A Legacy of Elegance: The Joan Eleonora Zaruba Saueressig Collection
From the estate of Joan Eleonora Zaruba Saueressig (1930-2011), these exquisite sapphire and diamond earrings carry a rich legacy that bridges generations. Passed down to a dear friend, this collection reflects not just artistry but the deep-rooted heritage of a remarkable family.
Joan was the granddaughter of Eleanora Korbel Zaruba (1873-1965) and the great-granddaughter of Joseph Korbel, the visionary founder of the renowned Korbel Champagne Cellars. The Korbel family played a pivotal role in shaping California's winemaking history, navigating the complexities of family dynamics and innovative marketing strategies to achieve enduring success.
Known for her joie de vivre, Joan embodied the spirit of her lineage. She was a passionate entrepreneur, a dedicated gardener, a devoted dog lover, and a fierce tennis player, deeply connected to the vibrant wine-making community of central California.
These stunning sapphire and diamond earrings are a testament to Joan's heritage and a celebration of meticulous American craftsmanship and the timeless elegance of Art Deco design. Each piece whispers tales of a bygone era, inviting you to connect with the past while embracing the beauty of the present.
This collection is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history that reflects personal and cultural narratives woven together in American art and heritage.
