364 - Duquette, gold, diamond, and peridot bracelet. 585/000 yellow and white gold. Total weight: 79.20 g. Tony Duquette (1914–1999) did not come from the tradition of classical European jewelry, but began his career as an American set designer, designer, and decorator. A pioneer of maximalism in the jewelry world, he was the first American jeweler to be honored with a solo exhibition at the Louvre in 1951. His “More is more” philosophy transformed his jewelry from simple accessories into theatrical sculptures. The “Floral Wreath Necklace” created for Wallis Simpson—which the countess wore on several occasions at evening events—is exceptionally famous. It popularized the use of yellow gold after 5:00 p.m., breaking with the rigid tradition of platinum and diamonds. https://shopseoda.substack.com/p/history-lesson-tony-duquettes. Length: 19 cm, height: 5 cm. 1970s.
