Siegelson, New York’s most respected gallery of rare and collectible jewels announces plans for its first-ever presentation at TEFAF #maastricht (Stand 146) taking place from March 16–24, 2019 in #maastricht, Netherlands.

A #siegelson will present the unparalleled Nizam Diamond, an exquisite tear-shaped Golconda diamond of more than 120 carats. This famed and historic stone is named after the last monarch of Hyderbad, who owned the jewel. The rare treasure will be set in an exquisite Moghul-inspired necklace of emeralds and rubies by #siegelson. #siegelson is know for major and rare period pieces by Belperron, Cartier, and Fulco, and their selection by these masters will not disappoint fair-goers.

Siegelson will present the works of two celebrated contemporary jewelry designers: Emmanuel Tarpin (b. 1992), a rising talent based in Paris, who was recently named the winner of this year’s prestigious #fashion Group International Rising Star Award for Jewelry; and Daniel Brush (b. 1947), the New York-based artist working in painting, sculpture, and jewelry. Anchoring Siegelson’s presentation at TEFAF will be a brand new series of handmade, unique aluminum earrings by the visionary Brush, titled AL13. #siegelson recently announced representation of the jewelry of Daniel Brush, marking the first time that the artist will work with a gallery for his hand- sculpted jewelry. The AL13 series features bombe, spherical, and hexagonal aluminum earrings created by hand from industrial rods and sheets of aluminum, which are transformed and set with natural-colored stones such as Burmese rubies and Colombian emeralds. Each unique earring pair takes between 80 and 150 hours to complete.

Siegelson will also offer one-of-a-kind creations by French jewelry designer Emmanuel Tarpin, who at only 26 years old, has established himself as a noteworthy emerging talent in contemporary jewelry design, drawing inspiration from nature to create remarkable sculptural pieces. On offer at TEFAF will be a new matte gold ring by Tarpin featuring a flower motif and central cluster of diamonds and yellow sapphires. #siegelson will also present a pair of striking new earrings by Tarpin in a cascading oval shape and featuring diamonds, rubies, and pink sapphires.

Other highlights of the gallery’s presentation will include an art moderne diamond bracelet by Cartier, circa 1930; a suite of amethyst, yellow sapphire and citrine pieces by Suzanne Belperron, Paris, circa 1951; an art moderne ruby and diamond bib necklace also by Belperron, Paris, circa 1945; and the renowned “Cole Porter Necklace” designed by Fulco, Duke of Verduro for Paul Flato, New York, circa 1935.

Said Lee #siegelson: “We are thrilled to be exhibiting for the first-time at TEFAF, which brings together a wide-range of collectors, who as true connoisseurs, have interests across multiple collecting categories. The intersection of classical, modern and contemporary artworks, and important design, is the perfect context to exhibit our exceptional examples in the field of modern and contemporary jewelry design. We look forward to showcasing our celebrated period pieces by the most important jewelry designers of the early- and mid-20th century, and also our two contemporary artists for whom we will present some of their best works.”
