Mark Chee (1914-1981) Silver Pin with turquoise 1 5/8" wide x 1.25" tall x 13.1 grams. 100% guaranteed authentic with no issues. Very few Mark Chee pins have made it to the secondary market. <br><br>Mark Chee (1914-1981) Biography<br>Navajo artist, Mark Chee is among the earliest southwest silversmiths. Mark Chee is known for traditional stamp work and high quality stone settings in unusually heavy silver. He was born in Lukachukai, Arizona around 1900 and was sent to government school at Fort Defiance (a United States government practice during that time) from the age of 10 to the 11thgrade. He is the elder brother of Joe Chee. <br><br>He was active during the 1930s through ‘60s. He specialized in heavy silver in old style designs. He began polishing silver in Julius Gans’ Southwest Art and Crafts shop in Santa Fe for $5.00 a week. He then bought a few tools and used them all his life. He quickly became an accomplished silversmith and was hired as a bench smith at Frank Patania’s Thunderbird Shop and later at Al Packard’s shop on the Santa Fe Plaza. He was also a bench-smith for the Wooden Indian at Embudo, New Mexico. <br><br>His hallmark is a stamp of a bird with his last name in the body in Gothic print. There are several versions of this mark but rather than being a separate stamp they may be due to the angle of his strike.<br><br> Marked or unmarked as shown in pics, weight and other measurements in pics.

"When silver is all shined up it hides all of the intricate<br>detail in the stamp work and the bezels. This older style is what I grew up with<br>and what I love."<br><br>Although it was his mother who inspired him to create this style of jewelry that<br>had that old Navajo look,it was Harry however who was the 1st to bring this<br>style to the forefront of the industry..Paving the way for others like his<br>brother-in-law Kirk Smith who then followed in Harry's footsteps & with Kirk's<br>connection with other artists,they then followed in Kirk's footsteps.

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

Willie Yazzie, Sr. (Navajo), 1928-1999 Overlay silver pins (2) Largest 2", 18.9 grams total weight. <br><br>Navajo Overlay Artist Willie Yazzie<br><br>After the success of the overlay designs made at the Hopi Guild many other<br>silversmiths and shops incorporated overlay in their designs (see Overlay is Not<br>Always Hopi Made). Navajo trader Dean Kirk opened his own trading post at<br>Manuelito, New Mexico (between Gallup and the Arizona border) by January 1941.<br>The silver work made in Dean’s shop was typically Navajo tourist type designs<br>and hallmarked UITA22 (under the auspices of the United Indian Traders<br>Association) until about 1951. That’s when Kirk designed a series of overlay<br>pins to be made by Navajo smiths in his employ incorporating Hohokam and Mimbres<br>designs. These designs proved to be very popular, as a 1958 newspaper<br>advertisement for Enchanted Mesa in Albuquerque promoted “Dean Kirk’s Navajo<br>Overlay Silver”. The overlay pieces made at Kirk’s shop were rarely hallmarked.<br><br>However, one of the Navajo silversmiths who worked for Dean Kirk was Willie<br>Yazzie, he made his own hallmark and used it on pieces he made in Kirk’s shop.<br><br>Much of the following information was relayed to Alan Ferg (archivist and<br>archaeologist at Arizona State Museum) by William P. (Willie) Yazzie, Jr, in<br>February 2018. Ferg’s investigation of an overlay belt buckle in his possession,<br>lacking a hallmark, has led to previously unrecorded information about Willie<br>Yazzie, as well as the identification of an additional hallmark used by the<br>artist.<br><br>According to Social Security records, Willie A. Yazzie was born at Chinle,<br>Arizona in 1928. His son says he learned silverwork at Dean Kirk’s trading post<br>in Manuelito in the early 1950s, and created his touchmark (or hallmark) no<br>later than 1960, and after that time his pieces made at Dean Kirk’s would have<br>included his gourd dipper hallmark. His designs often incorporated animal<br>figures such as roadrunners or Navajo designs including Yeis and Father Sky. He<br>never added “tamp work,” or a textured pattern to the background designs.<br><br>In 1960 Ansel Hall, concessionaire at Mesa Verde National Park, was looking for<br>a silversmith to demonstrate at the park during the summers months, Dean Kirk<br>recommended Willie Yazzie and he was hired by Hall. Willie worked at Mesa Verde<br>in the summers from 1960 to 1983, except for 1965 when he was sick. Yazzie<br>created a special hallmark to denote pieces he made at Mesa Verde. The mark<br>depicts Square Tower House, a ruin within the park, and was included with his<br>gourd dipper mark during the summers of 1960-1964 and 1966-1983.<br><br>Willie A. Yazzie died in 1999, but his family, including his widow, daughter and<br>Willie Jr continue the tradition of Willie’s overlay work. Willie Jr said that<br>his sister has most of their father’s tools and stamps, and that she still uses<br>the gourd dipper mark. Willie uses mostly his initials as his hallmark, but<br>doesn’t do much silverwork anymore, he is retired from the National Park Service<br>where he was a ranger at Canyon de Chelly. Willie, who lives in Chinle, said his<br>sons do a little silversmithing, but that they are busy and don’t have much time<br>for it.

Largest 3" x 1 1/8", other 2" x 1.25"...Both seem to<br>possibly represent human forms. 38.6 grams total.<br><br>Jules Brenner and Henry Steig were among group of prominent of New York<br>mid-century studio jewelers who hand-crafted pieces of wearable art that<br>celebrated the avant-garde, rejected traditional jewelry forms, and appealed to<br>an intellectual and liberal middle class. Jules Brenner was born in the Bronx,<br>grew up in Washington Heights, and studied acting with Stella Adler and painting<br>and sculpture in Greenwich Village. Henry Steig (also known as Henry Anton)<br>studied at City College and the National Academy of Design, and began his career<br>as a New York City jazz musician, writer, novelist, cartoonist, and painter.<br>During the 1950s, both Brenner and Steig operated shops and studios in Manhattan<br>and in Provincetown, Massachusetts—then a prominent artists’ enclave—where they<br>sold hand-wrought silver and gold designs which often emphasized biomorphic,<br>surrealist, cubist, and geometric forms.<br><br>Everyone knows the famous picture from the film The Seven Year Itch, of Marilyn<br>Monroe standing on a New York sidewalk, her skirt blown up by on updraft from<br>the subway grate below. However, not everyone knows that at that moment she was<br>standing in front of Henry Steig's jewelry shop at 590 Lexington Avenue.<br>Henry Steig was a man of many talents. Before he became a jeweler, he was a jazz<br>musician, painter, sculptor, commercial artist, cartoonist, photographer, short<br>story writer and novelist.<br><br>"Henry was a Renaissance man," says New Yorker cartoonist Mischa Richter, who<br>was Steig's good friend and Provincetown neighbor.<br><br>Henry Anion Steig was born on February 19, 1906, in New York City. His parents,<br>Joseph and Laura, had come to America at the turn of the century, from Lvov<br>(called Lemberg in German), which was then in the Polish port of the<br>Austro-Hungarian Empire. Joseph was a housepainter and Laura, a seamstress.<br><br>They had four sons, Irwin, Henry, William and Arthur, all of them versatile,<br>talented and artistic. William Steig is the well-known New Yorker cartoonist and<br>author-illustrator of children's books. lrwin was a writer of short stories for<br>the New Yorker. Arthur was a painter and poet whose poems were published in the<br>New Republic and Poetry magazines.<br><br>William Steig recalls, "My father and mother both began pointing and become<br>exhibiting artists after their sons grew up." In the May 14, 1945, issue of<br>Newsweek magazine, an article was published about an exhibition, "possibly the<br>first one family show on Art Row (57th Street)" at the New Art Circle Gallery.<br>It was called "The Eight Performing Steigs, Artists All." Included were<br>paintings By Joseph and Laura Steig; drawings and sculpture by William and<br>paintings by his wife, Liza; paintings by Arthur and his wife, Aurora; and<br>photographs by Henry and paintings by his wife, Mimi. The only brother not<br>included was Irwin, "the only non-conformist Steig," who was working at that<br>time as advertising manager of a Connecticut soap manufacturer.<br><br>In the article "the brothers attribute the family's abundance of good artists to<br>the fact that we all like each other's work…get excited about it. Whenever<br>anyone starts they get lots of encouragement. Joseph Steig adds, 'Painting is a<br>contagious thing. If you lived in our environment, you would probably point.'"<br><br>Henry Steig grew up in this extraordinary environment. The family lived in the<br>Bronx. After graduating from high school, Henry Steig went to City College<br>(CCNY). After three years he left to study painting and sculpture at the<br>National Academy of Design. He was also an accomplished musician, playing<br>saxophone, violin and classical guitar, and while he was in college, he began<br>working as a jazz musician. From about 1922, when only sixteen years old, until<br>1932 he played reed instruments with local dance bands.<br><br>After four years at the National Academy, Steig worked as a commercial artist<br>and cartoonist. He signed his cartoons "Henry Anton" because his brother William<br>was working as a cartoonist at the same time, for many of the same magazines.<br>From about 1932 to 1936, Henry Anton cartoons appeared in Life, Judge, New<br>Yorker and other magazines.<br><br>Steig began a writing career in 1935 that lasted until about 1947. He became<br>very successful and well known as a short story writer, with stories appearing<br>regularly in Saturday Evening Post, New Yorker, Esquire, Colliers and others.<br>They were often humorous tales about jazz and the jazz musicians who populated<br>the world of music in the roaring twenties. Other stories were about his Bronx<br>childhood. He also wrote nonfiction magazine pieces, including a New Yorker<br>profile of Benny Goodmon and jazz criticism. Several of his nonfiction articles<br>were illustrated by William Steig.<br><br>In 1941 , Alfred A. Knopf published Henry Steig's novel, Send Me Down. The<br>story, told with absolute realism, is about two brothers who become jazz<br>musicians in the twenties. On the book jacket, Steig wrote, "Much of the<br>material for Send Me Down was gathered during my years as a jazz musician<br>playing with local jazz bands and with itinerant groups in vaudeville and on<br>dance hall tour engagements. Although I was only second-rate as a musician, I<br>know my subject from the inside, and I believe I was the first to write stories<br>about jazz musicians, based on actual personal experience." His son, Michael,<br>recalls that there was some interest in making a movie of the book. "My father<br>told me that John Garfield wanted to play the lead character."<br><br>Steig did go to Hollywood in 1941, under contract to write screenplays. He was<br>going to work with Johnny Mercer, the songwriter. After the ing of Pearl Harbor<br>on December 7, he returned to New York. "He undoubtedly would have returned<br>anyway," says Michael Steig. "He was not happy with the contract his agent had<br>negotiated for him." Mischa Richter odds, "Henry was very unimpressed with<br>Hollywood."

헨리 스타이그(1906-1973) 미드 센추리 모더니스트 스털링 핀(2). 두 종류의 핀 중 하나(둘 다 서명됨)를 판매합니다. 50~60년대에 그에게서 직접 구입한 중요한 Henry Steig 주얼리 컬렉션의 일부로 제가 제공할 수 있는 행운을 누리고 있습니다. 자수정 2.75" x .75인치 펄 2.75" x 5/8" 19.총 무게는 2g입니다. Jules Brenner와 Henry Steig는 아방가르드를 찬양하고 전통적인 주얼리 형태를 거부하며 지적이고 자유주의적인 중산층. Jules Brenner는 브롱크스에서 태어나 워싱턴 하이츠에서 자랐으며 그리니치 빌리지에서 Stella Adler와 함께 연기를 공부하고 회화와 조각을 공부했습니다. Henry Steig(Henry Anton으로도 알려짐)는 City College와 National Academy of Design에서 공부했으며 뉴욕시 재즈 음악가, 작가, 소설가, 만화가 및 화가로 경력을 시작했습니다. 1950년대에 Brenner와 Steig는 맨해튼과 매사추세츠 주 프로빈스타운(당시 저명한 예술가들의 거주지)에서 상점과 스튜디오를 운영했으며, 그곳에서 종종 생물 형태, 초현실주의, 입체파 및 기하학적 형태를 강조하는 손으로 만든 은색과 금색 디자인을 판매했습니다.영화 7년만의 외출에 나오는 마릴린 먼로가 뉴욕 보도에 서 있는 유명한 사진을 누구나 알고 있습니다. 그녀의 치마는 아래 지하철 격자판의 상승 기류에 의해 날아갑니다. 그러나 그 순간 그녀가 590 Lexington Avenue에 있는 Henry Steig의 보석상 앞에 서 있었다는 사실을 모든 사람이 아는 것은 아닙니다.헨리 스타이그(Henry Steig)는 많은 재능을 가진 사람이었습니다. 그는 보석상이 되기 전에는 재즈 음악가, 화가, 조각가, 상업 예술가, 만화가, 사진가, 단편 작가, 소설가였습니다.스타이그의 좋은 친구이자 프로빈스타운의 이웃이었던 뉴요커 만화가 미샤 리히터(Mischa Richter)는 "헨리는 르네상스 사람이었습니다."라고 말합니다.헨리 아니온 스타이그(Henry Anion Steig)는 1906년 2월 19일 뉴욕에서 태어났습니다. 그의 부모인 조셉(Joseph)과 로라(Laura)는 세기의 전환기에 당시 오스트리아-헝가리 제국의 폴란드 항구에 있던 Lvov(독일어로 Lemberg라고 함)에서 미국으로 왔습니다. Joseph은 집 페인트공이었고 Laura는 재봉사였습니다.그들에게는 어윈(Irwin), 헨리(Henry), 윌리엄(William), 아서(Arthur)라는 네 명의 아들이 있었는데, 모두 다재다능하고 재능이 있으며 예술적이었습니다. 윌리엄 스타이그(William Steig)는 뉴요커의 유명한 만화가이자 아동 도서 작가이자 일러스트레이터입니다. 어윈은 뉴요커(New Yorker)에 단편 소설을 쓰는 작가였습니다. Arthur는 New Republic 및 Poetry 잡지에 시를 게재한 화가이자 시인이었습니다.William Steig는 이렇게 회상합니다. "저의 아버지와 어머니는 아들이 성장한 후 가리키기 시작했고 전시 예술가가 되었습니다." 1945년 5월 14일자 Newsweek 잡지에는 New Art Circle 갤러리에서 열린 "아마도 Art Row(57번가)에서 열린 첫 번째 가족 전시회"라는 전시회에 대한 기사가 게재되었습니다. 그것은 "The Eight Performing Steigs, Artists All"라고 불렸습니다." 여기에는 Joseph과 Laura Steig의 그림, William의 그림과 조각, 그의 아내 Liza의 그림, Arthur와 그의 아내 Aurora의 그림, Henry의 사진과 그의 아내 Mimi의 그림이 포함되었습니다. 포함되지 않은 유일한 형제는 당시 코네티컷 비누 제조업체의 광고 관리자로 일하고 있던 "유일한 비순응주의자 Steig"인 Irwin이었습니다.기사에서 "형제들은 가족 모두가 서로의 작품을 좋아하기 때문에 좋은 예술가들이 많다고 생각합니다… 그것에 대해 신이 납니다. 누구든 시작할 때마다 많은 격려를 받습니다. Joseph Steig는 '회화는 전염되는 것입니다. 당신이 우리 환경에 살았다면 아마도 지적했을 것입니다.'"Henry Steig는 이러한 특별한 환경에서 자랐습니다. 가족은 브롱크스에 살았습니다. 고등학교를 졸업한 후 Henry Steig는 City College(CCNY)에 진학했습니다. 3년 후 그는 국립 디자인 아카데미(National Academy of Design)에서 회화와 조각을 공부하기 위해 떠났습니다. 그는 또한 색소폰, 바이올린, 클래식 기타를 연주하는 뛰어난 음악가였으며, 대학에 있는 동안 재즈 음악가로 활동하기 시작했습니다. 16세였던 1922년경부터 1932년까지 그는 현지 댄스 밴드와 함께 리드 악기를 연주했습니다.국립 아카데미에서 4년을 보낸 후 Steig는 상업 예술가이자 만화가로 일했습니다. 그의 형제 William이 동시에 많은 동일한 잡지에서 만화가로 일하고 있었기 때문에 그는 자신의 만화 "Henry Anton"에 서명했습니다. 1932년부터 1936년까지 Henry Anton 만화는 Life, Judge, New Yorker 및 기타 잡지에 게재되었습니다.Steig는 1935년에 글쓰기 경력을 시작하여 1947년경까지 지속되었습니다. 그는 Saturday Evening Post, New Yorker, Esquire, Colliers 등에 정기적으로 기사를 게재하면서 매우 성공했고 단편 작가로 잘 알려졌습니다. 그것은 종종 광란의 20년대에 음악계를 풍미했던 재즈와 재즈 음악가들에 대한 유머러스한 이야기였습니다. 다른 이야기는 그의 브롱스 어린 시절에 관한 것이었습니다. 그는 또한 Benny Goodmon의 New Yorker 프로필과 재즈 비평을 포함하여 논픽션 잡지 기사를 썼습니다. 그의 논픽션 기사 중 일부는 William Steig의 그림을 그렸습니다.1941년에 Alfred A. Knopf는 Henry Steig의 소설 Send Me Down을 출판했습니다. 20대에 재즈 뮤지션이 된 두 형제에 대한 이야기를 절대적인 사실감으로 전달합니다. 책 표지에 Steig는 "Send Me Down의 대부분의 자료는 내가 지역 재즈 밴드와 보드빌 순회 그룹 및 댄스홀 투어에서 연주하는 재즈 뮤지션으로 활동하는 동안 수집되었습니다."라고 썼습니다. 나는 음악가로서 이류에 불과했지만 내 주제를 속으로 알고 있으며 실제 개인적인 경험을 바탕으로 재즈 음악가에 대한 이야기를 쓴 최초의 사람이라고 생각합니다." 그의 아들 마이클은 책을 영화로 만드는 데 관심이 있었다고 회상합니다. "아버지는 존 가필드가 주연을 맡고 싶다고 말씀하셨어요."Steig는 1941년에 각본을 쓰기로 계약을 맺고 할리우드로 떠났습니다. 그는 작곡가인 조니 머서(Johnny Mercer)와 함께 작업할 예정이었습니다. 12월 7일 진주만 공격 이후 그는 뉴욕으로 돌아왔다. Michael Steig는 "그는 의심할 바 없이 돌아왔을 것입니다."라고 말했습니다. "그는 자신의 에이전트가 협상한 계약에 만족하지 않았습니다." 미샤 리히터(Mischa Richter) 확률, "헨리는 할리우드에 별로 감명을 받지 못했습니다."

1960's Orb Mid Century Modern Brooch Otto Robert Bade 3" wide with no bends or<br>dents.<br><br>Otto R. Bade<br>A self taught silversmith, whose roots originate from a farm in Nebraska. Otto,<br>who had visited his grandfather to visit the 1940 World's Fair, realized that he<br>did not want to pursue the life of a farmer so, in 1941, he went to New York to<br>discover his future. He answered just one employment ad and showed up for the<br>interview. Frank (Francisco) Rebajes explained that he was looking for someone<br>to take his studio art pieces and increase production capability. He said to<br>Otto "See what you can do" and handed Otto one of his favorite pieces, the<br>"Ubangi Face". At the end of the day Frank was amazed. Otto had created some<br>jigs and a process to mass produce Franks art. Otto made in just one day, one<br>hundred perfect Ubangi Face sculptured pins. Frank knew then that his dream to<br>provide wearable art to the masses would now be realized.<br><br>Frank Rebajes was considered the first master in the art of copper jewelry and<br>crafts and Otto was the Foreman that insured the designs were artfully and<br>masterfully produced. More importantly Frank and Otto enjoyed a friendship that<br>would last a lifetime.<br><br>Rebajes Wearable Art was one of the top Jewelry producers in the 1940s and 50s<br>with hundreds of top stores accross the nation carrying the line. Otto, now with<br>decades of silversmithing skills left the company and started his own business<br>"Orb Originals" in 1958 with much success. Frank sold the Rebajes name and<br>business to Otto in 1960 and moved to Spain where he returned to small studio<br>work and his scientific research of the "Mobius".<br><br>With Otto's business growing, he had added the workshop, machinery, and catalog<br>designs from Rebajes. Business kept on growing and going quite well, until in<br>1981, when Otto was held up and severely pistol whipped leaving him in critical<br>condition. After a long recovery from the injuries, Otto and his wife Dae moved<br>to New Hope, PA.<br><br>Orb Silvermiths remains a staple to the community of New Hope, PA to this day.<br>Otto, now well into his nineties, is still instrumental in ensuring that the<br>Rebajes hallmark carries on with the traditions and craftsmanship that made the<br>Rebajes name so famous and sought after for over eighty years.

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".

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.

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.

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

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.

* Carl McConnell / Pinjarra Pottery 4" tall x 3.5" wide. All with no damage or<br>wear.<br><br><br><br>Carl McConnell (1926-2003) was born in Chicago. 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- ). He studied art at the Brisbane<br>Technical College, becoming interested in ceramics, setting up a studio in<br>Norman Park in 1954, and moving to the Pinjarra Hills in 1959. He taught at the<br>College from 1958-1963, resigning to become a full-time potter a year or so<br>after losing the position of Head of Pottery to Milton Moon. He taught again at<br>the College from 1971-74 and ceased working as a potter in 1983.

Miguel Martinez Rancho Alegre Sterling silver turquoise Chile pin 2.5" wide x 1.25" tall x 14 grams with no issues. Martinez started his career designing for Emma Melendez in Taxco in the early 1950s before becoming the head designer at Rancho Alegre in the mid 1950s to the late 1960s, and he has continued to design great things ever since. He is a designer not a silversmith, so his pieces can have marks from several different workshops. Often, not always, his pieces are also marked "Miguel", but many of his pieces from the 1950s from Rancho Alegre don't have the extra designer mark. However, his pieces are readily recognizable by the strength of the design!
