Late 1950s Gold & Ruby Brutalist Walter Schleup Brooch
About the Item
Bruatlist jewelery design is fully embodied in this 14k gold and ruby brooch, meticulously crafted by Walter Schleup in his Montreal studio.
"Walter Schluep, who trained as a jeweller in Switzerland, liked to think of his work as art and of himself as an artist. Most of what he made and sold in his Montreal shop was small and whimsical, including brooches, rings and bracelets that were crafted like miniature sculptures, but he also produced larger pieces as well, such as a silver goblet currently on display at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Pieces fashioned by the master jeweller, who died last month at the age of 84, are exhibited at museums and prized by collectors across North America.
Many of his pieces are whimsical, featuring labour-intensive details that required careful craftsmanship. His designs were often quirky, such as an elephant whose hinged ear moves to reveal a heart. "Schluep was always interested in the artistic movements of his era," wrote Valérie Côté in a research paper written for the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. He was influenced by many modern artists, she added, including Andy Warhol."

1970s Hand-Strung Sea Foam Ombre Lucite & Vintage Crystal Necklace
Located in Maywood, NJ
The start of plastic jewellery was seen in the middle of the 19th century and it became very popular in the 1920's and 30's. Celluloid was the first quality of plastics which was used, then followed Bakelite and Catalin. The invention of Bakelite took place in 1909. Sometime later Catalin was produced. Catalin was easy for mass production and at the same time affordable.
Du Pont is the pioneer in the field of Lucite and made it popular in the 1930’s as an alternative to Bakelite which was an expensive grade of plastic. Because of its versatility it became a popular choice for costume jewellery and became even more popular in 1950s for its Jelly Belly Jewellery...
