A fine convertible Modernist pendant necklace and brooch combination.
By the New York City Modernist female goldsmith Resia Schor.
In sterling silver, 14k gold, and bezel-set with multiple gemstones
Comprising a large pendant and a mixed metals gold and silver hand-built chain link necklace. The pendant has a pin to its back and is also converts to a brooch.
Bezel-set with aquamarine and turquoise cabochons.
Designed with stylistic elements of the work of Resia's husband, Ilya Schor, Cubism, and Brutalism. Incorporating these elements in addition to a strong nod to the design of ancient jewelry of the Mediterranean, Resia Schor's work is strongly feminist, intensely modern, and a style wholly new.
Resia Schor (née Ainstein) was a Jewish Polish-American artist who immigrated to New York in 1941 with her newlywed husband to escape the war in Europe. Resia obtained a degree in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and exhibited paintings in NYC in the 50’s as Resia Ain. She also studied silversmithing with her husband Ilya Schor, who was a renowned multi-talented artist & creator of Judaica in his own right. Following Ilya’s untimely death in 1961, Resia fully transitioned to metalwork, creating jewelry, Judaica, & multi-media sculptures that all share her unique abstract modernist style. Resia’s influential work was featured in numerous exhibitions across the country for the better part of 4 decades.
