In July 2000 at The Irish Embassy in Paris the Peter O’Brien Haute Couture collection was presented to great acclaim. Since 2014 O’Brien has worked freelance, designing womenswear collections for both the awear chain of stores and Arnotts Department Store in Dublin.

A great ambition was achieved when in 2005 O’Brien designed his first theatre costumes at The Gate Theatre Dublin’s production of Oscar Wilde’s ‘Lady Wynder-mere’s Fan’ for which he was nominated for an Irish Times Theatre Award.Since then he has designed Noel Coward’s ‘Private Lives’ Gate TheatreSomerset Maugham ‘The Constant Wife’ The Gate Theatre 2005Noel Coward “Present Laughter’ The Gate Theatre 2009George Bernard Shaw ‘Pygmalion’ The Abbey Theatre 2011 (Irish Times Theatre Award nomination for Best Costume)Emma Donoghue ‘The Talk of The Town’ Project Arts Centre 2012 ( Irish Times Theatre Award for Best Costume ) Oscar Wilde ‘A Woman Of No Importance’ The Gate Theatre 2012 (Irish Times Theatre award for best costume )Alan Ayckbourn ‘Bedroom Farce’ The Gate Theatre 2013Noel Coward ‘The Vortex’ The Gate Theatre 2014Oscar Wilde ‘An Ideal Husband’ The Gate Theatre 2014 (Irish Times The-atre Award nomination for best costume )Henrik Ibsen ‘Hedda Gabler’ The Abbey Theatre Dublin 2015Turgenev adapted by Brian Friel ‘A Month in The Country’ The Gate Theatre 2015Somerset Maugham ‘The Constant Wife’ The Gate Theatre 2016 Film Costume Design:The Price of Desire directed by Mary McGuckian. 2014

In his spare time when not being a curmudgeon or a champion procrastinator O’Brien is an obsessive book collector, a devotee of the works of Egon Schiele, Fantin Latour and Stephen Sondheim. He also loves antique jewels and can be frequently found nose to the vitrine of some jewellers like a child at a toy shop, gazing lustfully at some trembling, twinkling trinket from days gone by.

I would love to thank Claire and the kind people at Adam’s for allowing me to spend a delightful afternoon playing with their glittering trays, full of wonderful treasures, which have been carefully selected for December’s auction of jewels.I have picked out my favourite 5 pieces below. I must buy a lottery ticket as one or two of the pieces I have chosen would look splen-did on my very naked lapels.

Lot 4: This old-cut diamond pin is just gorgeous, the diamonds are wonderfully limpid and their sparkle is (in my humble opinion) often more magical than the mega watt glitter of a more modern cut. My grey flannel jacket needs this pin.

Lot 29: Even though this ring of oxidized silver is contemporary, the domed shape and diamond studding echo the modernistic designs of the great Suzanne Belperron. I think it’s gorgeous.

Lot 151: This necklace of natural pearls is very pretty but what excites me about it is the wonderful blue enamel and old-cut diamond central motif and pendant, it really could be Russian, sending out sparks from the bosom of a Czarina.....and that cir-cular pendentif detaches to become a tiny exquisite brooch.

Lot 8: A charming riviere of amethysts is so so pretty and would look just as wonderful with a cashmere sweater as it would with a little black dress: in fact I love posh jewels worn casually. Think Vita Sackville West gardening with an emerald pin to hold her ancient weed jacket closed.........now that’s style!

Lot 45: I love these Victorian turquoise earrings, to this day there is a proverb, ‘That a Turquoise given by a loving hand carries with it happiness and good fortune’; one wonders were these given as a gift of love. They are so beautifully made and the tiny rows of rose diamonds twinkle wonderfully.

Jewellery designer Seaman Schepps is the embodiment of the American Dream. Schepps was born into an immigrant family and grew up in tenements on the Lower East Side, New York. His marvellous jewellery designs took the American market by storm in the 1930’s allowing Schepps to rise through the social strata. With his pioneering designs including chunky brooches, “barberic” bracelets and “bubble” earrings, Schepps defined a new style of the American woman and his jewellery featured on the covers of top fashion publications such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Look. Schepps counted Katherine Hepburn, Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, the Duchess of Windsor, Andy Warhol as well as members of the Du Pont, Mellon and Rockefeller families all among his clients. Not only did his jewellery appeal to a wide range of clientele, all flocking to his store on Madison Avenue in the 30s, 40s and 50s, he was also highly influential amongst his contemporaries. In fact, even 50 years after his death, he continues to inspire modern jewellers.

Doris Duke liked jewellery with colour, so she was drawn to Schepps’s pieces, such as these jewels with sapphires accented with diamonds, Each part of the suite was purchased at a different time; The brooch in 1941, the bracelet in 1937, and the earrings in 1955.

The result is her creation of jewellery in limited editions or single pieces, which she produces along with the family team in the workshop in Valenza founded by little Mar-gherita’s grandfather.

Diamonds of all colours, emeralds, sapphires and rubies, beryls and rubellites are sought all over the world and selected for their quality and their distinctive cut. They are the undisputed stars of Emanuela Burgener’s creations.

Produced entirely in the designer’s Valenza workshop, the high-quality craftsmanship of Margherita Burgener jewellery makes it outstanding in its field. A blend of traditional techniques and modern technology and materials as titanium, which encourage innova-tion and experimentation with volumes and shades of colour.

The uniqueness and beauty of Margherita Burgener jewellery have made the brand name well known in the most famous salerooms and listed between the best jewelry designers.Her exclusive or limited edition pieces enchant their wearers and excite the admiration of those who see them.

Kieselstein-Cord is an international award winning luxury brand founded by American designer and artist Barry Kieselstein-Cord in 1972. His mission was to create a luxury company, based on the precedence of traditional French ate-liers combined with a unique, contemporary vision. It was a vision that would take highly original and exquisitely handmade products and distribute them through America’s leading retailers of the time, Saks Fifth Avenue, Henri Bendel and Bonwit Teller. His products include fine jewellery, sterling silver jewellery along with leather goods such as handbags and home furnishings.

This newfound freedom allowed for greater variety and experimentation of production and it was at this time that the lavish use of gold and semi-precious stones emerged in Kieselstein-Cord’s work. The success of these products paved the way for the renowned Pompeii and Borgia collections. His rising fame and reputation amongst the fashion elite of New York allowed him to reach a wider and more international audience.

A TWENTY-TWO CARAT GOLD NECKLACE, BY JEAN MAHIE, CIRCA 1970

Of “Cadene” design, set with twenty-two interlocking links of hammered gold, mounted in 22K gold, with maker’s mark for Jean Mahie, French assay marks, length 43cm, approximately 131g total, with a book “Les créations de Jean Mahie” signed and inscribed by the artist € 3,700 - 4,300

The genius behind the Jean Mahie brand lies with its founders Jacline Mazard and her father-in-law Jean-Marie Mazard. Originally a painter, Jacline also learned some metal work techniques at a young age. Her father-in-law Jean Mazard, an established business man, immediately rec-ognised her artistic talent and saw an opportunity to harness these talents and set up a jewellery line.

Jacline has been quoted as saying “The inspiration for all the pieces comes from everyday life” - an interesting insight considering the apparent influences from Roman, Greek and Phoenician art that can be seen in the primitive gold figures often included in Jean Mahie pieces. Jacline grew up in Tunisia surrounded by Ancient Roman ruins; the influence of which is undeniable and creates an interesting juxtaposition of the Ancient and the Modern or “everyday”.

Just as Jacline and Jean-Marie refused any professional training from jewellery schools, their bold designs reject any modern techniques. Each piece is sculpted and hammered out by hand. Although this is a painstaking process, the result is beautifully crafted one-of-a-kind pieces.

Van Cleef & Arpels, and Cartier, took a keen interest in Jean Mahie jewellery in its early stages and displayed their jewellery in their windows in Paris, however these relationships disintegrated when the larger brands expressed a desire to take over Jean Mahie and mass produce their pieces.

Years later Stanley Marcus, president and CEO of Neiman Marcus from 1950-1975 saw someone, at a dinner party he was attending in New York, wearing Jean Mahie jewellery and contacted the creators. Today Neiman Marcus are the sole retailers of Jean Mahie and they alone stock 1,000-1,500 Mahie pieces at a given time, which is incredible given that no two pieces are the same.

Since the creation of Jean Mahie in 1969, Jacline and Mazard have been crystal clear in their vision for their jewellery, emphasising the impor-tance of craftsmanship and uniqueness - qualities which have driven Jean Mahie to the heights of success. The craftsmanship and care that goes into each pieces is akin to the creative process of a work of art. Each piece is bold, defies trends and demands attention. There is no wonder why this jewellery is so highly coveted all around the world.

In the early 19th Century in Britain, serpent jewellery was elevated to new heights when Prince Albert presented Queen Victoria with the first ever engagement ring as a symbol of his eternal love. The Royal engagement launched the popularity of the serpent as the dominant motif on rings, brooches and necklaces in the 1840s.
