Price: $568.00
Description JAC Jorge Cohen Deco inspired basket brooch and earrings, sterling silver brooch with a frosted glass or rock crystal stone, a frosted rock crystal triangle, synthetic rubies and Swarovski crystals.  The brooch is a total length of 2-3/4" and it is 1-1/2" wide.  The clip back earrings are 1-1/3" by 1'.  All three pieces have Cohen's mark on the back.  Also included is a black satin pouch with his emblem on the front.  Other pieces by this maker could be seen in the Christie’s Elizabeth Taylor Auction in December 2011, but sadly the link I had to that is now obsolete.  Mr Cohen was based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, but has since passed away.  He was born in 1941 and died in 1993.  According to Ginger Moro’s wonderful book, "European Designer Jewelry" on page 233, Cohen found vintage molded glass elements in Paris and combined them with modern silver, onyx, marcasites, and chrysoprase to fashion his jewelry inspired by the Art Deco and Amsterdam School movements from earlier in the 20th century.

The Amsterdam School was a Dutch artistic and architectural movement that flourished from about 1910 through the 1920s.  Its designers favored sculptural forms, bold geometry, expressive brickwork and rich decorative details, drawing inspiration from Art Nouveau and Expressionism.  The movement extended beyond architecture into furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwork and jewelry, emphasizing craftsmanship and strong, imaginative design.
