Lot of 32 jewelry drawings on tracing paper and blue and black paper (some mounted on cardboard) in pencil heightened with polychrome gouache, the vast majority featuring rings set with colored stones, with typical 1950s/1960s designs, including cocktail rings, Toi & Moi rings, twisted body rings, some with partially erased studio instructions, and a drawing of a ring set with a large emerald cabochon glued to a business card from Sterlé in Paris, a drawing of a large cocktail ring set with a sapphire and falling baguette sapphires with Sterlé's dry stamp and traces of erased workshop annotations, and a drawing of a tourbillon ring centered on a sapphire bearing Boucheron's dry stamp numbered 22477, as well as annotations on the manufacturing price. 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.
