From the Estate of Beatrice Fabry Seligman and by Descent
Born in Paris, France in 1929 to Jules and Bella Feldman, Russian émigrés who fled the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, Beatrice spent her life in Paris, New York, London, and finally returning to Paris in 1967 where she lived until her death in 2009. Beatrice acquired her jewelry pieces from her childhood friend, Serge Weissager, who, according to family history, was one of the Russian émigrés employed by Van Cleef & Arpels for their design work.
