Literature: An illustration of this brooch is depicted in Francoise Cailles, René Boivin Jeweller, Quartet Books, Ltd., London, 1994, p. 256.
Other Notes: This tree brooch’s magnificent color combination and bold design are unmistakably Boivin, a Parisian maison established in the 19th century celebrated for favoring the eclectic. René Boivin (1864-1917) was drawn to naturalism and keenly interested in botany, as expressed in his articulated floral designs. Following his death in 1917, Rene’s wife, Jeanne Boivin, maintained his imaginative compositions of colorful gemstones. In 1938, Boivin's daughter, Germaine, was brought on as a designer. She inherited her parents' sense of design and play of color as seen with the combination of pink tourmalines, amethysts, and green demantoid garnets. This brooch was designed by Germaine, for her mother, on her 80th birthday. It is completed by an accordion plaque bearing the designers, bench jewelers, and those who worked closely with Maison Boivin. - Shipping Info
