A one of a kind vintage 1960s 70s handmade sterling silver brutalist modernist brooch by Long Beach California professor/artist/sculptor/metalsmith Dieter Muller-Stach. Entirely handmade even the pin mechanism at back! Square-shaped openwork lattice design with overlapping irregular-shaped strips of silver that have been given various surface textures by the artist! A big bold brooch that makes a statement! The artist was born in 1935 in Germany where he studied jewelry-making and metal-smithing at the Art Academy in Munich. He taught in Ghana for six years before coming to CSULB in Long Beach California to teach jewelry-making in the Art Department in 1968 where he joined Al Pine among others at the forefront of the studio jewelry movement in California. His work appeared in California Design, American Craft magazine, and in books including Oppi Untracht's encyclopedic book, "Jewelry Concepts and Technology", among other publications, and his sculpture metalwork and jewelry designs are in both private and museum collections. He retired in 2003, and passed away in 2011, and this item was purchased from his estate shortly after. (See my last photo of the artist as a young man, about the time that he started his career in metalsmithing.) An incredible one of a kind design, this brooch will make quite a statement when worn! Measures 2-1/8" across by 2-1/8" tall, and weighs a substantial 19.2 grams total. Unmarked. As noted above this item was purchased directly from the artists studio after his death, and may be a prototype or perhaps from his personal collection. In any case, an outstanding vintage modernist piece of wearable art by an elite proponent of California design in the mid 20th century! Excellent vintage condition.

A huge vintage 1960s 70s handmade mixed metals (copper brass and silver) Mexican modernist Fish Bones design pin/pendant. Big and beautiful striking design that makes a statement! Measures 3-1/2" by 1-5/8", and weighs half an ounce or about 15 grams total. Unmarked, and no doubt an artisan possibly one of a kind piece. I'm guessing from Mexico, and probably originally had a hang-tag or paper label which would have been removed by the original owner. In any case, an outstanding piece, and a great addition to your collection. In excellent vintage condition.

An iconic and rare vintage 1970s one of a kind handmade sterling silver and faceted citrine modernist cuff bracelet by the renowned Rachel Gera of Israel. An exceptional design from one of the best of the era! She was famous for the intricacy of her design and the construction that were the epitome of 1970s brutalist studio jewelry! Her jewelry was much sought-after and worn by some of the biggest celebrities of the era including Elizabeth Taylor and Peter Ustinov! This incredible bracelet is an irregular framework of criss-crossing bars on top of which are applied irregular shape and size domes. To one side is a large (approx 20 carats) oval bezel-set faceted citrine. I've seen rings by Gera in this design, but this is the first and only bracelet like this that I've seen in my 45+ year career! Quite a statement on the wrist! Measures 1-3/4" wide and fits up to a 7-1/2" wrist. Weighs a super hefty 86.2 grams total. Marked as shown, "Handmade Gera Israel 925". Excellent vintage condition.

A huge vintage 1960s 70s one of a kind handmade bronze and variscite matrix modernist brutalist cocktail ring. Quite an intricate complex design with many protrusions almost like a scaffolding to hold the stone! The stone itself is also quite interesting, it's a lovely specimen of variscite with bits of other minerals on the edges, including carnelian at one side, and small white druzy quartz growing out of the top in two spots! Measures 1.75" long, rises almost 3/4" above the finger, and it's a size 5.5 US. Could be opened up at bottom by a jeweler to fit larger sizes. Very much in the Pal Kepenyes/Anne Dick/Jack Boyd style of brutalist jewelry, but this example is unmarked. From the estate of a very successful business woman in the publishing industry from NYC who traveled extensively and had exquisite taste! Excellent vintage condition.

A huge vintage 1970s handmade cast bronze modernist brutalist Fish design belt buckle by American sculptor/metalsmith Carl Tasha (1943-2006) of Provincetown. Carl Tasha was considered to be a pioneer of the brutalist style in modernist jewelry of the 1960s and 70s. He was known for his unique jewelry, sculptures and belt buckles, and was a fixture of the Provincetown art scene for many years. This phenomenal belt buckle measures 4.25" across by 2.25" tall by 1/2" thick at thickest point. Fits up to a 1-5/8" wide belt at back. Weighs a super heavy 125.3 grams total. Marked at back with a hard to read but legible, "C. Tasha" for Carl Tasha, and there are other marks there too which may be numbers or a date, but I can't make them out. In any case, this is an incredible and quite startling buckle that makes a statement when worn, and is suitable for any occasion. Excellent vintage condition. A photo of the artist circa 1970, Carl Tasha (1943-2006) lived and worked in Provincetown, MA. He was known for his brutalist jewelry and his modernist sculpture.
