Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Suzanne Belperron

~ humoringthegoddess
Suzanne Belperron (1900–1983) was an influential 20th-century jewelry designer based in Paris.

She worked for the Boivin and Herz jewelry houses before the outbreak of World War II. Subsequently, she took over the Herz company, renaming it Herz-Belperron.
Belperron created distinctive, unusual jewelry using large stones and undulating forms.She pioneered the technique of setting precious stones in semiprecious materials.
In addition to adapting these motifs in a unique way, Belperron also opted for 22 karat gold, a softer karat level than commonly used, purely for its color.

She often collaborated with the client to achieve the exact right tone of the jewel.

Her designs responded to the desires of a younger generation who wanted bolder, more distinctive designs. 

Combining large, sculptural, carved semi-precious stones with diamonds and other precious gems, she created a bold, dramatic effect.

  1. I’m a big fan of amber, but not trained enough to be able to differentiate between amber, some topaz and some citrine. Regardless, those are stunning pieces.
