SEAMAN SCHEPPS

Pre-owned Pearl Necklace, With Ruby And Rock Crystal Clasp In Multi

An elegant and highly characteristic three-strand cultured pearl necklace by Patricia Schepps Vaill for Seaman Schepps, featuring a sculptural clasp set with a cabochon ruby within a carved rock crystal mount. The bold clasp design reflects the house’s celebrated mid-20th century aesthetic, combining dramatic scale, unusual materials, and refined craftsmanship into a distinctly American form of luxury jewellery. Founded by Seaman Schepps (often referred to as "America’s Court Jeweller”) the firm became renowned for its imaginative use of colourful cabochon gemstones, organic materials, and striking statement compositions worn by some of the most influential figures of the 20th century, including members of the Rockefeller and Mellon families, as well as fashion icons such as Chanel and Schiaparelli. Following Seaman Schepps’ retirement, Patricia Schepps Vaill continued designing jewels in her father’s unmistakable style while adapting the aesthetic for a new generation. The necklace is composed of three graduating strands of luminous cultured pearls, gathered by the substantial ruby and rock crystal clasp signed "P.S.V. Seaman Schepps.” A sophisticated and highly wearable jewel from one of America’s most iconic jewellery houses. Signed P.S.V.
