Roberto Estevez was a renown jewelry designer and sculptor. He designed jewelry for Cartier, Van Cleef and Arpels as well as Tiffany. He had extraordinary talent in creating whimsical sculptures of animals and insects incorporating sea shells, ostrich eggs and other organic materials. He also created more serious works in small editions, mostly in bronze and brass, including those of monkeys and the human form, both male and female. Roberto Estevez was Karl Springer’s life partner until his death in the 1980’s. Estevez’s sophisticated and elegant designs fit in perfectly with Karl’s own aesthetic and Karl sold many of Roberto’s pieces through his showrooms.
