Little bear of gold, emerald, and diamond

Brooches

Description

An 18-karat gold brooch in the form of a bear with textured fur, a cabochon-cut ruby nose, and a cabochon-cut emerald eye surrounded by diamonds set in white gold. Signed Georland.

France, circa 1960

 

Founded in Paris in 1954 by Georges Richard and Roland Bouder, Georland evolved from a fine jewelry workshop into a renowned manufacturer for prestigious jewelry houses on Place Vendôme, with international expansion to New York and later throughout Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. Under the leadership of Henry Marteau and subsequently his sons, the company expanded its operations into the Middle and Far East, creating exceptional jewelry and luxury objects for an exclusive clientele. Modernization and new purchasing strategies in the 1990s ensured strong growth. With the entry of the third generation, active in Paris and New York, Georland emerged from the shadow of anonymous production in 2011 to present collections under its own name, building on a rich tradition that includes prominent clients such as Princess Diana.

Love the owner. Very strong and wise lady. Family owned shop, and she has been working there 55 years. She seems cold at the beginning but she’s really patient and friendly, allow you to try everything but never push you to make a decision. We discussed how to change the size of my ring, she had really strong and professional opinion, just listen to her , you are in good hand. Very very nice collections and you can trust their experiences.

I visited the shop June 2022. I ended up buying a lovely 1970s emerald ring. She was able to resize it that day! If I visit Amsterdam again, I will definitely stop by this store.

Perfect view of a beautiful piece of antique and always willing to provide an explanation. Never the compulsion to buy, customer friendliness and knowledge at its best! By the way, I'm not related.
