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.

Biography: Raymond Templier (1891-1968) was a renowned French jeweler, famous for his avant-garde, modernist designs. Born into a family of jewelers, he continued his studies at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where he developed his taste for contemporary design. As a founding member of the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM) in 1929, Templier was a pioneer of the Art Deco movement, distinguished by his geometric, streamlined jewelry. He combined metals and precious stones in innovative compositions that reflected the spirit of his age.
