Moved by Modernism

When I was a child my father would create beautiful one of a kind pieces of jewelry in a small studio in our house. I never gave it much thought other than to enjoy the pieces he gave me.
Fast forward 50 years and I have been creating jewelry at his bench for 35 years.
I am beginning to look back at the jewelers who were the foundation of American Modernism jewelry including my father.
These pieces are a nod to inspirational makers such as Ruth Roach, Art Smith, Sam Kramer and Merry Rink. me to

Shannon,
I use a stamping tool I made.

Beautiful!

Jeffrey,
Thank you so much! You compliment means a great deal, I’m a big admirer!

Great work, hints of 50’s / 60’s ethos. (with a bit of Calder thrown in ) (sounds like a recipe… sorry)
I really do like your approach.
Best,
Jim
