René Boivin, born in 1864, was a French goldsmith, founded his company in 1890 in Paris. When he married Jeanne Poiret, sister of the famous couturier Paul Poiret, he gained entrée to the high fashion world. His forward-thinking designs rejected the era’s delicate Art Nouveau proportions in favor of chunky jewels inspired by the Middle East and Asia. When Rene died young in 1917, his wife Jeanne took over the direction of the house of Boivin, a daring act for a woman of the time. She hired mostly female designers, most famously Suzanne Belperron, who conceived many of the company’s iconic creations. This was jewelry for a different kind of woman—strong and modern, with a mind of her own. Boivin pieces marked high fashion rather than high status (although they telegraphed that, too, to those in the know). They were sensual and generous, with texture and dimension. Citrine, aquamarine, topaz and lapis were the colors of a palette that gave life to wearable gold sculpture. Most Boivin jewels were commissioned one-of-a-kind pieces, and were almost never signed. Jeanne considered them distinctive enough to be recognized on sight. In April 1991 the company became part of the Asprey Group and still produces very fine jewelry. Provenance: A private collection in California, United States. Acquired in 2022. Literature: Rene Boivin Jeweller, François Cailles, quarter Book 1994, Pp-391 for a similar example with citrines instead pearls. Collateral: This piece is accompanied with a certificate prepared by Jean-Norbert Salit. Collateral: This brooch is presented with the designer's leather pouchette. Condition: The overall condition of this brooch is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the platinum. The gemstones are secured in the settings. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity. INVENTORY REF: P111522ATNNM/1.701
