Modernist Jewelry - Artist List: Craftsman & Students
 "About 1947 I bought a pin...because it looked great, I could afford it and it defined me with the group of my choice...esthetically aware, intellectually inclined and politically progressive.
That pin was our badge and we wore it proudly. It celebrated the hand of the artist rather than the market value of the material. Diamonds were the badge of the philistine." (Quote from Messengers of Modernism - American Studio Jewelry 1940-1960).
Below is a list of Modernist Jewelers and their students. The list was compiled from information contained in D. Kenneth Winebrenner's 1953 book "Jewelry Making". It has one of the most comprehensive overviews of the Modernist Jewelry Movement and is now out of print. I hope this information will help others to identify their jewelry and place the work of the artist within this movement.
