Ok, no nails! The Van Cleef & Arpels sapphire flower brooch (Lot 107: estimated at €30,000 to €50,000) at the Adams Fine Jewelery and Watches auction has no visible means of support and rests on top of whatever it is attached to. It looks like it’s floating.
This is an example of the famous “Mystery Setting”, developed by goldsmith Alfred Langlois and patented by Van Cleef & Arpels in 1933.
According to Claire-Laurence Mestrallet of Adam’s, the setup is simple in concept but difficult to execute. The “secret” behind the Mystery Setting is to carve the stones into small uniform pieces that can be precisely aligned with each other and arranged in a grid.
Keystones are placed in the main structure of the piece, all stones firmly in place. The sale also includes two of his works by pre-revolutionary Russian silversmith Andrei Bragin. A sapphire and diamond bracelet (Lot 39: estimated at €2,000 to €3,000) and a gold cigarette case (Lot 40: estimated at €4,500 to €5,500). ).look adams.ie
