Lenfant was a master goldsmith who looked at chains as a “harmony of sounds, shapes and textures” as he wrote in his book Le livre de la chaîne. He referred to the “rustle of rolling parts, which slide against each other [like] chain bells” and said that jewels should be “in every gesture of life.” He understood chain construction as no other jeweler has and was able to create unsurpassed examples, such as this necklace. By considering the construction of chains from all the senses, Lenfant created masterpieces, as shown by this exquisite necklace, a rare and desirable addition to any collection.

Bold sculptural gold jewelry was a signature of midcentury style. The warm, malleable metal allowed the best French workmasters, Jaques Lenfant and Péry et Fils, to create texture and movement in their designs. These three important gold pieces create an unmatched visual story of light and sound when worn.

Lenfant looked at goldwork as a “harmony of sounds, shapes and textures” as he wrote in his book Le livre de la chaîne. He referred to the “rustle of rolling parts, which slide against each other [like] chain bells” and said that jewels should be “in every gesture of life.”

“Jonquil” Diamond Flower Brooch by Van Cleef & Arpels, Paris, circa 1950
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Created from an array of diamond cuts, this flower brooch is large in size and flexible enough to drape down the shoulder. The details of the jonquil, or daffodil, are highly specific, with the central crown like flower represented with a marquise diamond surrounded by round diamonds. Each surrounding leaf is shaped individually and even the bump in the step is represented beautifully.
