orn in New York City in 1881, Seaman Schepps created an eponymous jewelry house, becoming “America’s Court Jeweler” for his unique, bold designs, worn by the country’s most prominent society families. The son of immigrants, his humble beginnings led him to sit outside of the boutique of quintessential New York jeweler David Webb and sketch drawings for his own designs. Schepps left the Lower East Side of Manhattan around the turn of the century, finding work as a traveling salesman in Los Angeles and San Francisco. It was in California that he opened his first jewelry store, “The Virginia Studios,” named for his eldest daughter. After returning to New York in 1921 with his wife and two children, Schepps opened a store on 6th Avenue, near the storied Algonquin Hotel. He expanded a few years later to a second location, but the stock market crash of 1929 forced Schepps to shutter both shops. The sudden forced closure lasted five years, during which time he refocused his business strategy, and when Schepps reopened in 1934 at a new location on Madison Avenue, he had developed his own exclusive jewelry designs. Favoring bold colors and uncommon materials and motifs, the innovative designs that would define his style for decades to come—and earn adoration among the wealthy and influential—were ahead of their time, and trends. A three-month trip to Hong Kong provided Schepps new inspiration for textures and styles, including rough branch coral and decorative ivory, as well as intricately carved chess pieces, and snuff bottles, which further helped influence his jewelry designs. 60
Pieces by Schepps are often oversized and dramatic, created in an era when the fashion of the day called for stand-out accessories. However, he was more interested in shapes and the rather unorthodox mixing of semiprecious colored gemstones, which, while not necessarily extremely valuable, were prized by the artisan for the whimsical designs they yielded. His creations were typically heavy, comprised of natural elements blended with gold, and meant to be statement pieces. Schepps quickly found admirers and patrons in celebrities and artists such as Katharine Hepburn, Coco Chanel, and Andy Warhol, and his designs—often uniquely designed for clients seeking one-of-a-kind pieces—landed in the pages of Vogue magazine. He was so popular amongst American society royalty, including the President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Mellon and Rockefeller families, as well as actual British royalty (the Duchess of Windsor was also a client), that he earned the distinction of “America’s Court Jeweler.” Upon his death in 1972, the company was passed to his daughter, Patricia Schepps Vaill, who continued her father’s tradition and created jewelry solely in his style. The house’s archives include 5,000 detailed renderings and 650 molds for Schepp’s brilliant, innovative jewelry designs.

Robert Spratford grading diamonds

R
obert Spratford spent his life immersed in the world of fine jewelry. As a teenager, he began his career working for a jeweler in South Dakota, and was later a watchmaker in Virginia. In the 1940s, Spratford became an instructor at the Gemological Institute of America, working with the ‘father of gemology,’ Robert M. Shipley. In 1949, Spratford joined C.A. Kiger, a family-owned diamond cutter and importer based in Kansas City, Missouri. Over the course of his long career at Kiger, he worked continuously at providing ideal-cut diamonds to the jewelry industry. Spratford was an active member of the American Gem Society, and in 1988 was honored with the Robert M. Shipley Award, bestowed for significant contributions to the science of gemology. The present lot comes from the collection of a Kansas City gentleman, by descent from Spratford’s own collection. Blue diamonds owe their color to the presence of the elemental impurity boron; as the amount of boron increases, so will the depth and intensity of color. This impressive example weighs 1.17 carats, and its fancy blue color is at once delicate and remarkable.

Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser. Upon request, Freeman’s will provide the purchaser with names of professional packers and shippers known to us. Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.
