1907
At the famous goldsmith town of Pforzheim in Germany, Heinrich Henkel and his brother-in-law, Florentin Grosse, established Süddeutsche Gold-und Harrbijouterie-Fabrik Heinrich Henkel und Co (South-German Gold and Hair Jeweller) specialized in producing jewelry and watch chain made of woven and plaited hair.
1920s
Grosse introduced state-of-the-art modernist design and manufactured avant-garde costume jewelry that combined art and technology. This new design-driven costume jewelry received immense critical acclaim, drawing attention and interest from major houses, such as Lanvin and Chanel.

Butterfly Necklace 0.80 Karat White Diamond 18 Karat Yellow Gold Aquamarine Drop
Located in Rome, IT
Rossella Ugolini Design Collection an enchanting pendant necklace handcrafted in 18 karats Yellow Gold chain with a light blue Aquamarine Drop. The pendent is a Butterfly made in 18 karats yellow gold embellished with white diamonds wings.
Fly away. The butterfly catches the eye, with its lightness and sparkling diamonds.
With its antennas alert and shining with precious dew, the butterfly handmade in 18K yellow gold with wings embellished with white diamonds, stands out on the one-of-a-kind necklace, rests on the necklace with an Aquamarine bead and spreads its wings dressed in gold and diamonds.
The butterfly returns to be the protagonist among garments, accessories and jewels.
Free flying when the Modern butterfly spreads its diamond wings on the 18K Yellow Gold necklace. It is yet another sign offered by nature that spares no inspiration in terms of creativity.
The infinite color combinations and symmetrical designs of her livery have also been the object of attention of the great jewelers - from Van Cleef & Arpels to Chopard - who are committed to translating every detail with precision and mastery. It is therefore not surprising that every spring the desire to wear butterflies is reborn to feel the pleasure of freedom.
The butterfly is an ornament that symbolizes the fragility that adorns the person and that aesthetically essential dignity to grace. The natural metamorphosis of the caterpillar that becomes a chrysalis and then a butterfly concretely represents that rebirth that follows the abandonment of the material shell in pagan beliefs, that exit of the soul from the body in the Greco-Roman tradition and the metaphor of resurrection in Christian iconography . And it is thanks to this 'sublime' spirit that the étoile of the meadows managed to seduce the imagination of many artists and to know the true glory at the beginning of the 20th century, when it became queen of the ornamental world of Art Nouveau, the current that from Japonism he rediscovered the beauty and decorative elegance of organic forms.
Always pinned to the rever of suits and coats in the 50s and 60s, today the jewel butterfly is celebrated in this pendant necklace as the perfect embodiment of the desire for freedom.
Perhaps because its beauty is one of nature's masterpieces, it has tickled the imagination of many artists.

A single row jewelled necklace and earrings, att. F. Winter for C Dior, 1950s
Located in Greyabbey, County Down
A charming 'riviere' necklace and matching earrings, attributed and thought to be designed by Francis Winter for Christian Dior, in the early 1950s. Constructed of individual deep 'pools of faceted light', most clear, though some have a hand tinted/painted hue, this is a very simple but striking design, very much on the French style and the glorious style of the early designs of the House of Dior.
Francis Winter was a celebrated jeweller who was in charge of all jewellery creation and production, at the House of Dior from its beginings and through into the 1950s. Made of beautifully faceted and deep, some softly tinted, pools of paste, each placed in an antiqued decorative setting. The necklace and earrings has an overall 18th century feel to it, expressing Dior's reminiscence of 18th century France, a looking back to more romantic and opulent times. A very classic simple design, whose every stone softly glitters and sparkles.
Christian Dior was born into a wealthy family in 1905, being raised in the Normandy seaside town of Granville. Working first for Robert Piguet...
