ROGER Jean Pierre, Magnificent old brooch, vintage from the 50s

About the Item

Magnificent old BROOCH, vintage 50's, in silver metal, glass rhinestones, by Haute Couture designer ROGER Jean Pierre, dimensions 5 x 5 cm, weight 22 g, good condition. The jeweler and designer, famous French parurier ROGER Jean Pierre has been designing for Schiaparelli jewelry since he was 20 years old. He has also worked for Balenciaga, Dior, Balmain and Madame Gres, among others. He created some of the most extraordinary jewelry for Balenciaga and forged a very close relationship with Christian Dior, creating many important pieces for the House. In 1930-1960, his name was known throughout France. From 1947 to 1958, he ran the large jewelery company Maison Francis Winter. Winter designs around 2,500 jewels a year for the biggest French fashion houses. In 1960, Roger Jean Pierre opened his own studio in Paris. He was inspired by the decorations of the 18th century. Costume jewelry by this master was never marked, usually only paper tags were worn on the jewelry. After 13 years, Jean Pierre decides to broaden his field of activity and opens a workshop. And in 1962, Jean-Pierre made a tiara for Yves Saint Laurent, which was featured on the October cover of Vogue. But already in 1979, for unknown reasons, he was forced to close his business. FR: Magnifique BROCHE ancienne, vintage des années 50's, en métal argenté, strass en verre, par créateur Haute Couture ROGER Jean Pierre, dimensions 5 x 5 cm, poids 22 g, bon état. Le joaillier et designer, célèbre parurier français ROGER Jean Pierre dessine pour les bijoux de Schiaparelli depuis l'âge de 20 ans. Il a travaillé également pour Balenciaga, Dior, Balmain et Madame Gres, entre autres. Il a créé certains des bijoux les plus extraordinaires pour Balenciaga et a noué une relation très étroite avec Christian Dior, créant de nombreuses pièces importantes pour la Maison. En 1930-1960, son nom était connu dans toute la France. De 1947 à 1958, il dirige la grande entreprise de joaillerie Maison Francis Winter. Winter conçoit environ 2 500 bijoux par an pour les plus grandes maisons de couture françaises. En 1960, Roger Jean Pierre ouvre son propre atelier à Paris. Il s'est inspiré des décors du XVIIIe siècle. Les bijoux fantaisie de ce maître n'étaient jamais marqués, généralement seules des étiquettes en papier étaient portées sur les bijoux. Au bout de 13 ans, Jean Pierre décide d'élargir son champ d'activité et ouvre un atelier. Et en 1962, Jean-Pierre a fait un diadème pour Yves Saint Laurent, qui a été présenté sur la couverture d'octobre de Vogue. Mais déjà en 1979, pour des raisons inconnues, il a été contraint de fermer son entreprise.

  • Louis ROUSSELET, Brooch in glass beads, FRANCE 1940, vintage
    By Louis Rousselet
    Located in SAINT-CLOUD, FR
    Sublime old BROOCH, 40s vintage, by famous French designer LOUIS ROUSSELET and Gripoix glass, length 8cm, width 5.5cm, good condition. A child of Ménilmontant and the popular suburbs of Paris, Louis Rousselet was born in 1892 and shared his first class benches with Maurice Chevalier, before becoming an apprentice in a pearl factory at the age of 12. Although very young, his artistic talent and strong personality made him quickly noticed. In 1920, he founded his own workshops to which he gave his name and whose specialty was imitation enamel and pearl glass beads. Coco Chanel, who then wanted to promote costume jewellery, became one of the house's first clients. Then Dior, Lanvin, Schiaparelli, Jacques Fath, Balenciaga, Balmain… For more than 60 years, all the great couturiers came to get their supplies from Rousselet, who imagined for them adornments implementing a unique know-how. The workshops employed up to 800 people. Many music hall and cinema personalities appear in the press covered with Rousselet pearls, such as Ginger Rogers during a stocking organized by Jacques Fath. Mistinguett is the face of the house and regularly strikes a pose in the workshops, surrounded by the workers and the parurier. Between 1920 and until the mid-1960s Louis Rousselet would be one of the most important Parisian fashion designers. FR: Sublime BROCHE ancienne, vintage des années 40s, par fameux parurier français LOUIS ROUSSELET et verre Gripoix, longueur 8 cm, largeur 5,5 cm, bon état général. Enfant de Ménilmontant et des faubourgs populaires de Paris, Louis Rousselet naît en 1892 et partage ses premiers bancs de classe avec Maurice Chevalier, avant de devenir apprenti dans une fabrique de perles à l’âge de 12 ans. Bien que très jeune, son talent artistique et sa forte personnalité le font rapidement remarquer. En 1920, il fonde ses propres ateliers auxquels il donne son nom et dont la spécialité est l’émail d’imitation et la perle de verre nacrée. Coco Chanel, qui souhaite alors faire la promotion du bijou fantaisie, devient l’une des premières clientes de la maison. Puis Dior, Lanvin, Schiaparelli, Jacques Fath, Balenciaga, Balmain… Pendant plus de 60 ans, tous les grands couturiers...

    By Karl Lagerfeld
    Located in SAINT-CLOUD, FR
    Magnificent large BROOCH, vintage, by Karl LAGERFELD, signed, diameter 5.7 cm, weight 37 g, very good state. Born in Hamburg, Karl Lagerfeld settled in Paris in 1954. His design of a coat won him the International Wool Secretariat and allowed him to work for the famous couturier Pierre Balmain. He then became the designer for Jean Patou. Because of his ability to revive and reimagine brands that had stagnated, in 1984 Lagerfeld was given the reins of Chanel. Lagerfeld's collections for Chanel, in particular, testify to his talent for synthesizing the old and the new. From Watteau (spring-summer 1985 couture) and Serge Roche (spring-summer 1990 ready-to-wear) to hip-hop fly girls (fall-winter 1991 ready-to-wear), surfers (ready-to-wear Spring-Summer 2003) and Ancient Egypt (Pre-Fall 2019), Lagerfeld drew inspiration from each season to redesign Chanel signatures.
