Robert Larin Gold Plated Silver Pewter Cleopatra Necklace with Black Glass Stones
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.
