About : Jean Després is recognized as one of the most innovative creators of the 1920s and 1930s in the fields of jewelry and goldsmithing. Inspired by the mechanical forms discovered during his service in military aviation during the First World War, he incorporated these influences into his iconic works, such as his famous "engine jewelry". An artist exhibiting in official Salons since 1928, he has established himself as a master of renewal in table and religious goldsmithing, thanks to his modern aesthetic, his clean lines and his harmonious volumes.
