By Cathleen 1 McCarthy 7 2 6 5 4 3 Photographs by Gabriella Imperatori-Penn Styled by Michele Faro Edited by David Masello Produced by Heather Bracher Severs O C TO B E R 2 0 0 8 00 ASSEMBLING WHAT MIGHT BE CONSIDERED THE ULTIMATE JEWELRY COLLECTION is not so unlike collecting paintings, ceramics or wine. You seek out the best examples of a partic- ular category, whether it’s Deco-era Cartier or contemporary studio jewelry. But as opposed to 3 other fine collectibles, you can wear your prized pieces, have them function as objects that en- hance you. When chosen confidently, with an eye 1 for timeless design, jewelry can become the most powerful accessory in your wardrobe, an indeli- ble stamp of your personal taste. “The key to creating the ultimate jewelry col- lection is to find designs that are unique but that can stand up to changing fashions,” says Russell Zelenetz, co-owner of Stephen Russell in New York City. “You don’t want jewelry to be so high- fashion that it’s out of style next year. At the same time, you don’t want it to be staid.” 2 The Duchess of Windsor was famous for her jewels, most of which were commissioned by the 4 Duke, a noted jewelry connoisseur. The Wind- sors could afford the most opulent jewelry in the world yet gravitated to decidedly tasteful, chic pieces by designers such as Suzanne Belperron, who often worked with semiprecious stones like agate or chalcedony. Seventy years later, Bel- perron’s creations are among the most sought- after anywhere. “If your jewelry is striking and well-coordinated, you don’t reason you can’t have both—focus on what attracts you, have to wear the most beautiful clothing in the world,” says advises the New York dealer and collector Lee Siegelson.

  • Hablar De Piedras. Breviario Sobre Suzanne Belperron
    Hablar de piedras. Breviario sobre Suzanne Belperron. Carolina Toledo “ ...En esta visión un tanto alucinada que anima lo inerte y va más allá de lo percibido a veces me ha parecido captar en directo uno de los nacimientos posibles de la poesía.” Roger Caillois, sobre Piedras de Chinas . 2 Sussane Belperron (1900-1983) nació en Saint-Claude, un pequeño pueblo de Francia en la pintoresca Besançon , de tradición lapidaria y ciudad natal de la industria de la relojería, en el seno de una familia de clase media. Los ancestros de Belperron (abuelos paternos y maternos) se dedicaban precisamente al negocio lapidario y de relojería y ella, igualmente, mostró interés y aptitudes desde temprana edad para la profesión familiar, lo que la llevó a matricularse en la escuela municipal de Bellas Artes de Besançon . Fue una alumna distinguida y en 1918 ganó el primer lugar en la competencia anual de Artes Decorativas de su escuela, lo cual le dio difusión a su trabajo en la industria. Al poco tiempo se mudó a París en una jugada atrevida: dejó su ciudad natal sin contar con influencias de ningún tipo o una posición económica sobresaliente —y no hay que dejar de lado lo intrépido que significaba querer incursionar en una industria que aún en la mitad del siglo XX era mayoritariamente dominada por hombres en lo creativo y en el proceso de producción 1—. Sin embargo, llevó consigo lo más importante: su talento y todo su conocimiento, que hasta ese momento no había rebasado la barrera de lo teórico (Corbett and Landrigan 36).
