Alfred Karram, born in 1932. He was a renowned American artist and jewelry designer, based in New York City. Formerly with an upscale jewelry store and a goldsmith studio at 57th Street and Madison Avenue. He open his shop in 1956, with no formal training in jewelry design, but his tendency was toward modernity. He wanted to offer pieces that would attract a younger audience with both his style and prices. Most of Karram’s jewelry carried a price tag of 50 to 100 dollars, but he was pleasantly surprised that his store attracted audiences of all ages. Karram’s midtown Manhattan shop reflected the same interest in its architecture, designed by the jeweler himself. Steel and hammered brass outside and the interior included wooden beams projecting from the walls. Karram created an atmosphere that was bold, daring, and unusual, like his jewelry. He designed jewelry for over 40 years and after selling his Manhattan store, he moved to South Florida and started an architecture and design business based in Boca Raton named Alfred Karram II. His jewelry is actually displayed in many private and public collections and at prominent museums. Collections: The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA USA acquired in 2007 an 18Kt Cubic bracelet for their permanent collection. The Museum of Arts and Design, NY, NY, USA acquired in 2008 his "Cleopatra" necklace from the 'Organic' collection and placed it in their permanent collection. The Cincinnati Art Museum, Ohio USA. has a geometric bracelet in their permanent collection. Condition: The overall condition of this bracelet is excellent.
