A designer as well as a jewellery maker, Després was perhaps best known for his intricate jewellery designs made with semi-precious stones, machine parts and enamel. Heavily influenced by Cubism, Després was a contemporary of Braque, Picasso and Modigliani, and an active member of the Montmartre set. Works by Després can be seen in the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
