NOTES
Tony White trained as an architect graduating from the University of Sydney in 1966. However, he soon turned his critical eye to jewellery design launching his first jewellery exhibition in 1971, aged 29 at the Bonython Gallery in Paddington. His designs drew on his love of marine imagery, his travels to Africa, Asia and the South Pacific and his innate attraction to unusual gems sourced in the gemstone markets of Jaipur. Amongst others his clients are said to have included Kylie Minogue, Cate Blanchett, Julia Gillard, Pope John Paul II, Barbara Bush, Lauren Bacall along with the future Queen of the United Kingdom, Catherine Middleton.

NOTES
Gilbert Albert was born in Geneva in 1930. After studying jewellery craftsmanship and design at L’Ecole des Arts Industriels in Geneva, in 1955 at the age of 24 he joined Patek Philippe as designer and head of the workshop.
Breaking away from traditional shapes, he introduced asymmetrical triangles and rhombic forms inspired by his passion for modern sculpture and works by his favourite artists, such as Brancusi and Mondrian. He also introduced textured organic surfaces on the asymmetrical shapes designed for the Patek Philippe “Ricochet” collection. His daring and unconventional case designs are considered as cutting-edge today as they were 50 years ago.
In 1960 he went onto design for Omega, subsequently opening his own workshop in Geneva in 1962 specializing in the design and manufacture of unique jewels and objects. From 1958 to 1988, his fantastical and original pieces gained him the prestigious ‘Oscar’ award at the Diamonds International Awards no less than ten times: three for Patek Philippe, two for Omega and five times under his own workshop founded in 1962 - a unique achievement.
Over the years, Albert’s work has been exhibited around the world from London to Tokyo, Johannesburg to New York.

NOTES
Jean Schlumberger visualized the ‘Bird-on-a-Rock’ brooch design in 1961 to display a large topaz. For the designer’s 1995 retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Tiffany Diamond, a rare 128.54 carat Fancy Yellow diamond, was remounted into this iconic design. Subsequently the brooch was put on permanent display in the brand’s flagship store on Fifth Avenue, New York. Today, amongst collectors, this seminal design is instantly identified with the Tiffany brand.
