Composed of two rectangular layers of sterling silver, top one curved and with a cutout comma-shaped design exposing a highly oxidized interior. The ring is marked sterling and has Joseph Skinger’s script signature mark. Skinger was a Vermont studio metalsmith who was most productive during the 1950s and 1960s; he died in 1967.

Modernist Sterling Jewelry Vintage Brooch w/Large Stone
Signed N N Sterling
c.1970s
Excellent condition
6 3/4" x 2 1/4"
A very well crafted pair of sterling silver earrings and matching pendant, each with a prong set rose quartz stone. We especially like how the prongs are formed from folding pieces of the main parts. Pendant measures 2 1/2" long and 1 3/4" across. Would look nice on a chain or neck ring. Screw back earrings measure 1 3/8" high and 1 1/8" across. Screw backs are marked T2 and Sterling. They hold securely. Very nice condition, warm patina. Great modernist design.
An amazing piece of mid century modernist hand wrought jewelry.
This bronze or patinated brass pendant measures 3 1/2" long and 2" across. Has thick sterling wire around the edge and a curved design on each end. Interesting hammered texture.
There is some tarnish and a little wear to the bronze patina. Has a large bale so will also accommodate a thick chain or neck ring.
Fine contrasting of textures, interesting design.
