DIAMOND BROOCH
The rectangular rose and old European-cut diamond plaque, enhanced by diamond collets, mounted in platinum
By Templier
Raymond Templier (b,1891) was one of the several talented jewelers who successfully rivaled the popular contemporary art styles during the Art Deco period. In 1919, he entered his father's buisness, Maison Templier, which had been founded by his grandfather, Charles, in 1849. In 1929, he began a thirty six year collaboration with the designer, Marcel Pecheron, creating jewelry of rigorous geometric conceptions, almost totally exempt from decorative ornamentation. In 1935, after his father retired, he took over the reins of Maison Templier.
This diamond and platinum brooch dates to the period just after he joined Maison Templier, c. 1920. A build up of rectilinear forms, superimposed upon one another, provide a dramatic geometric contrast to the field of circular diamonds. Four platinum rays lead the eye to the largest diamond, set in the middle of the center rectangle.
