Raymond Templier Sports jewelry project
Boxing jewelry project in nickel silver depicting a boxer in position, ready to attack or defend. The construction of the jewelry gives a 3D impression. This piece likely served as a model for a silver belt featured in the Belgian newspaper “Les Sports,” 1944 (shown on p. 110 of “Raymond Templier, Le bijou moderne” by Laurence Mouillefarine and Véronique Ristelhueber), and for a trophy for a 1944 boxing championship for which a version was made (see photo). It may also have inspired a brooch project, with several representing other sports reproduced in the aforementioned book “Raymond Templier.” Circa 1944, France. Sport jewelry collection.

It represents Henri Cochet and his characteristic racket movement. The motif also appears on the Challenge Tennis-Club de Reims cup from 1947, reproduced on p. 109 in the previously mentioned book. Circa 1942, France. Sport jewelry collection.
