Is it a pendant or a brooch? Both! Which way is up? Either!
Paul Lobel was a Romanian born, New York based artist known for his mid-century modernist jewellery. He was a key figure in the American wearable art movement and his work is highly collectable
Lobel's designs typically feature a stark, sculptural simplicity and often avoid gemstone embellishments in favor of pure, fluid metalwork. He pioneered this style in sterling silver starting around 1943 due to wartime metal shortages.
This is for someone who appreciates form and modern simplicity. A handmade slice of modernist history.
