The Story of Jacques’ Umbrella Signature
Jacques emphasizes this: “Pépin means umbrella in French, you know…” So, each of Jacques’ paintings is adorned with his name embellished with an umbrella. Learn more.
The Original Umbrella Pendant
In 1965, while Jacques Pepin and his future wife Gloria were dating, Jacques and his friend and jeweler, Charles Odeurs, set out to design a brooch in the form of what was known as “The Pepin.” In colloquial French, pepin means umbrella.
Armed with a dentist tool and a hunk of wax, Jacques began to create a three dimensional version of that umbrella which became his signature. From that creative endeavor, Jacques and Charles created a total of four umbrella broaches, made in 18 karat gold and enamel. Each was given as a gift to family members and then the mold was destroyed.
The New Umbrella Pendant
More than 50 years later, in 2017, Jacques’ umbrella is once again a piece of fine jewelry. This time it’s a beautiful 18 karat gold with green and blue enamel pendant. The pendant is attached to a 16-inch yellow 14 karat gold cable chain.
Each pendant and necklace is individually handcrafted as ordered and will be part of a limited edition of 100 pieces and each will be engraved with the limited edition number (x/100) on the back of the pendant along with Jacques’ initials signature.
Size: The pendant is approximately 3/4″ wide by 7/8″ (from top of umbrella to bottom of handle). The gold cable chain is 16″.
Since each piece is handcrafted to order, there is a 3-4 week waiting period between order and shipment.
