Specialist note

The collaboration of the American jewelry firm Trabert & Hoeffer with the Parisian house Mauboussin lasted seventeen years from the mid-1930s through the 1940s. During this period, the two firms worked together to produce some of the most creative and glamourous jewels of the period.
The collaboration gave birth to the ‘Reflection’ line, which introduced the bold shapes and colors of modern European jewelry to America. The slogan ‘Reflection – Your Personality in a Jewel’ encouraged women to choose the arrangement of the elements themselves to create personalized jewelry that they could wear and enjoy.
