MARCHISIO: A LAPIS LAZULI AND DIAMOND BANGLE, CIRCA 1968The hinged bangle centring a lapis lazuli baton, between single-cut diamond borders and reeded shoulders, mounted in bi-coloured 18K gold, signed Max, Italian registry mark '1TO' for Marchisio between 1944-1968, numbered, inner length approximately 17.5cmThe story of the Marchisio family in the world of jewellery begins as early as 1649, when the Marchisio name first appeared in Turin’s goldsmith industry records. Nearly two centuries later, in 1846, Felice Marchisio was born and at just 13 years of age, he started working in his older brother Antonio’s workshop to help support his family. After Italy’s capital moved from Turin to Florence, economic challenges forced Felice to move to Paris, where he learned modern processing techniques and refined his manual skills. During his time in Paris, Felice was caught up in the Siege of Paris before escaping back to Turin, bringing with him some of highly capable laboratory workers from France. Back home, he and his brother founded their own workshop, which rapidly grew into Turin’s largest goldsmith company by the 1880s, employing over 100 workers. One of their early and notable projects was the creation of a 14 kg gold jewellery box, which was presented by the City of Turin to the future Queen Margherita, wife of Umberto I of Savoy. In the early 1900s, Felice’s three sons Francesco, Napoleone and Giuseppe began contributing to the company’s success. In 1903, Felice co-founded the Turin Goldsmith’s Art School with Sir Ghirardi. His son Francesco was one of its first students. However, World War I brought hardships, forcing a reduction in the workforce and claiming the lives of two of his sons, Francesco and Giuseppe. After Felice’s death in 1926, his only remaining son Napoleone took over, but political unrest and World War II forced the factory to close. After the war, Napoleone and his son Giovanni reopened the business as “Napoleone Marchisio”, achieving immediate commercial success. In 1968, the company became Giovanni Marchisio & Co, re-establishing the brand’s prestigious reputation. Since the 1990s the company has been led by the Mattioli family, under whose guidance it maintained a strong position in the industry. In 2013, the historic Antica Ditta Marchisio was acquired by the Richemont Group, continuing production and remaining a key supplier for major international brands such as Cartier, Piaget, Buccellati and Van Cleef & Arpels.

TIFFANY & CO., DESIGNED BY ELSA PERETTI: A GOLD 'MESH SCARF' NECKLACEOf woven mesh-linking, in 18K gold, signed Peretti and T&Co., with maker's pouch and outer box, length approximately 96.2cmBorn in Florence in 1940, Elsa Peretti led a life that spanned multiple countries and disciplines. Educated in Rome and Switzerland, she left home at 21 to teach abroad, later working as an interior designer in Milan. In 1966, she moved to Barcelona, where she began modelling, eventually relocating to New York two years later. In the 1960s and ’70s, Peretti forged her way as a fashion model and joined the glitterati of the New York’s nightlife scene, often attending Studio 54. During this time, she worked with photographers such as Helmut Newton and developed lasting relationships with designers, including Giorgio di Sant’Angelo and Halston. Peretti’s early jewellery designs were featured in Halston’s runway shows, complementing his minimalist style. Halston’s influence encouraged her to focus more seriously on jewellery design, so much so he became a key figure in her life, both personally and stylistically. Renowned for her effortless style, Peretti was soon invited to design silver jewellery in Manhattan. In 1972, she opened a boutique at Bloomingdale’s within Cul de Sac, a space for emerging designers. Two years later, through a meeting arranged by Halston and fashion editor Carrie Donovan, she joined Tiffany & Co. and was offered a contract shortly thereafter. Elsa Peretti’s defining moment came in 1974 when she began working with Tiffany & Co., reintroducing sterling silver to the brand for the first time in 25 years. Inspired by Victorian silver pieces she had encountered in London’s Portobello Road, she brought a fresh, modern perspective to Tiffany’s designs. That same year, she introduced her 'Diamonds by the Yard' collection, featuring fine gold chains with bezel-set diamonds, presenting a fresh and more accessible way to wear these precious stones.Her designs were deeply influenced by personal experiences, tactile sensations, and objects around her. Wearability was central to her work, ensuring each piece was comfortable, fluid, and body-conscious. In 1975, while visiting India, Peretti discovered a metal mesh fabric that intrigued her with its movement and texture. She reached out to Samuel Beizer, Director of the Jewellery Department at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and together they sourced antique machinery originally used to make mesh for evening bags in the early 20th century. This led to the creation of Peretti’s iconic mesh pieces, including a bra that debuted on the Halston runway and the scar, that with its innovative design created a fluid, tactile quality that became a hallmark of her work. By the mid-1970s, Elsa Peretti had established herself as a defining figure in contemporary jewellery design, creating some of the most recognisable pieces of the 20th century. Among them were the Open Heart, inspired by a void in a Henry Moore sculpture; the Bean, symbolising the beginning of life; and the Bone Cuff, inspired by the Capuchin crypt in Rome and Gaudí’s forms in Barcelona. One of her most notable designs, the Snake, was inspired by a rattlesnake tail given to her by a friend from Texas, which she kept as a talisman throughout her youth. The first design featuring this motif was a necklace-belt composed of 120 graduated, fully articulated bean-shaped links, allowing fluid movement. When the belt was first showcased in Women’s Wear Daily in 1973, Peretti modelled it herself, paired with a calf-length cashmere sweater dress by Halston. Over time, the snake motif was expanded into various forms, including a belt buckle, hairband, necklace, choker, pendant, bangle, ring, and earrings. Elsa Peretti passed away in March 2021 at the age of 80 in her Spanish home, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the history of jewellery design.
