diamond crystals based on tiny amounts of radioactive mineral inclusions which get trapped in the growing crystals. It is now known that diamond formation began as much as 3.5 billion years ago, and the resulting crystals then remained deep in the earth for millions of years, before being emplaced near the earth’s surface in more recent geological times. Most blue diamonds contain boron and little to no nitrogen, they display an irregular crystal lattice and can sometimes occur in large sizes. These features suggest formation under different geologic conditions compared to the majority of colourless diamonds. Blue diamonds can also contain mineral inclusions which allow geologists to deduce information on the depth and host rock during the diamond’s formation. The minerals encountered within these inclusions are only found together in environments exposed to high pressure, extremely deep inside the Earth’s mantle. These mineral inclusions allow scientists to conclude that blue diamonds formed at a depth of 400 to 600 kilometers within the Earth’s mantle. In contrast, the majority of near-colourless diamonds were created between 150 and 200 kilometers below the Earth’s surface and resided there for millions of years before volcanic eruptions emplaced them near the Earth’s surface. Therefore, blue diamonds are formed much deeper within the Earth’s mantle than the vast majority of other diamonds.

RUBEL FRÈRES

Founded in Paris in 1915 by the Hungarian-born brothers Jean and Robert Rubel, Rubel Frères established their workshop at 22 rue Vivienne, not far from the Place Vendôme. Within a decade they had built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship that brought them to the attention of the most prestigious jewellers in Paris, among them Van Cleef & Arpels, Ostertag and other distinguished houses of the Place Vendôme, for whom they produced some of the defining pieces of the Art Deco era, eventually relocating to a larger premises at 16 avenue de l’Opéra.

In 1939, with war approaching, the brothers moved to New York, where they continued their success before striking out independently in 1943, opening John Rubel & Co. at 777 Fifth Avenue. It was during this American chapter that their celebrated series of dancer and ballerina brooches, conceived with designer Maurice Duvalet, would captivate a new clientele that included Ingrid Bergman and the great American jewellery firms. Their work remains among the most sought-after of the Art Deco period.

CRAVATE NECKLACES

The late 1920s to the early 1930s, saw a short-lived flowering of highly distinct and articulated ‘cravate’ or ‘tie’ necklaces. These elaborate jewels terminated in a long pendant or tassel that could be worn at the front of a dress, or draped asymmetrically over one shoulder. The style lent itself perfectly low-cut dresses, a sumptuous jewel for a sartorial choice that would have been scandalous in the not-so-distant past. Glamorous, sleek and slinky gowns of satin cut on the bias featured prominently in the evening fashions of the early 1930s, as exemplified by the designer Madeleine Vionnet. The finely articulated, fabric-like quality of the tie-necklace complements this aesthetic to perfection and encapsulates all the style, beauty and allure of the era.

Several maisons on Place Vendôme made variations on the style including Lacloche Frères, Van Cleef & Arpels and Mauboussin. The tie-necklace is a prime example of Lacloche Frères’ creative forces. During the 1920s, Parisian jewelers had created a variety of

long, articulated, richly adorned shoulder brooches; the tie-necklace may be viewed, in part, as an evolution of this form. Furthermore, tie-necklaces provided ample frameworks in which to showcase the highly geometricized links and variously shaped diamonds that characterise the art deco style. Similar necklaces set throughout with diamonds or accented by emerald drops featured prominently in Lacloche Frères’ publicity illustrations of the period.

By the mid-1930s, the taste for long necklaces had given way to shorter bib styles and collars and thus the tie-necklaces seem to have been discontinued by 1935. The lavish nature of tie-necklaces was such that only a handful of examples were ever produced. As virtuosic showpieces displaying the jeweler’s art at its best, they were captured on the pages of Vogue and worn by movie stars such as Mary Pickford. It is exceedingly rare to find an intact tie-necklace and the example offered here is only the second one of its kind to come to auction in the recent times.

⋑ Irrevocable Bids

□ Reserves

Unless indicated by a box (□), all lots included in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential hammer price established between Sotheby’s and the seller and below which a lot will not be sold. The reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low estimate for the lot. If any lots included in a sale are offered without a reserve, these lots are indicated by a box (□). If every lot included in a sale is offered without a reserve, a Special Notice will be included to this effect and the box symbol will not be used for each lot.

○ Guaranteed Property

The seller of lots with this symbol has been guaranteed a minimum price from one auction or a series of auctions. This guarantee may be provided by Sotheby’s or jointly by Sotheby’s and a third party. Sotheby’s and any third parties providing a guarantee jointly with Sotheby’s benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. A third party providing a guarantee jointly with Sotheby’s may provide an irrevocable bid, or otherwise bid, on the guaranteed property. If the Guaranteed Property symbol for a lot is not included in the printed or pdf auction catalogue (where applicable), then Sotheby’s will notify bidders that there is a guarantee on the lot by one or more of the following means: the lot’s specific webpage will be updated to include the guaranteed property symbol, a notice will be added to the Sotheby’s webpage for the auction, or a pre-sale or pre-lot announcement will be made indicating that there is a guarantee on the lot. If every lot in a sale is guaranteed, a Special Notice will be included to this effect and this symbol will not be used for each lot.

Lots with this symbol indicate that a party has provided Sotheby’s with an irrevocable bid on the lot that will be executed during the sale at a value that ensures that the lot will sell. The irrevocable bidder, who may bid in excess of the irrevocable bid, may be compensated for providing the irrevocable bid by receiving a contingent fee, a fixed fee or both if not the successful bidder. From time to time, a Sotheby’s shareholder may be an irrevocable bidder. From time to time, Sotheby’s may enter into irrevocable bid agreements that cover multiple lots. In such instances, the compensation Sotheby’s will pay the irrevocable bidder is allocated to the lots for which the irrevocable bidder is not the successful purchaser. Under such circumstances, the total compensation to the irrevocable bidder will not exceed the total buyer’s premium and other amounts paid to Sotheby’s in respect of any lots for which the irrevocable bidder is not the successful bidder. If the irrevocable bid is not secured until after the auction catalogue is printed or any pdf auction catalogue is finalised (where applicable), Sotheby’s will notify bidders that there is an irrevocable bid on the lot by one or more of the following means: the lot’s specific webpage will be updated to include the irrevocable bid symbol, a notice will be added to the Sotheby’s webpage for the auction, or a pre-sale or pre-lot announcement will be made indicating that there is an irrevocable bid on the lot. From time to time, Sotheby’s or any affiliated company may provide the irrevocable bidder with financing related to the irrevocable bid. In addition, from time to time, an irrevocable bidder may have knowledge of the amount of a guarantee. If the irrevocable bidder is advising anyone with respect to the lot, Sotheby’s requires the irrevocable bidder to disclose his or her financial interest in the lot. If an agent is advising you or bidding on your behalf with respect to a lot identified as being subject to an irrevocable bid, you should request that the agent disclose whether or not he or she has a financial interest in the lot.

⊻ Interested Parties

Lots with this symbol indicate that parties with a direct or indirect interest in the lot may be bidding on the lot, including (i) the beneficiary of an estate selling the lot, or (ii) the joint owner of a lot. If the interested party is the successful bidder, they will be required to pay the full buyer’s premium and overhead premium (if applicable). In certain instances, interested parties may have knowledge of the reserve. In the event the interested party’s possible participation in the sale is not known until after the printing or creation of a pdf auction catalogue, then Sotheby’s will notify bidders that an interested party may bid on the lot by one or more of the following means: the lot’s specific webpage will be updated to include the interested parties symbol, a notice will be added to the Sotheby’s webpage for the auction, or a pre-sale or pre-lot announcement will be made indicating that an interested party may bid on the lot.

⊕ Property Subject to the Artist’s Resale Right

Purchase of lots marked with this symbol (⊕) will be subject to payment of the Artist’s Resale Right, at a percentage of the hammer price calculated as follows if the hammer price is equal to or greater than 750 Euros:

◉ Restricted Materials

Lots with this symbol have been identified at the time of cataloguing as containing organic material which may be subject to restrictions regarding import or export. The information is made available for the convenience of buyers and the absence of the symbol is not a warranty that there are no restrictions regarding import or export of the lot. Please also refer to the section on Endangered Species in this Guide and the Conditions of Business for Buyers. A buyer’s inability to export or import any lots with this symbol cannot justify a delay in payment or a sale’s cancellation.

∏ Monumental

Lots with this symbol may, in our opinion, require special handling or shipping services due to size or other physical considerations. Buyers are advised to inspect the lot and to contact Sotheby’s prior to the sale to discuss any specific shipping requirements.

✧ Premium Lot

In order to bid on “Premium Lots” ( in print catalogue or ✧ in the lot’s specific webpage) you will be requested to complete a Premium Lot pre-registration application. You must arrange for Sotheby’s to receive your pre-registration application at least three working days before the sale. Please bear in mind that we are unable to obtain financial references over weekends or public holidays. Sotheby’s decision whether to accept any pre-registration application shall be final. If your application is accepted, you will be provided with a special paddle number. If all lots in the catalogue are “Premium Lots”, a Special Notice will be included to this effect and this symbol will not be used.

Cryptocurrency Payments

Sotheby’s will accept cryptocurrency as payment for lots with this symbol, within the parameters specified in the Conditions of Business for Buyers applicable to the sale and only on the terms and conditions set out therein as of the date of the sale. Please review those terms and conditions if you are interested in paying in cryptocurrency, and contact Post Sale Services for more information.
