A one of a kind vintage 1950s prototype mixed metals brutalist cuff bracelet by Ben Lorenz of NYC - purchased from the artists estate. He attended the Art Students League of New York, and after graduating he started out as a commercial designer working for such luminaries as Norman Bel Geddes and Richard Loewy. He later opened his own design studio in the Empire State Building, and his clients included Chris Craft boats, Gar Wood boats, Magic Maid appliances, Sunbeam, and Nabisco, among others. He also made art jewelry in the 1940s and 1950s, and this is an outstanding example of one of his designs from that time.

Two examples of brooch design number 477 circa 1940s from Los Castillo in Taxco. No doubt a design collaboration from Margot and Antonio Castillo, who were married at the time. I'm guessing that the two examples were made by different maestros to accommodate different shapes of stones and from a drawing, not a model or other design guide. The example at right is slightly wider, and the tigereye stones are oriented horizontally rather than vertically. Both are marked "Los Castillo Taxco Made in Mexico Sterling" and design number "477". A lovely 1940s Los Castillo design, and these are the only two examples of it that I've seen.

sphinx pendant in sterling silver

Round pendant bearing an image of a sphinx in an Art Neveau style: a synthesis of the Greek monster that strangled travelers who could not answer her riddle and the Egyptian sphinx who stood guard over secrets.

A necklace featuring 11 large black/red/mauve abstract flower beads with a bold design. The colorful beads are handmade. Smaller smoky colored glass beads and red saucer beads are between the clay beads in a simple pattern. The necklace is against a background of grid paper

Another view of the same necklaces this time on a black velvet mannequin with a white curtain in the background.

Throwback Thursday to these three pieces that landed in a private collection back in 2009. I remember getting the sale notice and having to double check where I was sending the pieces.

A rugged nodular vintage 1970s handmade sterling silver and malachite brutalist modernist cocktail ring. Entirely handmade hand fabricated with heavy gauge sterling silver wire and sheet that has been torch cut and textured, not cast! Interestingly, a malachite cabochon has been prong-set not bezel-set. And what prongs! Each is unique, and they resemble natural stalactites or stalagmites in a cavern! An incredible one of a kind piece of wearable modernist brutalist art jewelry! Measures 1-1/4" by 1" at top, rises 3/4" above the finger, size 6 US, and weighs a hefty 29 grams total or nearly one troy ounce. Could be sized up or down a few sizes by a professional silversmith if desired. Unmarked. Tested and guaranteed to be exactly as described. No doubt originally sold in an art gallery or fair with accompanying paperwork that has been lost over the years. In any case, it’s an extraordinary modernist cocktail ring! One corner of the stone has a natural vein of a matrix material that to the untrained eye might look like a crack, but it's completely natural and an interesting feature of this natural untreated stone. Excellent vintage condition.
