John Iversen Brooches

German

Jewelry designer John Iversen has had a lifelong attraction to nature, which is apparent in his work.

Iversen's beautifully fluid, organic jewelry is expressed through the use of leaves, flowers, pebbles, baskets, seeds and water. “Jewelry has its own emotional experience — a very basic, primitive instinct,” he says.

Trained in Germany, Iversen migrated to New York in 1978. His pieces are included in permanent collections of many museums both in the United States and in Europe.

Collectible Line Vautrin Gilt Bronze Brooch, c. 1945
By Line Vautrin
Located in New York, NY
A collectible gilt-bronze brooch showing a sunlit lion was designed by pioneering French woman jeweler Line Vautrin, France, circa 1945. It is a small but mighty piece weighing 27.72 grams and signed “LV.” Vautrin’s brooch makes the perfect gift for a partner or a unique addition to an artist’s jewelry aficionado’s collection. Born into a family of metal founders, even as a small child Line Vautrin (1913-1997) was fascinated by her father’s business. She never received a formal art education, but by the time she was 14, she had mastered the skills of casting, chasing, and gilding bronze. At 15, she hit upon the novel concept of making artistic jewelry in gilt metal. She began to sell pieces almost immediately; Vautrin devoted herself to experimentation with new materials then and, indeed, throughout her career but remained committed to bronze. In a time when few women played such a role, she was a pioneering craftswoman known for highly original jewelry enveloped in wordplay and symbology. The turning point came when she hired a stand at the Paris International Exposition...
