Jewelry House René Boivin

White gold pendant with diamonds and pearls in a special case by Rene Boivin Joaillier 38 Rue de Turbigo Paris circa 1905. The French jewelry house Boivin is associated with some of the most original and impeccably crafted jewelry of the 20th century. The firm was founded in 1890 by the jeweler Rene Boivin (1864-1917). At the age of 17, Rene became an apprentice jeweler in the workshop of his older brother Victor, and also took drawing lessons. Having started his own business, he, like many other young jewelers, created pieces for famous jewelery houses such as Mellerio dits Meller or Boucheron until he acquired his own clientele. The early works of the master, which are very rare, have a design traditional for the end of the 19th century, such as this pendant with diamonds, the authorship of which is attributed to René Boivin.

The Battle of Rivière-Ouelle

In 1690, Québec's Governor Frontenac sent ships to raid English settlements in New York and New England. British General Phips of Boston retaliated by sending ships to attack Acadia. Caught by surprise, Acadia was taken on May 21, 1690. Phips’ next target was Québec.

On his way up the St. Lawrence River, Phips decided to burn and loot villages, one such being Rivière-Ouelle.

Rivière-Ouelle, and below, a map showing individual inhabitants listed by name.

According to 19th century writer, H. R. Casgrain:

“One morning in the month of October 1690, a considerable detachment of Canadian settlers, armed for war, strode through the forest of spruce, fir and maple trees that still shade the edge of the River Ouelle.

The leader of the militia was none other than the parish priest, Father Francheville, a fifty-year old of fiery and impetuous character. "My friends," he told the men of the village earlier, "the news is about war. I just learned by letters from Québec, the English intend to seize the country to avenge the defeats we have inflicted upon them. It seems that a fleet of over 30 sails will soon appear. Already M. de Frontenac has sent detachments of militia to both sides of the river to prevent the enemy from making any landing. It must be believed that our governor is relying on your courage, since he sent none of his soldiers here. I would not recognize you were you to be so cowardly as to allow these Bostonian miscreats to land without firing a shot. You know what awaits you if you allow them to succeed: they will burn your houses, your church, desecrate what's holy as they have already done elsewhere, and they will drag everyone into captivity, you, your wives and children. Take arms and be ready for the first signal. "

Thus prepared, the inhabitants of Rivière-Ouelle opened fire when the British disembarked, killing and wounding many British and causing the remainder to retreat back to their ship. Similarly, Governor Frontenac, who was awaiting the British further up the St. Laurence, used forces to repell further attacks, destroying nine British ships in the process.

Some of the Canadians who successfully defended the small settlement of Rivière-Ouelle that day were:

Robert Lévesque

Art Deco Gold & Sapphire “Feuille” Brooch - by Rene Boivin Circa 1934

In the 1930s, the creative women at the House of René Boivin returned to naturalistic themes—like this blue sapphire "Feuille," or "Leaf," brooch—as many mainstream jewelers were looking elsewhere for inspiration. Madame Jeanne Boivin brought back armfuls of leaves from her long walks in the forest, and encouraged designer Juliette Moutard to introduce them into her designs. Typical of Moutard's eye for color, the sapphires subtly shift in hue and tone, ranging from pale violet and indigo to cornflower blue. She selected and positioned them to reflect the variegations of a natural creation. This enticing, finely-articulated soft blue sapphire leaf drapes softly from a structure of gold veins, easy to wear on a gown or jacket.

Product Details: Item #: BO-19373 Artist: René Boivin, Paris Country: France Circa: 1934 Size: 2.5” length, 2.5” width Materials: 63 Oval-, cushion-, and circular-cut sapphires (approximate total weight 124.00 carats); 18K Gold

Documentation: With certificate of authenticity from expert & archivist Madame Françoise Cailles (dated May 2, 2017), stating that the brooch is the work of the House of René Boivin, designed by Juliette Moutard

Literature: Another example of the "Feuille" brooch pictured in Women Jewellery Designers, by Juliet Weir-de La Rochefoucauld, Acc Art Books, 2022, p. 54 Curator's Notes: Designer Juliette Moutard worked at René Boivin for 40 years in a creative ensemble with Madame & Germaine Boivin, content to remain in the background to give free rein to her original & vibrant imagination, while drafting design ideas for all 3.
