An up-close look at Belperron’s Bibendum Ring: T

An up-close look at Belperron’s Bibendum Ring: The “Bibendum" ring, one of Suzanne Belperron’s most popular designs, represents the cross-pollination of decorative arts in 1920s and 30s Paris. Composed as a stack of concentric circles in rounded gadrooned steps, it replicates the contours of the Michelin Man, also known as Bibendum, the French tire company’s mascot since 1898. Since her childhood, Suzanne had been intrigued by the Michelin Man’s concentric lines, experimenting with similar concentric treatments in her ring designs. Throughout her early career at Boivin and then B. Herz, she created the escalier motif, a series of concentric steps radiating from a central gemstone. She wasn’t alone in her fascination with the Bibendum Man. Irish architect and furniture designer, Eileen Gray, crafted an eponymous chair consisting of two tubular semi-circles. Similarly, the coutouriere Alex Grés replicated the soft curves of the Bibendum Man in her iconic and stylized gowns. Madame Belperron reproduced the design several times throughout her career, so favoring the motif that the Bibendum ring made its way into her personal jewelry collection in moonstone and silver. In 2015, the Bibendum ring was reintroduced for the launch of the Belperron Salon on 5th Avenue, modeled after the designer’s own ring and reproduced in rainbow moonstone and 18k white gold.

An up-close look at Belperron’s Serti Couteau: M

An up-close look at Belperron’s Serti Couteau: Madame Belperron often favored a seemingly casual mounting of gems. Stones of varying sizes and shapes were assembled to look as if they had been tossed at random onto the metal, then set by chance. Because the stones were never uniform and therefore difficult to set side-by-side, Désiré L’hospital, one of Darde’s finest workers, conceived a novel setting in which each stone appeared to be contained within a single cell-like compartment, scored as if with the sharp blade of a knife. The “serti couteau” resembled the tracery of an irregular honeycomb. The technique made it possible to nestle stones of various carat weights and colors next to one another in cohesive harmony. The serti couteau approach was unapologetically practical in its structure but so beautifully novel that it quickly became an integral part of Madame Belperron’s designs. Today, Belperron continues the tradition of the serti couteau technique, a look as modern today as when it was first introduced.

An up-close look at Belperron’s Wave Collection:

An up-close look at Belperron’s Wave Collection: In 1918 as a young decorative arts student in the French countryside, Suzanne was already experimenting with meandering vines and leaves, buried within larger decorative patterns. A quarter of a century later, and now one of the world’s most influential jewelry designers, Madame Belperron returned to the wave motif of her youth. In the aftermath of WWII, she drew on her earliest instincts, distilling her designs to the most elemental forms. She adapted the wave motif into cuffs, necklaces, rings and earclips, available today in a range of materials and designs. The collection is as modern today as when the motif was first introduced.

The bold yet elegant design of the Grappe Earclips

The bold yet elegant design of the Grappe Earclips— Suzanne’s painterly approach led her to create “bunch of grapes” earclips made of bezel-set amethysts. The design graced Vogue’s cover in 1937 with an illustration of Belperron’s “grape cluster of deep and light amethysts growing on gold.”
