FRANCINE’S REVIEW:

A unique pendant necklace by the atelier Jean & Pierre Bellin depicting a panther with a diamond-paved head, its eyes set with two emeralds and a ruby representing the tongue. The setting is in 18-carat yellow gold with onyx. The tail and the bail are also paved with diamonds. In total, this necklace is estimated to hold approximately 1.95 carats of diamonds.

The atelier Jean & Pierre Bellin, founded in the early 20th century in Paris, distinguished itself through the creation of artistic and refined jewelry. Taken over in 1962 by the brothers Jean and Pierre Bellin, the atelier moved to 62 rue La Fayette, where their sister Pierrette joined them, followed by Philippe, representative of the next generation. Specializing in the making of unique pieces, they worked both for their own account and for certain Maisons of the Place Vendome.

Their distinctive style marries yellow gold with materials such as coral, ebony or onyx, often enhanced with diamonds.The creations of the 1970s are characterized by bold, sculptural shapes, reflecting the vibrant aesthetic of that era. These highly prized pieces have become emblematic of French boutique jewelry and are particularly sought after in international collections
