JEAN DESPRÉS (1889-1980 )Necklace, Pectoral type, modernist in silver. The five convex, trapezoidal and tapering plates are articulated to form a crescent held together by a long-link chain. The five modules, underlined by large curvilinear bars, receive, for the three of the center, decorations in applications, of pearled rows or geometrical reasons, on hammered grounds. The joints by flat clasps. Bears the hallmark of Master Goldsmith on one of the rings at the end of the crescent and the hallmark of guarantee on one of the rings holding the clasp.
