Provenance:
Founded in 1912 by brothers Oscar, Nathan, and Harry, Oscar Heyman Brothers is celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive, refined style. Drawing on techniques learned while apprenticing at Fabergé in Russia, the firm became known for richly set gemstones, meticulous detail, and beautifully constructed pieces. Known as the ‘jeweler’s jeweler,’ the firm has crafted extraordinary pieces for many important jewelry maisons, including Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Marcus & Co., and J.E. Caldwell. Notably, Oscar Heyman Brothers was entrusted with the manufacture of Van Cleef & Arpels’s famous ‘Serti Mystérieux’ jewels. In 1969, the firm designed and crafted the setting for the 69.42 carat Taylor-Burton Diamond. Their vintage and contemporary jewels continue to be highly sought after, cementing Oscar Heyman Brothers as one of the most important names in American fine jewelry.
