E. SILVERT 1960 Modernist Acrobats Sculptural Necklace In .925 Sterling Silver

Modernist sculptural necklace designed by E. Silvert.

We are offering here a large sterling silver modernist necklace-pendant created in New York City by the silversmith artist E. Silbert, back in the 1960. E. Silbert is one of the most famous unknown designers on the modernist end of the spectrum. This oversized example is in the form of a stylized acrobats couple hanging together like in a carnival. It was exceptionally crafted in solid .925/.999 sterling silver and made up in the lost wax technique, that means this necklace is a unique one-of-a-kind piece.
