The celebrated French actress Jacqueline Delubac was born in 1907 in France. In the late 1920s, her youthful precociousness and talent led her to Paris, where she began her career as an actress, first on stage and later in film. In 1931, she met Sacha Guitry, a fellow actor and playwright, and four years later they married. Through the course of their marriage, Guitry gifted his wife with jewelry. These pieces, together with Delubac’s fondness for beautiful things, began a collection that she would continue to cultivate throughout her lifetime. The elegant jewelry of Jacqueline Delubac was auctioned at Christie’s Geneva in 1998 and included the present lot. These gold and diamond ear pendants embody both the chic and refined taste of the charismatic actress, as well as the timeless brilliance of Van Cleef & Arpels.
