Renderings are a key component when custom designing jewelry pieces. It gives your bauble a dry run and helps the jeweler define the work ahead. This auction capitalizes on the artistry that goes behind a rendering…and for good reason: these sketches are amazing!
Leading American auction house Rago has organized a sale of jewelry and couture for December 7. A collection of more than 250 jewelry renderings (circa 1920 to 1950) is one lot that caught our eye. The group includes some examples from Dreicer & Co., which was one of the top luxury jewelry retailers in America during the first quarter of the 20th century. The sketches and gouaches were produced on cards or celluloid and depict rings, brooches, earrings, necklaces, and other accessories.
