The design is sculptural and organic with sinuous snakes in classical mid-century Studio jewelry style. A powerful statement piece with a clear artistic signature and high craftsmanship quality.

A rare collector's item for connoisseurs of French modernism and Studio jewelry.

Provenance and info: The jewelry collection of a foreign Dane, who is a retired jewelry dealer with a shop in Paris in the mid-to-late 1900s. This jewelry piece is part of 4 jewelry pieces acquired by the jewelry dealer in the 1960s in Paris and all jewelry pieces are made by the same goldsmith. Only one of the 4 jewelry pieces is stamped with a master's mark and a crab symbol. The master's mark is only partially visible and shows the head of a unicorn, which is the animal symbol in Claude Schwartz's stamp. It was and is not uncommon for goldsmiths not to stamp their creations until they start working on the next project, and this jewelry piece, also stands unmarked, but the provenance above makes it possible to attribute it to Claude Schwartz with great certainty.
