Niels Erik From Sterling Denmark MCM Atomoic Brooch pin
Niels Erik From Sterling Denmark MCM Atomoic Brooch. 1 5/8" wide x 9/16" beautiful condition with no issues. Danish jeweller and silversmith Niels Erik From ( N.E. From) was born in 1908 and opened his first workshop in 1931 when he was still only twenty-three . Over the next forty years Niels Erik went on to become one one of the greats of Danish design, and created many works including floral-inspired designs often set with semi-precious gemstones. These pieces took inspiration from the Skønvirke style. This was a Scandinavian development that formed part of Denmark’s Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movement . This movement ususally took inspiration from nature with designs incorporating flowers and floral motifs as well as featuring natural creatures such as fish. N.E. FROM JEWELLRY STYLES - EARLY FLORAL DESIGNS AND LATER ABSTRACT MODERNIST PIECES N.E. From’s output generally displays one of two distinct styles. In the early years of production he produced wiry, thin, foliage and floral pieces .However, beginning in the 1950's the work produced by From (which were often the designs of other designers) had a very different look. No longer does the jewellery feature romantic, detailed designs from nature. The later pieces have modernist, clean lines with geometric and abstract shapes. Occasionally the modern designs show nature as inspiration with abstract blossom and leaf and blossom shapes. In generally though, they follow the trend of the 1950s of , spare, minimalist design.production .

Sterling Stuart NYE Feather Brooch Handmade pin
Sterling Stuart NYE Feather Brooch Handmade. 3.5" x 7/8" Nice vintage piece in good condition. About Stuart Nye In the depths of the depression, Stuart Nye bought some second hand tools and a little silver. Without any experience in jewelry or metal work, but with good taste, an eye for beauty and faith in himself, he began to make a few simple bangle bracelets. Through trial and error he learned the nature of his materials and began to fashion silver into the leaves and flowers so characteristic of our jewelry today. From that day in 1933 when Mr. Nye began, our shop has changed in many ways. It has moved from an attic room through a series of additions to a garage to the rustic building built especially for our use in 1948 which we now call "The Shop".

Made from cigar boxes as shown from the exposed section on the base.<br>From a San Antonio, Texas estate.<br>The first picture is actually the back of the box with the initials on the front<br>and the date on the back.<br><br>Tramp art<br>Tramp art is a style of woodworking which emerged in America the latter half of<br>the nineteenth century. Some of tramp art's defining characteristics include<br>chip or notch carving, the reclaimation of cheap or available wood such as that<br>from cigar boxes and shipping crates, the use of simple tools such as penknives,<br>and the layering of materials into geometric shapes through glue or nails. One<br>technique used in tramp art is Crown of Thorns joinery.<br><br>History<br>Although widespread use of wooden cigar boxes in the 1850s sparked involvement<br>in tramp art, it was most prevalent during the Great Depression. Tramp art was<br>made around the world but it prospered in the United States. Examples can be<br>found in every state. The most common forms were the box and the frame and<br>although there were no rules or patterns to lend commonality in the artists’<br>work there were objects made in every conceivable shape and size including full<br>sized furniture and objects of whimsy.<br><br>Tramp art was a democratic art form made wherever the raw materials used in its<br>construction were found. It appealed to men who might have made an important<br>body of work such as ‘Sunflower’ artist John Martin Zubersky (active c. 1912 –<br>1920) or the wonderfully expressive wall pockets by John Zadzora (active circa<br>1910) but also to men who might have made one piece in their lifetime. It was<br>easy to make and appealed to anyone who had a desire to take a pocketknife to<br>wood.<br><br>There were countless men, some women, and even children who historically<br>constructed tramp art.<br><br>Origins of the Term<br>A 1959 article by Frances Lichten in Pennsylvania Folklife used the term "tramp<br>work" to describe crafts constructed from waste materials such as discarded<br>cigar boxes and assembled with a penknife. Contemporary scholars and art dealers<br>such as Clifford A. Wallach have noted that while this art form may have been<br>practiced among America's itinerant population, it was by no means unique to<br>them and was practiced by factory workers, farmers, and laborers in other<br>occupations.<br><br>In 1975 Helaine Fendelman published the first book on tramp art, Tramp Art an<br>Itinerant's Folk Art. The book acted as a catalog to the first museum show on<br>the art form sponsored by the American Museum of Folk Art.<br>b30

Menu Cart Home › WEC: Thoughts about Jewelry ›Jonette Jewelry Company aka JJ Jewelry Jonette Jewelry Company aka JJ Jewelry Posted by Laurie Zeiden on Aug 07, 2017 Jonette Jewelry Company, or JJ, was a Providence, Rhode Island company in business from 1935 through 2006. The name of the company wasn't always the same. Originally, the company, started by Abraham Lisker, was called The Providence Jewelry Company. Over the years, the company's name was changed to Lisker & Lisker and after a significant slow-down in production during the years of World War II, the company revamped and resurfaced as Jonette Jewelry. JJ is known for it's novelty jewelry, including figurals and animal designs and its Christmas themed jewelry. In the 1980's, JJ produced two specialty lines: Artifacts, a line of novelty pins, and Santa Fe, a line of American western jewelry. JJ jewelry is fairly easy to find in the secondary marketplace and prices can be very reasonable. The most recent pieces can usually be purchased even if you have a very tight budget making JJ a great value and an easy start to a costume jewelry collection.

He attended art schools in<br>Chicago, Dallas and Memphis, before serving in the US Navy from 1943-1945. He<br>was stationed at Brisbane for some of this time. He continued his art studies in<br>Pittsburgh after the war, but returned to Brisbane in 1948 with his<br>Australian-born wife and son Phillip (1946- ).

James Avery founded his company in 1954, initially crafting jewelry in a two-car garage in Kerrville, Texas, with just $250 and a desire to create lasting value for others. Mr. Avery believed that meaning is what makes life more beautiful and this concept continues to drive how we design jewelry to this day. In 2007, 53 years after he first founded the company, James Avery officially stepped down as CEO and passed the reins on to his sons, Chris and Paul. Mr. Avery’s mission was simple: to create jewelry with meaning—both for himself and others. With a focus on creating straightforward designs and a core belief of integrity in all things, his jewelry became more than precious metals and gemstones. Guests came to him with their stories—their special moments—so he could craft them into pieces they would wear with pride for a lifetime. From writing letters to greeting Customers, Mr. Avery prioritized developing lasting relationships with each person who connected with his designs. anderas

Very wonderful item that is so great<br>in real life but difficult to photograph due to reflections. This piece is<br>100-120 years old.<br><br>Es crystal pieces are formed from a rock crystal cabochon (polished domes of<br>rock crystal with a flat base), an image or motif is then reverse carved into<br>the flat base, and then painted, to give them impression of a three dimensional<br>object or image encapsulated in the cabochon when viewed from above. This<br>process of carving into the back of the cabochon is sometimes referred to as<br>reverse intaglio, not be to mistaken with intaglio, which is designed to be<br>viewed from the same side on which it is carved, unlike Es crystal. Particularly<br>when the image is of something which is itself small in reality, such as an<br>insect, they can be very convincing when created by skilled craftsman.

Large Vintage Matl Style Sterling Turquoise Amethyst repousse birds pendant/pin
Large Matl style Sterling Turquoise Amethyst repousse birds pendant/pin,MAT-MATILDE POULAT & RICARDO SALAS JEWELRY Matl is the mark that appears on some of the most beautiful and unique jewelry in Mexico. Matilde Eugenia Poulat introduced MATL in 1934 and, since her death in 1960, her designs and techniques have been carried on by her nephew, Ricardo Salas. For sr. Salas, who can recite poetry in the language of the Aztecs, the mark matl, has greater meaning in its reference to the Nahuatl or Aztec word for water, atl.As a young woman, Matilde Poulat studied painting at the prestigious San Carlos academy of fine arts in Mexico city, she went on to teach painting classes at an art school until her interest turned exclusively to silver. Matilde Poulat´s designs for jewelry and figures were part of the new cultural vision among Mexico’s intellectuals after the revolution in 1920s, artists were searching for Mexican aesthetic, rejection European subjects in favor of the art of the pre-conquest Indians and of the Mexican pueblos. Sra. Poulat found inspiration in the mextec gold jewelry discovered in 1932 at Monte Alban. Her choice of motifs the dove, flowers, and tiny bells are reminiscent of the whimsical subjects of contemporary Mexican folk art.Matilde Poulat received international recognition for her jewelry when she was asked in 1941 to participate in an exhibit of Latin American silver at the pan American union in Washington, D.C. as a result of increasing demand for matl silver during world war ii , the number of silversmiths in the taller increased to thirty-three. In 1950, Srta. Poulat and her nephew opened a showroom on the first floor of her home, where she also had the workshop. Ricardo Salas recalls that they made three thousand types of silver jewelry and one hundred different pieces.Ricardo Salas worked closely with his aunt from the time he was eleven years of age. He says she recognized his artistic talent when she saw him do a play with puppets he had made himself. Sr. Salas was sent to the San Carlos academy, where he received the premio Diego Rivera. As a youth, he learned the techniques of the silversmith and perfected the carving of "Off White", coral, turquoise, and other stones used in the jewelry and figurines. From sr. Salas perspective, he and his aunt collaborated so closely as designers, that there really cannot be a comparison of their work.In 1955, William Spratling wrote of Matilde Poulat: “she has continued to produce some of the most charming native jewelry in Mexico, intensely her own. Her jewelry has the same charm and delightful surface and colorful quality of the old lacquer work of Uruapan. Spratling`s admiration for matl silver reflects his recognition of their shared appreciation for Mexican native art. This mutual inspiration led each of the two artists in different directions within the same medium. The exuberance of matl silver resembles the interiors of the churches in Puebla, like the chapel of Santa Maria Tonantzintla, where Indians covered the interior of the dome with polychromed and gilded angels. In matl silver, the introduction of color is accomplished with bits of coral, turquoise, and amethyst quartz. The surfaces are decorated with applied wire and elaborated with embossing and repousse of astounding complexity (pl.XXIII-1, XXIII-10). Matilde Poulat and Ricardo Salas have been successful in incorporating the artistic language of the Mixtecs into jewelry and silver figures with imagination, drama, and with a style that is completely personal.
