About Rene Boivin Brand: The ability to keep its own style through the centuries is the staple of Rene Boivin jewelry. The company was founded in the late 19th century. Over time Rene Boivin pieces have been adapting to all the new trends and processed it via the original and special way of making jewelry. The most well-known Rene Boivin jewels were produced in 1930-1940, when the company was led by Jeane Boivin, Rene’s widow. Her partners at that time were two extraordinarily talented jewelry designers: Suzanne Belperron and Jeane’s daughter, Germain Boivin. That perfect team made Rene Boivin designs, which are still highly admired in the modern world. Being surrounded by Parisian artistic crowd, Jeane Boivin projected the influence of that circle to her jewelry. The exotic visuals of Picasso and Gauguin could be seen in her Torque, Barbare or Tranche collections. Instead of following a common geometrical trend of the Art Deco movement in the1930s, the House of Boivin created naturalistic themed pieces — such as orchids, umbel clusters and fox gloves. In the 1940s the designs offered more eloquent and larger size pieces featuring important colored stones or diamonds as a center stone. In the 1970s the brand was inherited by Jacques Bernard. Twenty years later it was bought by Asprey Co., and then later by a French jewelry firm. While the epochs and owners were passing, Boivin creativity and flawless craft remained the same until the house was closed at the end of 20th century.
