Doyle is honored to present The Collection of Pat Breen—a refined selection of jewels from one of Houston’s most admired hostesses and philanthropists—to be offered across various auctions this season.
Eminent Houston hostess Pat Breen was admired for her warmth, elegance, and spirited generosity. Dividing her time between Houston and East Hampton, she embodied a rare balance of sophistication and ease—the kind of modern refinement that made her equally at home chairing a gala, playing tennis, or welcoming guests with genuine charm.
A devoted patron of the arts, Pat served on the boards of the Houston Grand Opera, Houston Ballet Foundation, and Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, where her leadership and enthusiasm helped shape Houston’s cultural landscape. Her taste was as discerning as it was joyful—favoring classic design, bold color, and impeccable craftsmanship.
That sensibility shines through in her jewelry collection, which features exquisite pieces by Cartier, David Webb, Oscar Heyman & Brothers, and Seaman Schepps. Each jewel reflects her distinctive blend of grace and character: refined yet full of life.
The Collection of Pat Breen celebrates a woman whose effortless style and radiant spirit continue to inspire—and whose jewels still sparkle with the same vitality she brought to every room.
