A stunning piece of jewelry once owned by fashion legend Diana Vreeland has found a new home. The Suzanne Belperron-designed cuff, dating back to 1935, was recently acquired by Siegelson, a renowned Manhattan jeweler specializing in estate and collectible pieces.
The cuff is a masterpiece of modernist design. Crafted in platinum and silver, it features a series of diamond-set triangles surrounding a raised rock crystal centerpiece adorned with diamonds. The geometric precision of the piece reflects the cubist and futurist influences that shaped early 20th-century art. According to Siegelson, the interplay of light, shadow, and shimmer creates a dynamic effect, showcasing Belperron’s innovative vision.
Suzanne Belperron was a trailblazer in the world of jewelry design. Unlike her peers, she rejected flashy displays of wealth, opting instead for sculptural forms, unconventional materials, and an architectural approach that blurred the line between jewelry and art. She famously refused to sign her pieces, declaring, “My style is my signature.”
Belperron’s work resonated with avant-garde tastemakers like Diana Vreeland, the influential fashion editor who transformed Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue and later led the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Vreeland, known for her bold style, was photographed wearing the cuff at New York’s iconic El Morocco nightclub in 1938.
For Vreeland, fashion and jewelry were more than mere accessories—they were tools for self-expression and transformation. The Belperron cuff, with its striking design and artistic flair, perfectly embodied her fearless approach to personal style.
For Siegelson, acquiring this cuff is more than a business transaction; it’s a celebration of history and legacy. The piece represents the creative spirit of two visionary women—Belperron and Vreeland—who left an indelible mark on the worlds of art and fashion. To wear the cuff is to carry forward their enduring influence.
This acquisition underscores the timeless appeal of Suzanne Belperron’s designs and the lasting impact of Diana Vreeland’s iconic style.
