Lot Essay
Founded in the early 1970s by Jean Mahie — the artistic partnership of Jacques and Jacline Mazeaud — the house became renowned for its bold, sculptural approach to jewellery. Rejecting conventional notions of symmetry and polish, their creations celebrate the beauty of raw forms and hand-worked gold. Strongly influenced by mythology, primitivism and abstract art, Jean Mahie’s pieces possess a distinctive, almost archaic quality that feels both ancient and modern. Initially produced in collaboration with Van Cleef & Arpels and later with Tiffany & Co., their jewels stand today as collectible expressions of 1970s artistic freedom and individuality.
