Designed by Jean Schlumberger in 1962, these enamel and gold bangles were a must-have jewel amongst the chic women. Jackie Kennedy was so fond of hers that the model was quickly nicknamed 'Jackie'. The use of a very unusual technique, the Pailloné enamel (a complicated layering of transluscent enamel and foil) allowed shimmering and joyful colours. Famous fashion editor Diana Vreeland wrote about these bangles in her foreword of the 'Jean Schlumberger: Jewels' book: "It was really Schlum who revived enamel, a 19th Century art we hadn't seen at all in the 20th Century. His enamel is perfection. Clear, transparent sun yellows. Wonderful lacquer reds. Acid spring greens. The clear blue of the Southern sky. He likes to stab enamel with nails of gold, as if to hold it from flying back to the world of nature from which he's taken its colors."
