Wonderfully designed cuff bracelet by Henry Steig, a well known Modernist jewelry designer working in New York City in the 1950s. In 1950 he opened a New York City shop at 51st and First, and a summer store in Provincetown, Massachusetts. In 1955 he moved his NYC shop to 52nd and Lexington. The design of this ridgid bracelet is ingenious, as the opening fits over the bulb of your wrist for comfort. Signed "Henry Steig, sterling". Excellent condition.
Signed FBG this over lay is exceptional workmanship and hand carving. The length is a dramatic 26in. and sports hand made chain. The first drop is 3.75in. x 3.5in. and the second is 3in. x 3.5in. The total length is 32.5in. This is a heavy weight at 76 grams. The tear drop shape of these 2 amulets really make this Mayan symbols and deity necklace romantic. No damage just, LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
This bracelet has everything going for it. It is hand chased beautifully into what I think is a floral motif. The 2 balls in it's center are caviar cut which are perfect and without dents.

This bracelet makes a statement of style and quality with a weight of 101 grams and a height of 2.25in. tall. Marked as shown with SILVER MEXICO...

This classic jewel consists of a circle of gold, enameled in cobalt blue, with gold highlights. A 3-looped bow is interlaced through it, decorated with tiny seed pearls, as are the bail and dropper. There are a couple very minor flaws in the enamel - invisible without magnification. It is stamped for 15kt gold, and the gold has that lovely rich color we rarely see these days. There is a place on the back where it looks as though someone made a repair, but of course it’s not visible when worn...

One of the most elusive pieces designed by Danish modernist Hans Hansen, this sterling silver neck ring has been in my collection for a long time. The idea was to get a pendant by the same designer so as to complete the necklace but it never happened and I decided to give that same opportunity to someone else out there. So if you have been looking for a Hansen neck ring and have not been able to find one, here is your golden chance. This is a good size too and at 1/8" thick it is heftier than si...
