George Weil Artist Jewel Tourmaline Diamond Gold and Platinum Bracelet c. 1970

About the Item

A bold, one-of-a-kind baguette-cut tourmaline, diamond, 18 karat textured gold and platinum bracelet, by George Weil, c. 1970. Weil has been a sculptor, painter, netsuke carver, and jeweler. This piece features seven long slices of baguette-cut tourmalines asymmetrically arrayed alongside bright and lively diamonds on textured gold. It is signed G. Weil and stamped 18CT and PLAT. Weil rarely went to the Assay Office, so his jewelry mostly did not bear hallmarks. Weil executed sculptural jewels such as this bracelet with exceptional craftsmanship staying with traditional precious metals, gold, platinum, and precious stones. This cuff exemplifies rarity and timeless elegance and showcases the masterful artistry that made Georges Weil the artist-jeweler of choice for royalty and celebrities alike. Today, he remains a collector’s joy. A bit of history: George Weil fled to England with his family on the last plane from Antwerp in 1939 to avoid the horrors of WWII. He briefly attended St Martin's School of Art and considered himself a sculptor first and a jeweler second. Twenty-ffive years later, however, he was an acknowledged leader in modern jewelry design. Among the collectors of Weil’s jewelry were Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Sellers, England’s Queen Elizabeth, and Hollywood’s queen, Elizabeth Taylor. Using diamonds and precious stones in much the same way an artist uses colors, George Weil’s sculptural approach to jewelry became a defining aspect of the British avant-garde jewelers of the period. Weil sold his jewelry studio in 1979 and moved to Israel to devote more time to art, focusing on painting and sculpting. He became a master of the Japanese art of netsuke. And a rarity among netsuke makers, as a goldsmith, he made some netsuke in gold!
