- Chunky Brass Bracelet with Raw Amethyst
  
  $425.00
  
  Because this enchanting piece has a similar feel to my favorite Brazilian artist, Ernandes, I believe this piece is originally from South America (Brazil or Argentina). Many artisans of this region incorporated brass and raw amethyst. This piece feels oh so sexy on the wrist.
- Louis Giusti Pewter Fish
  
  $1,200.00
  
  I have been fortunate enough to find three of these fish over the course of my collecting - it has become a sort of obsession for me to hunt these down. An artisan Louis Giusti created these fish from his seaside studio in Mexico in the 1960s. Some have made there way into the US, where I have been lucky enough to catch them. Truly both a statement and heirloom piece.
- Pentti Sarpaneva Brass & Bronze Dangling Necklace
  
  $375.00
  
  Pentti Sarpaneva went through a phase of making longer necklaces with dangling balls & this is a wonderful example of this period. When I found this from a dealer in Finland, I knew that I had to have it.
- Blackened Copper Bib
  
  $395.00
  
  I have recently discovered this blackened copper technique and think it looks quite fresh. This bib contains intricate design and is adjustable so you can wear it long and short.
- Blackened Copper Triangle Necklace
  
  $325.00
  
  When I first gazed upon this necklace at an estate sale I was unsure of what to make of it. I had never seen blackened metal before & assumed it was just tarnished. However, I quickly realized that this was a technique of the time & once I tried this necklace on I was hooked. Shown here with another example of blackened metal on a bracelet.

- Ernandes Brass & Amethyst Clip On Earrings
  
  $250.00
  
  An enchanting set of clip on earrings by my current obession, Ernandes.
- Guy Vidal Modernist Pendant with Handwrought Chain
  
  $450.00
  
  Guy Vidal was a good friend of Robert Larin, both had shops in the same area of Montreal. The relationship is evident in their works: when Robert Larin tried gold plating Guy Vidal tried gold plating. However, this is an example of Vidal speaking in his own voice, more modernist than his typical brutalist style. I also tried this with the chain double wrapped to make a shorter necklace - two in one!
- Ernandes Brass Neckring with Raw Amethyst
  
  $650.00
  
  Oh Ernandes! Can you fall in love with someone without ever meeting them? I have. I discovered this artist from a collector in Brazil and since then have become an addict. I have collected many of his pieces (a good assortment can be found at Broken English in LA) and cannot seem to stop. This is a wonderful example of his work in all its glory: his signature sculptural brass with raw purple amethyst.
- Robert Larin Gold Plated Silver Pewter Cleopatra Necklace with Black Glass Stones
  
  $575.00
  
  Toward the latter part of the four years that Robert Larin produced work he began working with gold plating, laying it on top of his silver pewter allow. I love this piece for its pure glam, evoking an image of Cleopatra at Studio 54. Robert Larin was creating pewter jewelry as early as 1968 based in Montreal, PQ and selling across Canada. He employed approximately 25 workers most of whom were deaf, which worked perfectly in a noisy shop. Most of Larin's production jewelry was made of pewter, which was cast by the lost wax process and then filed by hand to remove the rough surfaces left by the casting. The piece was then oxidized or plated with silver or gold and then, finally polished. He only produced work during 1968 through 1972.
- Incredibly Rare Set of Pentti Sarpaneva Candlesticks
  
  $850.00
  
  I bought these from a woman in London who had collected them when Pentti was still producing works. The shop from which she typically bought her pieces called her to tell her that they had just received a rare treasure - three Pentti Sarpaneva candlesticks. She hung up the phone and ran directly to the shop. The set seems to be part of his sunburst series that he did with jewelry (see bracelet for sale). I have never seen Sarpaneva candlesticks before and I am not sure I will again.
- Brass ring with dark stone
  
  $125.00
  
  Quite a stunning statement ring - actual top of ring a little smaller than a quarter. Found late one Saturday at an estate sale.
  
  SOLD OUT
- Jorma Laine ring
  
  $190.00
  
  Not what you typically see from Jorma Laine in terms of materials, but his signature chunky, organic design make it undeniably his. When I came upon this ring through a dealer in Finland, I knew I had to find just the right hand for it. A prolific member of the Finnish modernist movement, Jorma Laine produced much of his work in the ’60s and ‘70s adhering to the bold but organic style that was the signature of Finnish movement. Laine’s interpretation is chunky and bold, typically featuring brass or bronze. Most of his designs are abstract structures or reflect the shapes of Arctic nature phenomenon: changing seasons, midnight sun or northern lights.
- Robert Larin Delicate Silver/Pewter Necklace
  
  $395.00
  
  A rare example of Robert Larin in a delicate mood. Wonderful alone or layered with other necklaces.
- Carl Tasha Brass Necklace with Woman Embracing Green Stone
  
  $525.00
  
  Carl Tasha, who passed away a few years ago, was a sculptor and painter who lived most of his life in Provincetown, Massachusetts at the tip of Cape Cod. He is most widely known for his sculpture and his jewelry (bracelets, pendants, rings, earrings, and belt buckles). He often incorporated human or animal figures. Unlike other artisans of this time, Tasha's work was more literal in form. HOW HE WORKED His distinctive style is due in part to the specific metalsmithing techniques he used and developed: melting bronze rods with a hand-held torch while using the melting rod to guide the flowing metal, forging the work as it cools (hammering, bending), and sometimes fusing separate elements together to form one piece.
  
  SOLD OUT
- Pentti Sapeneva bronze ring
  
  $250.00
  
  When I first laid eyes on this ring I had no idea it was Pentti Sarpeneva's work. His typical style was very organic but this is a rare departure from his signature look. See matching bracelet for a gorgeous set.
- Brass Modernist Bracelet with Green Stone
  
  $650.00
  
  I cannot help but think this modernist bracelet was inspired by the architecture of the time, almost atomic in style.
  
  SOLD OUT
- Pentti Sarpaneva Silver/Pewter Bracelet
  
  $425.00
  
  When Pentti Sarpaneva began his career creating odd looking jewelry based on organic forms he was rejected as an artist. However, when tastes finally caught up to him in the 1970s he was in full stride & is now considered one of the most prolific members of the biomorphic movement. This elegant bracelet is made up of delicate sunbursts, a motif he used for a series he created for Oy Turun Hope. I have collected a ring and necklace of the same family, but this bracelet is the first one I have seen of its kind. Magnificent!
- Intricate Ernandes Brass & Raw Amethyst Cuff
  
  $395.00
  
  Oh, Ernandes. Where do I begin? I discovered this artist about 4 months ago & became obsessed. Not much is known about him, but his signature style includes intricate brass work with raw amethyst. I have collected about 20 pieces and sold most of them, but still have a few gems. This cuff is stunning - especially with a golden tan and white t-shirt.
- Robert Larin Silver/Pewter Tree Bark Bracelet
  
  $495.00
  
  As most of you know, I am an avid Robert Larin collector. He only created during a four-year period & most of his pieces are one of a kind. In the last year, I have noticed he is becoming more collectible and harder to come by. This piece is not in his typical brustalist style, more biomorphic in shapes so quite rare. Looks marvelous with a simple black dress.

- Burnt Copper & Brass Cuff

  Wonderful example of the "burnt" or "blackened" metal pieces I have been recently collecting. This technique darkens the metal and creates a rich patina that is hard to define. Perfect for you edgy girls.

- Rare Guy (Gilles) Vidal silver plated pewter necklace
  
  $490.00
  
  >Rare and unique brutalist style choker for a confidant woman by Guy (sometimes
  known as Gilles) Vidal. Vidal was a Montreal based designer, who worked in
  pewter in the late 1960's to early 1970's. It was thought among the jewelry fraternity
  that Vidal's designs were somewhat more sophisticated and daintier than others of
  the brutalist genre. It was also said that Vidal had concocted his own pewter formula
  which provided an ability to work finer designs that still held their strength.

  $490.00
  
  Stunning silver geometric modernist necklace influenced by Weiner Werkstatt.

  Curious gold toned bracelet created by renowned brutalist Robert Larin.
  Born in Montreal, Larin was in his mid 20's in the late 1960's and maintained
  a factory on rue Papineau. Here he employed approximately 25 workers most
  of whom were deaf, which worked perfectly in a noisy shop where
  communication even between those who could hear, had to be in sign language.
  
  Most of Larin's production jewelry was made of pewter, which was cast by
  the lost wax process and then filed by hand to remove the rough surfaces left
  by the casting. The piece was then oxidized or plated with silver or gold and
  then, finally polished. He only produced work during 1968 through 1972.
