He was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He served his apprenticeship in Dufftown, in Banffshire, then founded a successful retail watchmaking and jewellery business in Liverpool, England, in 1871, after moving there at the age of 22. His business expanded, with shops in most large cities in Great Britain, aided by the slogan \"Who watches the Police?\", after winning a tender to supply watches for the Liverpool Police. Advertising in Australian newspapers brought so much business he decided to move there, emigrating in 1886. He founded the business of Stewart Dawson and Co., in Sydney and soon had branches in Melbourne, and Auckland and Dunedin in New Zealand as well as Regent Street, in London. After making the company a limited liability company in 1907, Dawson sold the company, in 1931, to RHO Hills department store (now House of Fraser). The resulting company operated until around 1935. Today Stewart Dawson is owned by New Zealand-Australian retail company the James Pascoe Group, acting as the group's luxury jeweller in New Zealand. The Stewart Dawson's brand is no longer in used in Australia, however thirteen stores remain across New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp\u003eWith thanks to Wikipedia\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moira Fine Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63797257371978,"sku":"11907CL2","price":19000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8026\/7850\/files\/stewart-dawson-art-deco-black-onyx-diamond-and-white-gold-dress-set-circa-1930_47d41bde-b9c3-461a-aa54-b69dbfb9ded7.jpg?v=1791140697"},{"product_id":"mellerio-wood-and-18-carat-gold-cufflinks-circa-1960","title":"Mellerio Wood and 18 Carat Gold Cufflinks, Circa 1960","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of vintage Mellerio cufflinks, set with two sections of dark wood and two alternate sections of 18ct gold, in circular discs, signed Mellerio, with chain link connections and a bar on the other end, with French eagle marks for 18ct gold, circa 1960.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mellerio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63797262123338,"sku":"6910CL","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8026\/7850\/files\/mellerio-wood-and-18-carat-gold-cufflinks-circa-1960_b4e83b32-30b1-4204-9804-552859abaf5c.jpg?v=1791140821"},{"product_id":"art-deco-lapis-lazuli-and-gold-cufflinks-circa-1935","title":"Art Deco Lapis Lazuli and Gold Cufflinks, Circa 1935","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of Art Deco, lapis lazuli and gold cufflinks, each set with flat, rectangular lapis lazuli, on yellow gold plates, with white gold bars at each end, divided into four, mounted in 14ct gold, with marks for Poland, with chain link fittings, circa 1935.\u003cbr\u003eThis mark came into force in December, 1931.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moira Fine Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63797262418250,"sku":"14611CL2","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8026\/7850\/files\/art-deco-lapis-lazuli-and-gold-cufflinks-circa-1935_693b9773-574f-4dde-88a5-22dd4bd31485.jpg?v=1791140849"},{"product_id":"tiffany-co-art-deco-enamel-and-gold-cufflinks-circa-1925","title":"Tiffany \u0026 Co.

Desbazeille, broadened the range, to include plique-à-jour jewellery with Arabic, Persian and Japanese themes, hair combs, bookmarks and hatpins. Germain used pierced cameos (à jour) in an attempt to boost their popularity. By 1889 cameos and intaglios had become less fashionable. Germain Desbazeille concentrated on marketing medal jewellery accented with applied patinas and enamels. Medal jewels, imitating ancient Greek and Roman medals and coins, was a branch of the Art Nouveau jewellery movement. Master medal engravers and those adept at the use of the tour à réduire were in high demand and received important commissions from the top jewellers. Desbazeille commissioned some of the most excellent examples, including the 'Cleopatra', 'The Four Seasons', 'Women with Flowers' and 'Saint George' medals by Émile-Séraphin Vernier (1852-1927). From 1895 the firm also kept Oscar Roty (1846-1911) occupied with the creation of religious and irreligious medals. Roty was an expert in the use of the tour à réduire - a machine, inspired by a lathe, designed in Russia, in the 1700s, to reduce designs and etch metals. He studied at the Ecole de Beau Arts, Paris.

Born in Berlin in 1818 he became apprenticed to the court goldsmith Johann Georg Hossaeur at the age of sixteen. Not long afterwards he moved to Paris, working first for J-V Morel before settling in a position with the renowned jewellers Froment-Meurice in 1839. He quickly rose to become workshop manager, tripling his wage in the process, before deciding that further financial gains could be made by setting up his own workshop which he did in 1845 at number 7, rue Jean-Pain-Mollet. To begin with he worked exclusively for his former employer who recognised his invaluable contribution at the 1849 Paris Exposition by ensuring that Wièse was awarded a collaborators medal. By the time of the next Paris fair six years later, Wièse was exhibiting under his own name having registered his makers mark some years previously. This consisted of his initials JW with a star above and below within a vertical lozenge it was registered in 1844 and remained in use for the next forty six years. The exposure he gained at this fair won him a significant and widely appreciative audience, including his peers and the judges, who awarded him a First Class medal for his work, commending him on his “excellence as a modeller and inventor”. On seeing his display stand, Wièse’s contemporary M. Magne wrote that he was a “fine goldsmith and jeweller with an already distinguished reputation… the importance of his pieces and his brave experiments reveal, even in the most modest work, an awareness of art and beauty which deserves to be encouraged….” He continued to produce both jewellery and other items such as mirrors, knives and goblets in the Neo-Renaissance style for many years, winning further medals in Paris and London, and securing various commissions including one from the city of Autun for a decorative presentation sword. His work was highly sculptural, often featuring figures which could be either human or mythological in nature, many with a definite Gothic overtone. In 1880 his son Louis (1852-1923) assumed control of the workshop having been trained by his father and when Jules died ten years later, Louis registered his own makers mark - the name WIESE with a star above and one below in a horizontal lozenge. Described by Vever as “an exceptionally modest and truly talented artist” Louis sought to continue the exemplary reputation for fine craftsmanship that his father had earned during his career. He continued working in the same tradition, producing beautifully crafted goldwork (sometimes to his father’s designs) which explored the familiar themes of the Neo-Renaissance and Gothic imagination whilst also looking to religion and archaeology to inspire him. He frequently employed grotesque beasts and gargoyles, ecclesiastic detailing and historic influences. If gems were used he would typically set them using antique-inspired methods and he was also known to use mercury oxide to distress the surface of metal, further enhancing the ‘aged’ appearance of his jewels. Enamelling was used to introduce colour and add another dimension to his pieces which are still highly regarded today and collected by a discerning group of individuals including contemporary goldsmiths. Examples of Wièse jewellery can be found in major museums worldwide including the British Museum and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moira Fine Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63797306917194,"sku":"S14216CL","price":20000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8026\/7850\/files\/wiese-cornelian-intaglio-cufflinks-circa-1925_f1180d2e-f843-4ca6-9574-b0185deae622.jpg?v=1791141539"},{"product_id":"diamond-ruby-silver-and-gold-owl-cufflinks-circa-1970","title":"Diamond Ruby Silver and Gold Owl Cufflinks, Circa 1970","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of owl cufflinks, pavé set with a mixture of old and brilliant cut diamonds, with cabochon ruby set eyes, with chain links, mounted in silver-upon-gold.

Born into a creative family in Paris in 1849, Georges Le Saché showed artistic promise early in life. His grandfather Jean-Jacques Le Saché was an engraver for the Paris Mint and was commissioned by the Mayor of Ghent in 1810 to make a medal for which he was praised not only for “the imaginative handling of the subject” but also the “meticulous craftsmanship evident in the piece”. His father, Emile, was a talented draughtsman, with a particular skill for line engraving, whilst his mother ran a jewellery shop in Paris’s Palais Royal. \u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe young George wanted to be a painter. His creative talents were nurtured and inspired by spending much of his early youth with artists, including one of the best academic painters, William-Adolphe Bouguereau. He planned to attend the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris however his parents wanted a more secure career path for him. Fearing the life of a painter was too unstable, they sent him to Germany, in 1866, at the age of 17. He worked for the renowned jewellery firm, Friedman, which was well known in France at the time and where Carl Fabergé would go to train a few years later. Le Saché's his skill as an artist was quickly recognised and he worked on the rendering of designs, whilst being exposed to all aspects of the jewellery trade. He then travelled to England where he studied and learnt as much as possible, applying his knowledge of drawing and design to a variety of decorative arts. At the outbreak of war in 1870 he returned to France, where he spent six months serving in the 1st battalion of the Seine regiment, until March 1871. He then returned to London for another year, until settling back in Paris, finding work as a designer for the jeweller Lucien Falize. \u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis proved an important period in Le Saché’s life as he and Falize became friends as well as professional collaborators. Falize taught him much about the jewellers’ art and Le Saché's position enabled him to study a wide variety of wonderful jewels, both antique and contemporary. The craft of the goldsmith inspired Le Saché’s designs, leading him to become a knowledgeable and skilled manufacturer, thanks to the careful tutelage and encouragement of his friend. After five years of working with Falize, Le Saché left, to join the highly regarded manufacturing jewellery company, Baucheron et Guillain, in 1877. His marriage to Baucheron’s daughter made a move to the family business almost inevitable. Eventually he would take it over as his own. He soon came to create pieces for some of the most famous Parisian jewellery houses of the period, who exhibited his pieces at the world fairs, both in Paris and internationally. He also attracted the attention of the American jewellers, Tiffany \u0026amp; Co., who commissioned various pieces from him.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLe Saché ran his workshop for over thirty years, preferring to remain anonymous. He worked to commission and sold only through agents. His workshop trained a steady stream of apprentices and craftsmen, never forgetting his enriching five years with Falize. The quality of his work spoke for itself. He was recognised by his peers, in 1901, with a large silver-gilt plaque, awarded for what Henri Vever referred to as the “rare talents and absolute integrity of an excellent artist and manufacturer”. Despite never seeking attention for himself his pieces are now in some of the most important jewellery collections in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;font-size:14.6667px;\"\u003eWith thanks to Hancocks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tiffany \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63797308064074,"sku":"S3616CL4","price":14000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8026\/7850\/files\/french-georges-le-sach-for-tiffany-co-art-nouveau-sapphire-ruby-and-gold-cufflinks-circa-1890_248384a1-d408-48e1-9224-47a4a83ff46a.jpg?v=1791141577"},{"product_id":"vintage-tartan-enamel-and-14ct-gold-dress-set-with-cufflinks-and-tie-pin","title":"Vintage Tartan Enamel and 14ct Gold Dress-Set with Cufflinks and Tie Pin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vintage tartan enamel dress-set, comprising a pair of cufflinks, three buttons and a tie pin, designed with a blue enamel pattern representing tartan, on 14ct gold, with markers marks J.B., mid 20th Century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moira Fine Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63797309243722,"sku":"S131116CL2","price":7700.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8026\/7850\/files\/vintage-tartan-enamel-and-14ct-gold-dress-set-with-cufflinks-and-tie-pin_a4ae86e9-d12a-4d42-aae7-3af7e8dbc8ea.jpg?v=1791141608"},{"product_id":"van-cleef-arpels-gold-stirrup-cufflinks-circa-1960","title":"Van Cleef \u0026 Arpels Gold Stirrup Cufflinks, Circa 1960","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of French, Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels 18ct gold stirrup cufflinks, with reeded engraving, with concealed openings in the centre and hinged white gold curved back plates, signed V.C.A,, with French eagle marks, for 18ct gold, maker's marks, Brevette S.D.D.G. guarantee marks, design number 78454, with sections numbered 3 and 5, circa 1960.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moira Fine Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63797310521674,"sku":"S131216CL","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8026\/7850\/files\/van-cleef-arpels-gold-stirrup-cufflinks-circa-1960_e82d1c6b-24cd-456b-81b4-c9666bb646f7.jpg?v=1791141620"},{"product_id":"frosted-rainbow-moonstone-and-black-onyx-dress-set","title":"Frosted Rainbow Moonstone and Black Onyx Dress-Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eA frosted rainbow moonstone and black onyx dress-set, comprising of a pair of cufflinks and three studs, with rub-over set diamonds in the centres, surrounded by domed frosted rainbow moonstone, set in octagonal black onyx, with yellow gold fittings, circa 1935.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moira Fine Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63797312160074,"sku":"S21217CL","price":5800.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8026\/7850\/files\/frosted-rainbow-moonstone-and-black-onyx-dress-set_c2cde8f1-bf40-45e6-ac69-5dc806eb26cc.jpg?v=1791141633"},{"product_id":"art-deco-french-diamond-platinum-and-gold-knot-cufflinks-circa-1935","title":"Art Deco French Diamond Platinum and Gold Knot Cufflinks, Circa 1935","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of Art Deco, French, diamond knot cufflinks, with a central old cut diamond set in the centre of a platinum knot, on 18ct yellow gold fittings.

He was born on 12\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e October, 1903 and died in 1984, in Helsingør, at the age of 81.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMagnus Stephensen’s revolutionary approach to design did away with the extravagant flourishes of the time. Inspired by the simplicity of Bauhaus and Japanese arts and crafts, his designs focused on clean lines and practicality.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe enrolled at the Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole (Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Copenhagen, in 1924, to study architecture. He graduated in 1930. He then worked at the architects’ design studio of Edvard Thomsen and Frits Schlegels for a year. During 1931 he studied at the French school, in Athens and travelled in Europe, the Far East and USA. He returned to Copenhagen in 1932 and opened his own design studio. He continued to collaborate with Thomsen and Schlegels. During the 1930s Stephensen gained commissions for a great number of houses and buildings in the Copenhagen area.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 1938 he started working with silversmith and designer Kay Bojesen, one of Georg Jensen's first apprentices, who became an important Danish silversmith and designer. Bojesen believed in functionalist design. Magnus Stephensen produced designs and drawings for silver, to be produced by Kay Bojesen. His designs from this period are simple, refined and smooth, inspired both by Kay Bojesens style and by Japanese handicrafts. Stephensen went on to write a book called \"Brugsting Fra Japan\" - \"Useful Things from Japan\". Stephensen's philosophy was that the function of a silver item should be apparent from its shape and form. The collaboration with Bojesen lasted until 1952.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFrom 1952 he designed hollowware and flatware, both in silver and steel, for Georg Jensen. Among his most famous designs is the steel flatware, Tuja, from 1955 and the silver flatware, Fregat (Argo in English) from 1961.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 1956 Stephensen started producing designs for ceramic pots and dishes for Royal Copenhagen and Alumina.\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe closed his studio in 1971.
