SIEGELSON @ An Extraordinary Jewelry Collection

SIEGELSON has been a family-owned business since 1920. It is recognized by museum curators, magazine editors, jewelry historians, auction houses and jewelry maisons as a leading source and authority on rare jewelry, gemstones and objects of art. As the third generation gem and jewelry business, SIEGELSON is renowned for discriminating taste and acquiring extraordinarily beautiful creations for their unique inventory.

Returning to Fine Art Asia for the 2^ndyear, SIEGELSON will feature a series of rare and antique jewelry including an Art Deco Moghul emerald, sapphire and diamond pendant necklace by Cartier, Parisin 1925. Created in the year of the important Art Deco exposition in Paris, this is one of the most important examples of Cartier jewelry from the 1920s. Also formerly the property of The Duchess of Windsor is an art moderne blue chalcedony, sapphire, and diamond suite of jewelry designed by Suzanne Belperronin 1935. This set, in The Duchess of Windsor’s favorite shade of blue, was the famous record-setting 1987 auction of the duchess’s jewels. SIEGELSON deals exclusively with the best examples in five specialty areas: fine gemstones and diamonds, antique and estate jewelry, objects of art, contemporary designers, and jewelry by SIEGELSON. In each category, SIEGELSON follows strict aesthetic guidelines based on accumulated knowledge and experience as well as research in the company’s extensive library.

As a jewelry connoisseur, Lee Siegelson, President of SIEGELSON, his professionalism is highly recommended by The Robb Report, “Known for his collection of rarefied estate jewelry, Lee Siegelson of SIEGELSON is not concerned with a jewel’s provenance, signature, or commercial appeal; he selects pieces solely for their beauty and rarity. His collection ranges from 19th-century jewelry to pieces from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco eras to contemporary designs from Daniel Brush and Michelle Ong. When he acquires extraordinary gems, he designs his own pieces around them to embody the design aesthetic and craftsmanship of an earlier era.” SIEGELSON contributes to many jewelry and decorative arts books by supplying authors with illustrations. In the past five years Siegelson has been a lender to fifteen museum exhibitions such as the Egyptian-inspired scarab buckle was a keynote jewel selected for the exhibition, Cartier and America, held at the legion of honor, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, while Van Cleef & Arpels selected a pictorial diamond and gem-set pendant brooch for their retrospective, The Spirit of Beauty at the Mori Arts Center in Tokyo.
