About Suzanne Belperron
Suzanne Belperron, born in Saint-Claude, France, was an influential 20th-century jewellery designer based in Paris. She worked for the Boivin and Herz jewellery houses before the outbreak of World War II. Subsequently, she took over the Herz company, renaming it Herz-Belperron. She had many important clients, including royalty and people in the arts and show business on both sides of the Atlantic. Belperron won first prize in the "Decorative Art" annual competition of 1918, with a pendant-watch. This public school was created in 1773 by the Swiss painter Melchior Wirsch and the French sculptor Luc Breton. The French jewellery house Boivin, created in 1890, had lost its founder in 1917, who was a talented designer. Belperron's fame grew, and she became a major figure in the artistic world both in France and abroad.
