<b>The Dark history of the war years in France.</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Suzanne Belperron was a much sought after European jewelry designer. She was a jeweler's jeweler. In 1939 she received numerous letters with job offers urging her to leave Europe. She wanted to stay with her husband who was working in occupied France.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bernard Herz was an important pearl dealer in Paris. Herz was also Jewish, like so many of the French Jews he was deported. Madame Belperron secured Benard Herz's release once, but failed a second time. Bernard Herz was sent to a camp. Many Jewish families and merchants were in fact turned in to the Nazis by the French.<br />
<br />
Heroically In 1941 Suzanne Belperron set up a holding company under her name to protect the remaining assets of the Herz family, for Bernard and his son Jean. <span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">Herz</span><span class="">'s buisness had been declared a Jewish enterprise; as such</span> like many <span class="hps">Jewish properties, the assets were </span>subject to <span class="hps">theft</span> <span class="hps">and unregulated sales</span> <span class="hps">which benefited the</span> <span class="hps">Germans and the French collaborators. </span></span><br />
<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"></span> </span>Sadly Bernard Herz died in 1943. His son Jean survived the war. He returned to Paris and in 1946. The firm of Herz-Belperron was born.<br />

Suzanne Belperron's use of carved hardstones, like rock crystal, smoky quartz, rose quartz, and chalcedony was unique. She made hardstone sensual and soft, by playing with voluptuous shapes and surface finishes (matte or polished). She inlaid these evocative carvings with precious stones in innovative settings.<br />

Each pear-shaped stone is about<br />
1 1/8 l long or approximately 30 mm.<br />

I love color especially in magnificent semi-precious stones.</div>
<div align="CENTER">
Rare pink, and peachy/orange-topaz are favorites of mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Orange topaz, also known as precious topaz.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Imperial topaz is pink, and it is extremely rare, if it is natural. (not heat treated)<br />
<br />
Never confuse these fabulous stones with quartz!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to Robert Webster FGA "One of the more universal canards is that all yellow stones are topaz, and that all topaz is yellow. Even in present day enlightenment much yellow quartz is sold under the misnomer 'topaz'... and the term precious topaz is reserved only for true topaz."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly this is still annoying but true.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">And yes these are really "precious jewels" not cheeky costume jewelry. What else would one possibly think? No, the ring band is not made with an anodized-aluminum knitting needle. The beads were not assembled by a crafty soul for an Etsy boutique or a craft fair.</div><div style="text-align: center;">They are in fact really gold with real colored stones, diamonds, and acrylic automotive<br />
