Very rare dimensional sterling and natural stone clip by American studio artist Irena Bryner, c. 1950. This is the first piece of her work I have been able to acquire. It is just not seen on the market. Bryner was a founding member of the San Francisco Metal Arts Guild. There is a chapter about her life and work in the book MESSENGERS OF MODERNISM. This clip is in excellent original condition measuring 2 3/8" by 1". It weighs 18 grams and would need to be worn on a heavy sweater, blazer or coat to support its weight. Beautiful design and fusing of silver with stone. Signed I. Bryner Sterling . Rare, rare, rare!!
