About the Item
Marguerite Stix Shell Stickpin set in 14k gold mounts in an amazing color. Stix is famous for her shell mounted jewelry for Cartier and this simple snail shell in exotic green highlights the beauty of nature. There is a wear hole at the tip and we are assuming it was mounted this way as that would not be worn away during use. Signed "Stix", 3.75" length, shell 1" wide x 1.5" tall. 1960's USA.

Marguerite Stix
Marguerite Stix was born in Vienna and although she was too young to be a member of the Wiener Werkstätte she nevertheless became a protege of Josef Hoffman at a very young age.
Stix worked as a sculptor and artist in Vienna until she was forced to flee the German invasion of Austria in 1938. She fled to Paris where she began designing a line of ceramic pins and buttons. These became favorites of the haute couture houses of Molyneux, Balenciaga, Schiaparelli, Lanvin and Patou.
In 1941, Stix was interred in a concentration camp in France. When she was released, she made her way to America. Stix had her first show as a sculptor in New York City in 1951, working in terra cotta and bronze. She began to make jewelry in the mid-1960s until her death in 1975. Stix had a solo exhibit at Cartier in 1972 and the house continued to sell her jewelry.
