MODERNIST SAM KRAMER STERLING CARNELIAN PIN

Archives: Estate Jewelry: Silver: Modernism Pre 1960: item #46945

A superb and rare hand hammered sterling pin with a center carnelian by New York studio artist Sam Kramer. Three dimensional and sculptural, the center piece looks very much like a propeller. One almost expects it to twirl. This pin measures 2" diameter and is in fine condition with the exception of a slight bit of solder at the base of the pin stem. I have included a photo of the area. Unless called to ones attention, it is not noticeable and in no way detracts from the pin. Signed with Sam Kra... Click for details

Nye 1940s Modernist Sterling Double Calla Cuff Bracelet

Archives: Estate Jewelry: Silver: Modernism Pre 1950: item #512386

This gorgeous, highly dimensional vintage sterling silver bracelet is one of Stuart Nye's most admired designs. The matching double calla lily brooch is a book piece featured in Schon's "Modernist Jewelry 1930-1960." The bracelet is hand-crafted, as all pieces from the Nye studio have been since its establishment in 1933. The "arts and crafts" era was ending elsewhere, but didn't at Nye. Instead, it combined with the bold forms of Modernism and both influences are clearly present here. ... Click for details

Modernist Amethyst Sterling Ring to Die For

Archives: Estate Jewelry: Silver: Modernism Pre 1950: item #153078

Dating from the interface of Arts & Crafts with Modernism (circa 1930 - 1950), this stunning handmade sterling ring from a European collection would look equally appropriate on a man or a woman. It's a whopper, for sure. The royal purple stone, a huge faceted oval bezel-set and open at the back, measures nearly 3/4" tall! It was sold as a natural amethyst and looks like one to me but, not being a gemologist, I can't absolutely guarantee it. Currently about a U.S. size 8 - 9 (easily altered by yo... Click for details
