About the Item
Fred Paris “Collection Mouvementée” sculptural 18kt yellow gold bangle bracelet, circa 1980s, France.
A rare and sculptural masterpiece from Fred Paris’ Collection Mouvementée, this 18 karat yellow gold bangle embodies the maison’s celebrated exploration of movement, rhythm and fluidity in form. Crafted with a bold, organic silhouette, this jewel reads as both jewelry and kinetic sculpture — its voluptuous curves echoing the gentle waves and undulating lines that define the Mouvementée aesthetic.
Mouvementée — loosely translated as “charged with motion” — was a signature line for Fred Paris in the late 20th century, and examples from the collection have been featured in museum exhibitions in Paris, underscoring the design’s cultural resonance. This bangle’s liquid like profile evokes a sense of perpetual motion on the wrist, while its seamless hinge and push button clasp preserve an uninterrupted silhouette that feels modern and timeless.
Expertly polished to a high mirror finish, this statement bangle bridges the worlds of contemporary art and fine jewelry — a rare example of post war French design that appeals to both collectors and connoisseurs.
A flowing gesture in gold — where form and motion become one.

Fred Paris
Fred Paris’s fine jewelry sparkles with joyful exuberance. Although it was founded almost a century ago, the brand has long been considered a leader in modern and contemporary jewelry design. Each bold cocktail ring, elegant pair of drop earrings and glamorous necklace is imbued with a vibrant personality.
Fred Paris was the vision of master jeweler Fred Samuel. The son of a French jeweler, Samuel was born in Argentina in 1908. As a young man, he moved to Paris for an apprenticeship and opened his own jewelry shop there in 1936. Samuel was known for his casual yet sophisticated style, working with diamonds, pearls and colored gemstones to create smart jewelry for all occasions.
Some of Samuel’s most high-profile clients included Princess Grace of Monaco and the King and Queen of Nepal. The sign above his storefront on the Rue Royale initially was branded with the founder’s full name, but during the 1940s, the “Samuel” part came down. Today jewelry lovers commonly know the company as Fred, a brand operated by Fred Paris.
Samuel created his famous Force 10 bracelet collection in 1966, and it became one of the brand's signature pieces. Inspired by its creator’s love for the sea, the Force 10 bracelet features a braided steel sailing cable and a gold buckle. The simple but versatile design is endlessly customizable to go with any wardrobe.
In 1996, Fred Paris was acquired by luxury holding company LVMH (which went on to purchase Tiffany Co. and Bvlgari). Fred Samuel passed away in 2006, but Fred Paris continued his legacy in jewelry. The brand's next significant collection was the 2016 Chance Infinie line, which paid homage to the creativity and playfulness of the company's founder.
Today, Fred Paris is a key component of LVMH’s luxury ambitions. The brand has continued to enjoy significant growth since 2020, contributing to its popularity and esteem.
In 2021, Fred Paris launched the Pretty Woman collection, named for the iconic ruby and diamond heart necklace Julia Roberts wore in the 1990 film, which producers had found at the Fred Paris boutique on Rodeo Drive. The company’s artistic director is Samuel’s granddaughter, Valérie Samuel, who has also worked with Swarovski and Lalique over the years.

Exuding minimalist glamour, this vintage 14k yellow gold cuff bracelet from the 1990s makes a bold, contemporary statement. The bracelet takes the form of a substantial wide cuff that wraps regally around the wrist. With a substantial width of 0.88 inches (2.2 cm), the cuff has an undeniable presence and eye-catching appeal.
Rendered in rich 14k yellow gold, the cuff showcases the eternal beauty of the warm, buttery precious metal. The minimalist design allows the natural radiance of the gold to take center stage.
