Jean Schlumberger debuted his gold and enamel bracelets in 1962. They were instantly popularised by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis who received her first bracelet, a white and gold enamel version as a gift from her close friend Rachel Bunny' Mellon. Jackie loved the bracelet so much that she ordered another in cobalt blue soon to be followed by other shades. They became one of her signature pieces, second only perhaps to her large sunglasses. Since Jackie was frequently photographed wearing Schlumberger's enamel bracelets, the fashion press subsequently nicknamed the jewels, 'The Jackie Bracelets.' They continue to be highly sought after.

Bombe Design in Jewellery - In the early 18th century, during the reign of Louis XIV, French court jewellers developed a new style of jewellery called "bombé" because of its bulging, curved shape.

The bombe design can be found in various styles of jewellery, from Georgian, Victorian, Art nouveau, to Art Deco and Retro eras, with the materials and techniques reflecting the era the jewellery was made.

The design is used for rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings, where a curved or rounded shape is emphasized, giving an organic look to the piece, with the piece often made of gold and set with precious stones, such as diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. The bombe design was also paired with other design elements such as engraving, enamelling, or gemstones
