Spille e spille

Spilla moderna di metà secolo con sfera degli anni '60 Otto Robert Bade larga 3 pollici senza piegature o ammaccature.Otto R. BadeUn argentiere autodidatta, le cui radici provengono da una fattoria nel Nebraska. Otto, che aveva visitato suo nonno, in visita all'Esposizione Universale del 1940, si rese conto che non voleva intraprendere la vita di agricoltore così, nel 1941, andò a New York per scoprire il suo futuro, rispose ad un solo annuncio di lavoro e si presentò al colloquio. Frank (Francisco) Rebajes ha spiegato che stava cercando qualcuno che prendesse le opere d'arte del suo studio e aumentasse la capacità di produzione. Ha detto a Otto "Guarda cosa puoi fare" e ha consegnato a Otto uno dei suoi pezzi preferiti, "Ubangi Face". Alla fine della giornata Frank rimase stupito. Otto aveva creato alcune maschere e un processo per produrre in serie l'arte di Frank. Otto realizzò in un solo giorno, cento spille perfette scolpite con il volto di Ubangi. Frank capì allora che il suo sogno era quello di fornire arte indossabile ai le messe sarebbero state ora realizzate.Frank Rebajes era considerato il primo maestro nell'arte della gioielleria e dell'artigianato in rame e Otto era il caposquadra che assicurava che i disegni fossero prodotti ad arte e magistralmente. Ancora più importante, Frank e Otto godevano di un'amicizia che sarebbe durata tutta la vita.Rebajes Wearable Art è stato uno dei principali produttori di gioielli negli anni '40 e '50 con centinaia di negozi di punta in tutta la nazione che vendevano la linea. Otto, con decenni di esperienza come argentiere, lasciò l'azienda e iniziò la propria attività "Orb Originals" nel 1958 con molto successo. Frank vendette il nome e l'attività Rebajes a Otto nel 1960 e si trasferì in Spagna dove tornò al lavoro in un piccolo studio e alla ricerca scientifica sul "Möbius".Con la crescita dell'attività di Otto, aveva aggiunto l'officina, i macchinari e disegni di cataloghi di Rebajes. Gli affari continuarono a crescere e ad andare abbastanza bene, fino al 1981, quando Otto fu trattenuto e colpito con una pistola, lasciandolo in condizioni critiche. Dopo un lungo recupero dalle ferite, Otto e sua moglie Dae si trasferirono a New Hope, Pennsylvania.Orb Silvermiths rimane ancora oggi un punto fermo per la comunità di New Hope, Pennsylvania. Otto, ormai novantenne, è ancora determinante nel garantire che il marchio Rebajes porti avanti le tradizioni e l'artigianato che hanno reso il nome Rebajes così famoso e ricercato per oltre ottant'anni.

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. 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".

Jonette Jewelry Gold Tone Cat and Mouse Brooch. 2 3/8" wide with no issues. 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.
