metal masters

Today the Handmade Division is talking about the artists we would most like to study with.

I love mid-century modernist jewelry and have collected it for years. In fact I sell it on my web site modbaubles.com (which desperately needs updating). There were many studio jeweler's working from the 50s-70s that I would love a chance to work with. Here are but a few, some of the images are from my personal collection and some are pieces I have sold.

Sigi Pineda

Ronald Hayes Pearson

Phyllis Jacobs

Merle Boyer

Frank Patania, Sr.

Ed Weiner

Henry Steig

Los Castillo
