About the Item

It was carefully crafted in solid 18 karats yellow gold with high polished finish. Embellished with an almond fluted carving of natural salmon coral and a free form stripe carved from black onyx. Accented with two curved lines, set with a French pave of 48 round brilliants cuts diamonds, 1.01 Carats, F/G color, VS-2 clarity. Have a total weight of 18.6 Grams and the actual size is 6, sizable. The top view measures are 31 mm by 21 mm (1.22 x 0.83 Inches). Stamped, with French hallmarks; the eagle's head for the assay and guaranty of the gold and the maker's maitre cartouche AV associated to Andre Vassort. André Vassort, Little is known about this French jeweler, which is so often the case with the craftsmen and workshops behind the famous Maisons of the Place Vendôme. All around Paris, tucked away in discreet buildings, skilled and highly creative master craftsmen work anonymously for their high profile clients. One such building was 34 Rue Sainte Anne, where André Vassort set up his workshop, Atelier Vassort, registering his business and maker’s mark in December 1955. He quickly became one of the most recognized and sought after manufacturers of high quality French jewelry in the mid 20th Century. Van Cleef Arpels, Boucheron and Mauboussin, amongst others, trusted him not only with creating their own fine jewels but also with special commissions for clients. Frequently these clients would include Royalty of both the West and East as well as Hollywood legends. A particular creation of note is the spectacular emerald, ruby, pearl and diamond crown made on behalf of Van Cleef Arpels for the coronation of Empress Farah of Iran. He specialized in working with gold and drawing out warmth, movement and texture from the metal but also worked in platinum and across the board in terms of gemstones. His workshop grew to be one of the largest in Paris and alongside his loyal and experienced craftsmen he also employed apprentices. One of these recalls starting at the bench at just 17 years old and spending years learning from experts ‘in the pure artistic tradition’. Much of his jewelry would never have been marked so will remain ‘unknown’ to all except those who made it. However sometimes his mark appears alongside the signature of one of his famous client’s and occasionally it is seen on its own. When Louis Gérard left Van Cleef Arpels to start his own company M. Gérard in 1968, he chose to use his former employer’s workshop to create his jewelry. Over the next twenty years, Andre Vassort would produce some spectacular jewels for Gérard whose pieces are often noted for their superb manufacture. The Atelier closed in the early 1990’s but not before establishing itself as one of the most important manufacturers of French jewelry of the mid-late 20th Century. Whether you see it on a Boucheron bracelet, a Van Cleef Arpels sautoir or a pair of Vassort ear clips, the mark of André Vassort is a mark of quality craftsmanship and fine jewelry. Take with thanks from HANCOCKS Jewelers, London. Note: The Mo. Andre Vassort atelier, was located in Paris 2, 34 rue Sainte Anne. He collaborate very closely with VCA between the 1950’s and 1980’s, the workshop operations was ceased in the 1990's. Note: This maker’s cartouche AV, is associated to the early mark for the master jeweler, maitre Andre Vassort. Note: This model was also produced by Vassort for he houses of Boucheron and Van Cleef Arpels. This ring is in perfect condition, with outstanding look. INVENTORY REF: R0000SRCE/.4471
