Jean Schlumberger Pink Tourmaline and Sapphire “Étoile de Mer” Starfish Brooch
$100,000
About
This dramatically oversized gemmy starfish brooch set with pink tourmalines, sapphires, and diamonds, mounted in gold and platinum, was designed by Jean Schlumberger and dates from the mid 1940s, when Schlumberger, just arrived to New York from Paris, and opened his own luxe boutique on 57th Street. Inspired by the vivid coloration of sea stars in nature, Schlumberger set the high relief form with sumptuous pink tourmalines edged by pear-shaped blue sapphires, highlighted by diamond mêlée, all dynamically patterned by criss-crossing textured gold. Wearing this vibrantly colored and lively starfish conveys the special joy in the beauty and diversity of marine life that so animated the young artist’s talent and imagination in his innovative early years.
