Handmade in copper, it is composed of three large, slightly convex, rectangular panels linked together by pairs of copper paperclip connectors.

$145.00 

Sleek + Sensuous … With a fluid, curvaceous form, this open cuff bracelet is quite the showpiece. Artistically handcrafted in substantial, heavy-gauge copper, the gracefully concave cuff is embellished with highly textural tool work that appears more like abstract embossing than actual hammering. The slightly anodized metal displays a warm and radiant patina, and though the overall design boasts an ultra-feminine, corset-like shape, the piece is sturdy and boldly modernist. ...click for details

$65.00 

A mid-century fad produces an exceptional collectible of timeless beauty … The popularity of enamel on copper jewelry reached its peak in the late 1940’s and ’50s, with the proliferation of copper and enamel crafts kits. These projects required assembly of pre-cut copper parts, links, and clasps, and then hand painting one’s own enamel designs on the copper plates for firing. Though results varied with the talents of the hobbyist, some of the pieces produced were superb and worthy of a t ...click for details

TheVintageAdvantage



$65.00 

Charming + Disarming! … Although I do not believe this fabulous pin is Elzac, it is decidedly a very early work from the World War II years—when Elzac was producing its novelty jewelry. Composed of a medium-dark, finely grained wood, it has been beautifully carved to depict a stylized bird, perhaps a swan. It boasts a hand-painted red and black eye, as well as two large, dramatically graceful head plumes or tail feathers that are front-carved in clear lucite. The lucite is both riveted a ...click for details

Big ~ Bold ~ Bodacious! … Absolutely awesome in design and exceptionally well made, this pair of earrings is very evocative of Salvador Teran’s stylized, pre-Columbian jewelry that was sold by Mexico’s prestigious Marbel retail store in the 1960’s. Made with a bright, matte goldtone finish, each earring depicts a pre-Columbian, Aztec or Maya face mask motif, with dangling, cascabel-like pendants.
