Paul TOUZET, a designer and jeweler active from the 1940s to the 1970s, worked, according to 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. Expert: Alexandre Léger.
