Vintage SG Initial High grade turquoise Elias sterling modernist belt buckle Solid sterling, no issues, circa 1970‘s. Weight and measurements in pics. I feel like this stone is worth more than I‘m asking for the buckle, not sure which mine it‘s from but it‘s a good one. I‘m not certain it‘s not high grade Bisbee. Marked or unmarked as shown in pics, weight and other measurements in pics. Older Native American jewelry is typically unmarked. If I call it Silver or Ingot I‘m guaranteeing it to be 90% or more silver. This isn‘t something I get confused about. Sorry but my jewelry is stored in a secure location and cannot be accessed for more pictures, videos, or measurements until sold. If you look at pictures/description your question should be answered. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Carmen Beckmann sold jewelry from a shop she owned and operated out of her home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico from the 1950’s through the 1970’s. Experts believe her jewelry was produced by multiple silversmiths and her hallmark affixed to the jewelry.Her work often draws on pre-Columbian designs presented in modernist contexts. She is known for necklaces, rings, pins, brooches, and earrings that employ silver and copper decorated with jade and other semi-precious stones.It is not entirely clear what role she played in the design of work she sold, but her mark on sterling silver jewelry indicates a collectible piece.

Niels Erik From Sterling Denmark MCM Atomoic Jewelry Set. Ring and bracelet sizes in pics. Hand and penny pics for scaleDanish 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 .

If you look at pictures/description your<br>question should be answered. Thank you so much for your time and consideration! If you would like to chat, that would be great, but lets chat about something that isn't answered in this listing that we put so much effort into already :)=  All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn't an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I've seen thousands of pieces xrf'd to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women's wrist. Most rings are shown on a a ring sizer in the pictures and the size is typically given at the beginning of the title and description. Size 9 Ring.

Frances Holmes Boothby modernist sterling silver abstract belt buckle. Fits up to a 1.25" belt. Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver with weight and measurements in pictures. Fully functional, with no issues. Circa third quarter of the 20th century. Frances Holmes Boothby (19192000) created unique modernist jewelry for nearly four decades, from the mid-1940s to the early 1980s. In addition to traditional modernist geometric and abstract designs, she made unique, whimsical pieces inspired by cartoons, including the Bird and Animal series. Working primarily in sterling silver, Frances sometimes used gold, brass, wood, resin, natural stones, pearls, and glass. She signed her pieces with the capital letters STERLING and the lowercase initials fhb. Undoubtedly, Frances Holmes Boothby made a significant contribution to the American wearable art movement through her exhibitions and teaching of jewelry making. For example, in 1948, she first presented her work at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. As early as 1955, she opened a studio in New York where she created her jewelry and taught jewelry making. According to 1958 newspaper ad, Frances Holmes Boothby exhibited her jewelry at New York State Fair. Later, Frances handcrafted jewelry in her Silver Workshop in Weston, Vermont, where she was active until the early 1980s. Frances Holmes Boothby died at the age of 80 in Sedona, Arizona. Made in limited quantities, today the artists works can be found both in the collections of lovers of modernist and vintage jewelry, and in national art galleries.

Antonio Pineda (1919-2009) Taxco Hammered silver leaf form bracelet, measurements in pics.  7" long with no issues. Antonio Pineda (1919-2009)In the mountain town of Taxco in Mexico’s state of Guerrero,<br>large-scale mining can be dated to thesixteenth century, and silver is a way of<br>life. In the years following the Mexican Revolution (1910–20), jewelry and other<br>silver objects were crafted there with an entirely innovative approach,<br>informedby modernism and the creation of a new Mexican national identity. Today,<br>at the age of 89, AntonioPineda is one of two living members of the Taxco School<br>and is recognized as a world-class designerand a Mexican national treasure.<br>Nearly two hundred examples of Pineda’s acclaimed silver work willbe displayed<br>in Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda, a<br>travelingexhibition debuting at the Fowler Museum Aug. 24, 2008.Significantly,<br>given Pineda’s many accomplishments and international renown, he identifies<br>himselfprimarily as a taxqueño, or Taxco, silversmith. From its inception, the<br>Taxco movement broke newground in technical achievement and design. While<br>American-born, Taxco-based designer WilliamSpratling has been credited with<br>spearheading the contemporary Taxco silver movement, it was agroup of talented<br>Mexican designers who went on to establish independent workshops and develop<br>thedistinctive “Taxco School.” These designers incorporated numerous aesthetic<br>orientations—Pre-Columbian art; silverwork, images, and other artwork from the<br>Mexican Colonial period; andlocal popular arts—merging them within the broad<br>spectrum of modernism.Pineda himself is lauded for his bold designs and<br>ingenious use of gemstones. Silver Seduction tracesthe evolution of his work<br>from the 1930s–70s, and includes more than fifty each of necklaces andbracelets,<br>as well as numerous beautiful rings, earrings and diverse examples of his<br>hollowware andtableware. All of the works feature Pineda’s hard-to-achieve<br>combination of highly refined and hand-wrought appeal.Pineda’s jewelry is<br>especially known for its elegant acknowledgment of the human form. It is<br>oftensaid that a Pineda fits the body perfectly, that it feels right when it is<br>worn. So, for example, a thickgeometric necklace that might at first glance seem<br>too weighty or rigid to wear comfortably is, in fact,faceted, hinged, or<br>hollowed in such a way that it gracefully encircles the neck or drapes<br>seductivelydown the décolletage.In addition, no other taxqueño jeweler used as<br>many costly semiprecious stones or set them with asmuch ingenuity, skill, and<br>variety as did Pineda. Only the most talented of silversmiths could master

Frank Patania, Sr. (1899-1964), a silversmith of international renown, established the iconic Thunderbird Studio in Santa Fe. His exceptional work remains highly coveted by collectors with a deep appreciation for Southwestern artistry. Beyond his own creations, Patania played a pivotal role in elevating the craft of Native American silversmiths, generously sharing his expertise in gemstone setting and other intricate techniques. He fostered the talents of Pueblo artisans like Julian Lovato of Santo Domingo and Louis Lamay of Hopi, serving as both mentor and employer. Though born in Sicily, Patania‘s profound influence on the Santa Fe art scene took root in the 1950s, leaving an indelible mark on the region‘s artistic heritage.

Retro Robert Farrell Sterling sodalite post modernist bracelet 7" long bracelet, weight and measurements in pics. I believe these danglies were added by the last owner, it tooks great with them on but could be easily removed as the jump rings aren‘t soldered. I don‘t think the actual danglies are solid sterling. I don‘t believe the artist that made this bracelet would have used unsoldered jump rings as all of his work I have seen including this bracelet without the danglies is absolute perfection. One of the danglies is missing.I believe Robert made jewelry in the last quarter of the 20th century, I believe now his focus is Architectural sculptures which are fantastic. The quality of workmanship here is way above most studio jewelry in my opinion, I have a feeling it took him quite some time to creat each piece and that‘s why he went on to apply his skills in more lucrative forms.Awards and Honors (*Award)*First Place, Exhibitors Choice Award, Smithsonian Craft Show, 2024.*Best of Metal, Philadelphia Craft Show, 2023.*Award of Excellence, Ann Arbor Street Art

Navajo silversmith, Kee Nez, is a member of the Many-Goats clan and is from an artistic family.

He often uses sandcasting techniques to produce each item and many times uses the finest American turquoise or richly colored coral as a focal point on the piece. Kee was featured in Arizona Highways in the article “A New Generation of Indian Artists and has several pieces showcased in the books, Enduring Traditions and Navajo Indian Jewelry by Jerry and Lois Jacka. He has garnered numerous awards at Gallup, New Mexicos Annual Intertribal Ceremonial.

Davis 因其在墨西哥墨西哥城擔任珠寶設計師和銀匠而在收藏家中廣為人知。他於 1920 年代開始設計和製作珠寶和裝飾品。他製作的製品常常反映出他對前哥倫布時代文物的熱愛。他偶爾與瓦倫丁·維達烏雷塔 (Valentín Vidaurreta) 合作，瓦倫丁·維達烏雷塔 (Valentín Vidaurreta) 是另一位紮根於墨西哥城的受人尊敬的墨西哥銀器工匠。戴維斯被認為是其他銀器藝術家的熱情推動者，其中包括 1920 年代至 1950 年代在墨西哥工作的威廉·斯普拉特林 (William Spradling)。 弗雷德里克·戴維斯(Frederick Davis) 珠寶- 歷史戴維斯於1910 年從美國搬到墨西哥。作為索諾拉新聞公司的助理經理，他週遊全國，到火車站商店購買當地的商品為他的雇主提供民間藝術。在旅行期間，他與許多工匠建立了聯繫，他對墨西哥工藝品的了解也廣泛增長。他的熱情工作使他晉升為墨西哥城索諾拉藝術和工藝品陳列室的經理。 後來擔任紐約現代藝術博物館館長的勒內·達農庫特 (René d’Harnoncourt) 於 1927 年受僱於戴維斯擔任助理。他們的共同努力導致該公司發行和展覽了現在眾所周知的墨西哥畫家的作品，例如迭戈·裡維拉（Diego Rivera）等。在這個時代，戴維斯和達農庫特從此在包括銀首飾在內的墨西哥手工藝品貿易中留下了不可磨滅的足跡。 1933 年 d’Harnoncourt 移居美國後，戴維斯在桑伯恩百貨公司擔任古董和精美工藝品管理職務。他在這家商店工作了 20 年，在設計和生產銀器的同時，繼續推廣墨西哥藝術和工匠。戴維斯於 1961 年去世。

H. Fred Skaggs southwestern modernist sterling silver clip-on earrings. Great earrings with no damage or significant wear. Fantastic design and execution, strong springs on clips. Weight and measurements in the pictures. H. Fred Skaggs was a prominent metalsmith who worked in the American Southwest beginning in the mid-1950s. He is also known for inspiring and training other artisans with his knowledge of silversmithing. Some of his pieces display traditional Southwestern designs and elements, while others are purely Modernist in nature. H. Fred Skaggs began his jewelry-making career in 1956. He was part of the community of artists who set up shop in the Lloyd Kiva Craft Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. Kiva‘s vision offered them a place to learn from one another as artisans while plying their respective crafts. Several Native American silversmiths, notably Hopi artisan Charles Loloma, were influenced by Skaggs‘ work. A potter by trade, Loloma was encouraged by and apprenticed to Skaggs, who taught him the art of silversmithing. While most of his jewelry was crafted of silver, Skaggs did work in karat gold occasionally. Given the style of the gold pieces collectors run across, they were likely commissioned by his clientele. Many of his silver jewelry designs were embellished with semi-precious gemstones. Skaggs was active as a jewelry craftsman until he died in 1983.

Margot De Taxco Sterling silver enamel bracelet. No issues, no damage to enamel.<br><br>Margot Van Voorhies was born in 1896 in San Francisco, California. By the time<br>she left her native country for good, she had survived the death of her father<br>in 1903, the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906, the loss of her mother at the<br>hands of a er in 1931 and the end of her first marriage in 1936.<br><br>Fortunately, a Mexican vacation changed the life of Margot Van Voorhies in ways<br>she could never have imagined. In 1937, forty-one-year-old divorcée Margot Van<br>Voorhies left San Francisco on a trip to Mexico City. Fate threw her into the<br>path of Don Antonio Castillo, who took her to Taxco, a Mexican hotbed for the<br>design, crafting, and production of silver objects, in particular jewelry and<br>housewares.<br><br>Soon, Castillo would become Margot’s second husband. At the time, Castillo was<br>working for William Spratling, a pioneer in Mexican silversmithing. He brought<br>Margot into the business as a designer, helping her to transform her paper<br>creations into three-dimensional forms in silver. In 1939, the pair, along with<br>other members of Castillo’s family, opened shop as Los Castillo Taller [Taller<br>is Spanish for “Workshop”], with Margot as the top designer.<br><br>After ten years, the marriage between Castillo and Van Voorhies dissolved, as<br>did their professional association. Margot went on to open her own shop in 1948,<br>taking the name Margot de Taxco, by which she is best known today. Seven years<br>later, enamel was added to many of her pieces, and this is where Margot found<br>her legacy.<br><br>At the peak of her career, Margot, who designed each piece herself, had two<br>dozen silversmiths and a dozen enamellists in her employ to execute her vision.<br>The men performed the duties as silversmiths; the women did the enamel work,<br>using tiny brushes to bring the watercolor drawings to life. To ensure the<br>accurate rendering of her jewelry designs, she compiled a book of instructions<br>and drawings, detailing the construction and finishing of each. Margot attracted<br>talented craftsmen who later went on to cement their own reputations, such as<br>Sigi Pineda, Miguel Melendez, and Melecio Rodriguez.<br><br>Many contemporary Hollywood celebrities were clients of Margot, including John<br>Wayne and Lana Turner, who visited her shop every year.<br><br>Tragedy struck in the form of a fire in 1960. Forced to move her studio, she<br>never again regained her prior success, and the business folded in 1974. Margot<br>granted several of the silversmiths in her employ permission to use her molds to<br>create pieces on their own, in return for debt forgiveness. As a result, many of<br>Margot’s pieces were re-created by silversmiths such as Jaimie Quiroz and<br>Geronimo Fuentes, bearing their hallmark rather than hers.<br><br>Margot passed away in 1985. But her talent as a designer and her influence as an<br>artist have continued to gain recognition since the time of her death.<br><br>Margot’s shop produced some repousse silver (a technique where a raised or<br>relief design is hammered in from the reverse side of the piece). But she is<br>best known for her champlevé enamel work. Champlevé is created by carving,<br>etching, striking, or casting troughs or cells into the surface of a piece and<br>filling it with vitreous enamel. In Margot’s jewelry, the designs were<br>die-struck, a process that was detailed and critical to the final product.<br><br>Margot produced many suites that included necklaces, brooches, bracelets, and<br>earrings, as well as convertible jewelry. Margot de Taxco jewelry is recognized<br>for its elegance, femininity, and variety.<br><br>There were many areas of influence that can be found in Margot’s work. Her fish<br>and wave motifs celebrated her love of Japanese art. The ornate swirls and<br>floral motifs were reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style. Mischievous<br>pre-Columbian figures were a recurring theme. Art Deco style ballerinas struck<br>graceful poses. Margot was also taken with Egyptian motifs and Mexican crafts.<br><br>Margot de Taxco pieces are distinguished by the stamp that includes her name,<br>Eagle 16 (or Eagle 1, for her earlier works), along with a production number.<br>Issued by the government, the eagle stamp was a way to identify the<br>manufacturer.

1940's Matl Sterling Repousse earrings/brooch. Selling the set shown, earrings were originally screw back and later converted to pierced. All three pieces guaranteed 900 silver or higher content. Brooch 1 5/8" wide, earrings .75" wide, 24.5 grams total weight.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.

6.6" Ramona Loloma modernist sterling silver spiderweb turquoise cuff bracelet. Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver with weight and measurements in pictures. Circa last quarter of the 20th century with some expected age appropriate wear. If no maker is mentioned or mark shown in the pictures please assume this piece is unmarked which is to be expected with older Native American silver jewelry. If it‘s hallmarked and I‘m not familiar with the artist most of the time I will just mention the hallmark with no research/attribution as time is everything in our business. Thank you for looking. Bracelets are shown in the photos with a tape measure inside the bracelet, other photos will typically show the gap size. The size at the beginning of the title includes the gap. Almost all bracelets that don‘t have inlay work should be adjustable by at least .25", please refer to pictures for the gap size to see if it would work if slightly adjusted as the gap would change. Ramona Loloma Poleyma (Hopi) made jewels from 1977 to 1984, she also excels at making rugs. Ramona was born on June 27, 1934 and lives in Hotevilla, Third Mesa Arizona. Ramona, sister of Charles Loloma, were aunt and uncle of Verma Nequatewa and Sherian Honhongva. Apprenticing with Loloma (Nequatewa from 1966, Honhongva from 1976), the sisters worked with him until his retirement in the late 80s. Their sense of continuity with and difference from him was reflected in the name they chose to share when they began to exhibit together in 1989: Sonwai is the feminine form of the Hopi word for “beauty (the masculine being “loloma). Around 1993 the sisters began to work independently. Nequatewa continued with the Sonwai name, while Honhongva used her own name.

He<br>explained for North American audiences the paintings of Mexico's modern masters<br>and earned distinction as a learned and early collector of pre-Columbian art.<br>Spratling and his workshop gradually became a visible and culturally attractive<br>link between a steady stream of notable American visitors and the country they<br>wanted to see and experience.

Henry Steig (1906-1973) 現代主義純銀自由形狀螺旋耳環 (3) 一對。 出售所示 3 雙，最大的 1 雙。25 英吋長，19。總共7克。 Jules Brenner 和 Henry Steig 是紐約中世紀工作室珠寶商中的一員，他們手工製作可佩戴的藝術品，頌揚前衛，拒絕傳統珠寶形式，並吸引知識分子和時尚人士。自由派中產階級。 朱爾斯·布倫納出生於布朗克斯，在華盛頓高地長大，師從斯特拉·阿德勒學習表演，並在格林威治村學習繪畫和雕塑。 亨利·斯泰格（Henry Steig，又名亨利·安東）曾就讀於城市學院和國家設計學院，並開始了他作為紐約市爵士音樂家、作家、小說家、漫畫家和畫家的職業生涯。 1950 年代，布倫納和斯泰格在曼哈頓和馬薩諸塞州普羅溫斯敦（當時是著名藝術家的飛地）經營商店和工作室，在那裡出售手工製作的銀和金設計，這些設計通常強調生物形態、超現實主義、立體主義和幾何形式。大家都知道電影《七年之癢》中的著名畫面，瑪麗蓮夢露站在紐約人行道上，她的裙子被下面地鐵格柵的上升氣流吹起。 然而，並不是所有人都知道，此時她正站在列剋星敦大道 590 號亨利·斯泰格 (Henry Steig) 的珠寶店前。亨利‧史泰格 (Henry Steig) 是一位多才多藝的人。 在成為珠寶商之前，他是一位爵士音樂家、畫家、雕塑家、商業藝術家、漫畫家、攝影師、短篇小說作家和小說家。「亨利是一位文藝復興時期的人，」《紐約客》漫畫家米莎·里克特(Mischa Richter) 說道，他是施泰格的好朋友，也是普羅溫斯敦的鄰居。Henry Anion Steig 於 1906 年 2 月 19 日出生於紐約市。 他的父母約瑟夫和勞拉在世紀之交從利沃夫（德語稱為倫貝格）來到美國，當時利沃夫位於奧匈帝國的波蘭港口。 約瑟夫是一名房屋油漆工，勞拉是一名裁縫師。他們有四個兒子：歐文、亨利、威廉和亞瑟，他們多才多藝、才華橫溢、富有藝術天賦。 威廉史泰格（William Steig）是著名的《紐約客》漫畫家和兒童讀物作家兼插畫家。 歐文是《紐約客》的短篇小說作家。 亞瑟是一位畫家和詩人，他的詩作發表在《新共和》和《詩歌》雜誌。William Steig 回憶道：「我的父親和母親在兒子長大後都開始指點並成為展覽藝術家。1945 年 5 月 14 日，《新聞周刊》雜誌發表了一篇關於在新藝術圈畫廊舉辦的展覽的文章，「可能是藝術街（第 57 街）的第一場家庭展覽」。 它被稱為“八位表演史泰格，藝術家全部。”其中包括約瑟夫和勞拉·斯泰格的畫作；威廉的繪畫和雕塑以及他的妻子麗莎的畫作；亞瑟和他的妻子奧羅拉的畫作；以及亨利的照片和他的妻子咪咪的畫作。 唯一沒有包括在內的兄弟是歐文，“唯一不墨守成規的施泰格”，當時他在康涅狄格州一家肥皂製造商擔任廣告經理。在文章中，「兄弟倆將家族中眾多優秀藝術家歸因於我們都喜歡彼此的作品…對此感到興奮。 每當有人開始時，他們都會得到很多鼓勵。 約瑟夫‧斯泰格補充說：「繪畫是一種具有感染力的東西。 如果您生活在我們的環境中，您可能會指出。'"Henry Steig 在這種非凡的環境中長大。 這家人住在布朗克斯。 高中畢業後，Henry Steig 進入城市學院 (CCNY)。 三年後，他前往國家設計學院學習繪畫和雕塑。 他也是一位多才多藝的音樂家，演奏薩克斯風、小提琴和古典吉他，在大學期間，他開始擔任爵士音樂家。 大約從 1922 年（當時年僅 16 歲）開始，直到 1932 年，他與當地舞蹈樂隊一起演奏簧片樂器。在國家學院學習四年後，Steig 成為商業藝術家和漫畫家。 他在自己的漫畫上署名“亨利·安東”，因為他的兄弟威廉同時也是一名漫畫家，為許多相同的雜誌工作。 大約從1932年到1936年，亨利·安東的漫畫出現在《生活》、《法官》、《紐約客》等雜誌上。Steig 於 1935 年開始寫作生涯，一直持續到 1947 年左右。 他作為短篇小說作家非常成功且廣為人知，他的故事定期出現在《週六晚郵報》、《紐約客》、《時尚先生》、《高力報》等雜誌上。 它們通常是關於爵士樂和爵士樂音樂家的幽默故事，他們在蓬勃發展的二十年代音樂世界中佔據一席之地。 其他故事是關於他在布朗克斯的童年。 他也撰寫非小說類雜誌文章，包括《紐約客》對班尼古德蒙的簡介和爵士樂評論。 他的幾篇非小說類文章由威廉史泰格 (William Steig) 繪製插圖。1941 年，阿爾弗雷德 A. 克諾夫出版了亨利‧史泰格的小說《送我下來》。 這個故事以絕對現實主義的方式講述，講述了兩兄弟在二十多歲時成為爵士音樂家的故事。 史泰格在書封皮上寫道：「《送我下來》的大部分材料都是在我作為爵士音樂家與當地爵士樂隊、歌舞雜耍和舞廳巡演活動中的巡迴團體一起演奏時收集的。 雖然我作為一個音樂家只是二流，但我從內部了解我的主題，我相信我是第一個根據個人實際經歷寫爵士樂故事的人。「他的兒子麥可回憶說，當時有人有興趣將這本書拍成電影。 「我父親告訴我約翰·加菲爾德想扮演主角。「Steig 確實於 1941 年前往好萊塢，簽訂了編劇合約。 他將與詞曲作者約翰尼·默瑟合作。 12月7日珍珠港事件後，他返回紐約。 「無論如何，他無疑會回來，」邁克爾·施泰格說。 「他對經紀人為他談判的合約並不滿意。」 米莎·里克特 (Mischa Richter) 表示，「亨利對好萊塢非常不以為然。」

Vintage Matl/Salas Sterling Turquoise Amethyst pin. Designed by Matilde Poulat (AKA "Matl" (Aztec for "Water") who is & always will be one of my personal favorites that made her fame during the "Mexican Silver Renaissance Days" & later..She was a painter & designer 1st & was born in the Yucatan & later on went to study at the San Carlos Academy in Mexico City at the same time the famous muralist & husband to Frida Kahlo,Diego Rivera was studying there..One of her 1st teachers was a "P.OCHOA",a man whose works you rarely come across & you will find Matl's earliest works,emulating Ochoa's,which was nothing like the style she ended up owning.She opened shop in 1934 & ended up having her own 'signature look",which to this day people still pay homage to her designs.She produced some of the most ornate jewelry that was being produced in Mexico back in the day..The inspirations she fell back on were inspired from the Mixtec people of Monte Alban, Oaxaca area. Each designer during the Mexican Silver Renaissance days had their own unique style,but it was Matilde,who brought the beautiful motifs of doves, flowers, and tiny bells that are reminiscent of the whimsical subjects of contemporary Mexican folk art...The beauty of her metal work,was so time consuming & was considered Baroque in style with a undeniably "Mexican"look..She was known for laying round turquoise or coral cabochons all in one bezel that was then crimped' to hold the stones in,rather than setting them individually & you will see the perfect example of this style in this pin,which gives her piece's a whole different look,because of this. Another one of her signature styles was her time consuming 'chasing' work in the metal,as well as using 'pyramidal' cuts of amethyst.Every piece made are works of art..She is highly collectible!! She taught her nephew Ricardo Salas the art of jewelry making & taught him her style that was signature to only her & worked side by side her till her death in 1960 & while continuing to stay true & keep her style alive till his death in 2007.

Margot De Taxco 5740 Sterling Pendant/pin and earrings set. Pin has loops and a hook to fix onto a necklace if wanted. Measurements in pics. 23.4 grams. No issues.Margot Van Voorhies was born in 1896 in San Francisco, California. By the time<br>she left her native country for good, she had survived the death of her father<br>in 1903, the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906, the loss of her mother at the<br>hands of a er in 1931 and the end of her first marriage in 1936.<br><br>Fortunately, a Mexican vacation changed the life of Margot Van Voorhies in ways<br>she could never have imagined. In 1937, forty-one-year-old divorcée Margot Van<br>Voorhies left San Francisco on a trip to Mexico City. Fate threw her into the<br>path of Don Antonio Castillo, who took her to Taxco, a Mexican hotbed for the<br>design, crafting, and production of silver objects, in particular jewelry and<br>housewares.<br><br>Soon, Castillo would become Margot’s second husband. At the time, Castillo was<br>working for William Spratling, a pioneer in Mexican silversmithing. He brought<br>Margot into the business as a designer, helping her to transform her paper<br>creations into three-dimensional forms in silver. In 1939, the pair, along with<br>other members of Castillo’s family, opened shop as Los Castillo Taller [Taller<br>is Spanish for “Workshop”], with Margot as the top designer.<br><br>After ten years, the marriage between Castillo and Van Voorhies dissolved, as<br>did their professional association. Margot went on to open her own shop in 1948,<br>taking the name Margot de Taxco, by which she is best known today. Seven years<br>later, enamel was added to many of her pieces, and this is where Margot found<br>her legacy.<br><br>At the peak of her career, Margot, who designed each piece herself, had two<br>dozen silversmiths and a dozen enamellists in her employ to execute her vision.<br>The men performed the duties as silversmiths; the women did the enamel work,<br>using tiny brushes to bring the watercolor drawings to life. To ensure the<br>accurate rendering of her jewelry designs, she compiled a book of instructions<br>and drawings, detailing the construction and finishing of each. Margot attracted<br>talented craftsmen who later went on to cement their own reputations, such as<br>Sigi Pineda, Miguel Melendez, and Melecio Rodriguez.<br><br>Many contemporary Hollywood celebrities were clients of Margot, including John<br>Wayne and Lana Turner, who visited her shop every year.<br><br>Tragedy struck in the form of a fire in 1960. Forced to move her studio, she<br>never again regained her prior success, and the business folded in 1974. Margot<br>granted several of the silversmiths in her employ permission to use her molds to<br>create pieces on their own, in return for debt forgiveness. As a result, many of<br>Margot’s pieces were re-created by silversmiths such as Jaimie Quiroz and<br>Geronimo Fuentes, bearing their hallmark rather than hers.<br><br>Margot passed away in 1985. But her talent as a designer and her influence as an<br>artist have continued to gain recognition since the time of her death.<br><br>Margot’s shop produced some repousse silver (a technique where a raised or<br>relief design is hammered in from the reverse side of the piece). But she is<br>best known for her champlevé enamel work. Champlevé is created by carving,<br>etching, striking, or casting troughs or cells into the surface of a piece and<br>filling it with vitreous enamel. In Margot’s jewelry, the designs were<br>die-struck, a process that was detailed and critical to the final product.<br><br>Margot produced many suites that included necklaces, brooches, bracelets, and<br>earrings, as well as convertible jewelry. Margot de Taxco jewelry is recognized<br>for its elegance, femininity, and variety.<br><br>There were many areas of influence that can be found in Margot’s work. Her fish<br>and wave motifs celebrated her love of Japanese art. The ornate swirls and<br>floral motifs were reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style. Mischievous<br>pre-Columbian figures were a recurring theme. Art Deco style ballerinas struck<br>graceful poses. Margot was also taken with Egyptian motifs and Mexican crafts.<br><br>Margot de Taxco pieces are distinguished by the stamp that includes her name,<br>Eagle 16 (or Eagle 1, for her earlier works), along with a production number.<br>Issued by the government, the eagle stamp was a way to identify th

Large Los Ballesteros Modernist Sterling Cuff Bracelet. Great cuff with no damage or significant wear.Los Ballesteros Jewelry - History This business was established in 1937 by Jalil Majul Ballesteros in Iguala, Mexico. He had been apprenticed in the art of silversmithing by his grandfather and father, and early on, he made jewelry with a filigree look. In 1941 he moved his workshop to Taxco and adopted styles that were more in line with the tourist pieces produced there.During the 1950s, piecework was farmed out to smaller family workshops in the Taxco area, and the pieces were marked Talleres de los Ballesteros. These pieces were sold in shops throughout the country, including Mexico City and Acapulco. The company also began exporting jewelry in 1952.A modernized corporate version of Los Ballesteros continues to sell its products, both jewelry, and decorative giftware, through stores in Mexico as well as through other vendors worldwide. The company’s commitment to quality in honor of their heritage is strong, and they are still using the traditional Talleres de los Ballesteros stylized B logo in their branding.

Georg Jensen Acorn sterling Nutracker with stainless steel cracker. Sterling handle with stainless "cracker" part.. No damage or significant wear, vintage set. Measurements shown in one of the pictures. No monograms or monogram removals. Designed in 1915 by Johan Rohde, the Acorn sterling silver cutlery pattern represents the early foundation of Georg Jensens organic and timeless design language. In contrast to the Art Nouveau style of the early 1900s, Acorns design captures a classic, understated style where decoration is used to emphasise the form and shape. Regarded as both a sumptuous and noble pattern, Acorn at one time had 220 individual pieces. Todays range totals approximately 75 pieces and remains one of Georg Jensens most exclusive silver cutlery patterns. silverdrawer

Henry Steig (1906-1973) 現代主義純銀自由形狀別針和螺絲背耳環套裝 2 5/8" x 2 1/8"，耳環 1"。 總重14克。 Jules Brenner 和 Henry Steig 是紐約中世紀工作室珠寶商中的一員，他們手工製作可佩戴的藝術品，頌揚前衛，拒絕傳統珠寶形式，並吸引知識分子和時尚人士。自由派中產階級。 朱爾斯·布倫納出生於布朗克斯，在華盛頓高地長大，師從斯特拉·阿德勒學習表演，並在格林威治村學習繪畫和雕塑。 亨利·斯泰格（Henry Steig，又名亨利·安東）曾就讀於城市學院和國家設計學院，並開始了他作為紐約市爵士音樂家、作家、小說家、漫畫家和畫家的職業生涯。 1950 年代，布倫納和斯泰格在曼哈頓和馬薩諸塞州普羅溫斯敦（當時是著名藝術家的飛地）經營商店和工作室，在那裡出售手工製作的銀和金設計，這些設計通常強調生物形態、超現實主義、立體主義和幾何形式。大家都知道電影《七年之癢》中的著名畫面，瑪麗蓮夢露站在紐約人行道上，她的裙子被下面地鐵格柵的上升氣流吹起。 然而，並不是所有人都知道，此時她正站在列剋星敦大道 590 號亨利·斯泰格 (Henry Steig) 的珠寶店前。亨利‧史泰格 (Henry Steig) 是一位多才多藝的人。 在成為珠寶商之前，他是一位爵士音樂家、畫家、雕塑家、商業藝術家、漫畫家、攝影師、短篇小說作家和小說家。「亨利是一位文藝復興時期的人，」《紐約客》漫畫家米莎·里克特(Mischa Richter) 說道，他是施泰格的好朋友，也是普羅溫斯敦的鄰居。Henry Anion Steig 於 1906 年 2 月 19 日出生於紐約市。 他的父母約瑟夫和勞拉在世紀之交從利沃夫（德語稱為倫貝格）來到美國，當時利沃夫位於奧匈帝國的波蘭港口。 約瑟夫是一名房屋油漆工，勞拉是一名裁縫師。他們有四個兒子：歐文、亨利、威廉和亞瑟，他們多才多藝、才華橫溢、富有藝術天賦。 威廉史泰格（William Steig）是著名的《紐約客》漫畫家和兒童讀物作家兼插畫家。 歐文是《紐約客》的短篇小說作家。 亞瑟是一位畫家和詩人，他的詩作發表在《新共和》和《詩歌》雜誌。William Steig 回憶道：「我的父親和母親在兒子長大後都開始指點並成為展覽藝術家。1945 年 5 月 14 日，《新聞周刊》雜誌發表了一篇關於在新藝術圈畫廊舉辦的展覽的文章，「可能是藝術街（第 57 街）的第一場家庭展覽」。 它被稱為“八位表演史泰格，藝術家全部。”其中包括約瑟夫和勞拉·斯泰格的畫作；威廉的繪畫和雕塑以及他的妻子麗莎的畫作；亞瑟和他的妻子奧羅拉的畫作；以及亨利的照片和他的妻子咪咪的畫作。 唯一沒有包括在內的兄弟是歐文，“唯一不墨守成規的施泰格”，當時他在康涅狄格州一家肥皂製造商擔任廣告經理。在文章中，「兄弟倆將家族中眾多優秀藝術家歸因於我們都喜歡彼此的作品…對此感到興奮。 每當有人開始時，他們都會得到很多鼓勵。 約瑟夫‧斯泰格補充說：「繪畫是一種具有感染力的東西。 如果您生活在我們的環境中，您可能會指出。'"Henry Steig 在這種非凡的環境中長大。 這家人住在布朗克斯。 高中畢業後，Henry Steig 進入城市學院 (CCNY)。 三年後，他前往國家設計學院學習繪畫和雕塑。 他也是一位多才多藝的音樂家，演奏薩克斯風、小提琴和古典吉他，在大學期間，他開始擔任爵士音樂家。 大約從 1922 年（當時年僅 16 歲）開始，直到 1932 年，他與當地舞蹈樂隊一起演奏簧片樂器。在國家學院學習四年後，Steig 成為商業藝術家和漫畫家。 他在自己的漫畫上署名“亨利·安東”，因為他的兄弟威廉同時也是一名漫畫家，為許多相同的雜誌工作。 大約從1932年到1936年，亨利·安東的漫畫出現在《生活》、《法官》、《紐約客》等雜誌上。Steig 於 1935 年開始寫作生涯，一直持續到 1947 年左右。 他作為短篇小說作家非常成功且廣為人知，他的故事定期出現在《週六晚郵報》、《紐約客》、《時尚先生》、《高力報》等雜誌上。 它們通常是關於爵士樂和爵士樂音樂家的幽默故事，他們在蓬勃發展的二十年代音樂世界中佔據一席之地。 其他故事是關於他在布朗克斯的童年。 他也撰寫非小說類雜誌文章，包括《紐約客》對班尼古德蒙的簡介和爵士樂評論。 他的幾篇非小說類文章由威廉史泰格 (William Steig) 繪製插圖。1941 年，阿爾弗雷德 A. 克諾夫出版了亨利‧史泰格的小說《送我下來》。 這個故事以絕對現實主義的方式講述，講述了兩兄弟在二十多歲時成為爵士音樂家的故事。 史泰格在書封皮上寫道：「《送我下來》的大部分材料都是在我作為爵士音樂家與當地爵士樂隊、歌舞雜耍和舞廳巡演活動中的巡迴團體一起演奏時收集的。 雖然我作為一個音樂家只是二流，但我從內部了解我的主題，我相信我是第一個根據個人實際經歷寫爵士樂故事的人。「他的兒子麥可回憶說，當時有人有興趣將這本書拍成電影。 「我父親告訴我約翰·加菲爾德想扮演主角。「Steig 確實於 1941 年前往好萊塢，簽訂了編劇合約。 他將與詞曲作者約翰尼·默瑟合作。 12月7日珍珠港事件後，他返回紐約。 「無論如何，他無疑會回來，」邁克爾·施泰格說。 「他對經紀人為他談判的合約並不滿意。」 米莎·里克特 (Mischa Richter) 表示，「亨利對好萊塢非常不以為然。」

Retired James Avery Modernist sterling earrings 1 5/8" tall x 1.25" wide x 6<br>grams with no damage or significant wear.<br><br><br>James Avery founded his company in 1954, initially crafting jewelry in a two-car<br>garage in Kerrville, Texas, with just $250 and a desire to create lasting value<br>for others.
