BELPERRON
Suzanne Belperron brilliantly started her career at René Boivin alongside Jeanne Boivin. From 1920 her designs appeared in the collections of the Maison. The jewels with volumes and volutes, contrary to the geometric and structured trend of Art Déco, were distinctive: her bold and imaginative aesthetic was already there. Belperron is famous for never signing her pieces, and has been quoted as stating ‘my style is my signature’.
In 1932, she joined Bernard Herz, then his son Jean in 1945, and became one of the pioneers of modern fashion and jewellery. Her clients included the Duchess of Windsor, Colette, Josephine Baker, Christian Dior and Diana Vreeland amongst many others.
