About the Item

During the mid 1980's Haroldo Burle Marx created a mass produced line of silver jewelry for our former business, The ALTOMAR Collection. If you ever see a piece of Burle Marx silver, it undoubtedly came from us. This Free Form tourmaline ring is an example of the kinds of pieces we were making during this time period. It is stamped Burle Marx 950. The stone measures approximately .80 inches by .83 inches by .28 inches in depth. It is a size 7.5. It's overall weight is 17.8 grams. The ring has minor scratches as will happen with silver, and is in overall very good condition. If you are interested in purchasing a piece of jewelry made by Haroldo Burle Marx, you've come to the right place. We are not only the foremost experts when it comes to Burle Marx Jewels, but have the largest collection in the world available for purchase today. Burle Marx 18 Karat Gold Jewels were completely hand made. There was absolutely no pre-casting. The late Paul Desautels, the most influential American curator of the 20th century, and Curator of Gems and Minerals in the Department of Mineral Sciences of the U.S. National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian Institution) in Washington, D.C., praised the jewelry saying, “ One advantage of handcrafting jewelry versus pre-casting, is the uniqueness of each piece. No two pieces are alike. Pre-casting considerably limits the artist, while freehand work lends itself toward better design and engineering of the jewelry, making a custom fit much easier.” Burle Marx, without question, will go down in history as one the greatest jewelry designers that ever lived. His customer list looks much like a social registry. Cicely Tyson, Madame Ferragamo, Placido Domingo, Natalie Wood, The Shah of Iran, Queen Margrethe of Denmark, and the Empress of Japan were just a few of his customers. In 1989 over half a million dollars worth of Burle Marx jewels were on display at The Houston Museum of Natural Science for a period of two years. Burle Marx was featured in Connoisseur Magazine, Town and Country, Vogue, U.S. News World Report, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Dallas Morning News, and many others. As of late, there are some that have been using the term “Marx Brothers” to imply that Haroldo and his brother Roberto were in the jewelry business together. This could not be further from the truth. They had a falling out very early in Haroldo’s jewelry making career, and did not speak for the majority of their adult lives. Roberto was a world famous Landscape Architect, Artist, and Sculptor. He was not in the jewelry business. If you come across a piece of jewelry that's stamped "Burle Marx", it was made by Haroldo Burle Marx. You will not find a publication in existence where HBM is quoted saying he and Roberto were partners. It's simply not true. Please contact us any time for more information.
