Lot of 12 jewelry drawings on tracing paper (some mounted on cardboard) in pencil heightened with polychrome gouache, including three with white jewelry, one with a cascade of pearls, two with leaf decorations, one with emerald pendants and diamond flowers, one with large red stone pendants, a choker with chrysoprase beads probably, and three designs for modernist pendant necklaces, one with a waterfall design on tubogass mesh, one with nuggets enhanced with coral beads, and one in the spirit of Sterlé. Paul TOUZET, a designer and jeweler active from the 1940s to the 1970s, worked in the family tradition for VAN CLEEF & ARPELS, BOUCHERON and STERLE. He is also said to have worked with Georges BRAQUE and Jean COCTEAU on their jewelry. His creations are typical of French and Parisian jewelry production during the Trente Glorieuses.
