The French-born Jean Schlumberger was a famous 19th-century figure, an artist sensitive to fashion trends who worked for over 30 years with the American luxury company, Tiffany & Co. As a master of the use of vividly-colored enamels, Schlumberger worked like a painter, starting with a drawing that he gradually enriched with details and finished with precious stones selected from a rich palette. Lovers of jewelry created by a true master won’t want to miss the auction that Sotheby’s has organized for Nov. 20 in Geneva, where Luisa Fanti Melloni’s collection will be on the auction block.
