These earrings has been crafted with free twisted shapes in yellow gold of 18 karats with high polished finish. They are fitted on top with concealed French hooks for pierced ears. Weight: 7.95 grams (5.12 Dwt). Measures: 63 mm by 16 mm (2.48 by 0.63 inch). Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark, the mark for the assay of the gold and signed, "M. GOOD .750 S". Michael Good His name is synonymous with anticlastic raising, has developed and expanded the definition of jewelry and metalsmithing to sculptural forms that are a natural extension of the human form. Michael Good spent his youth in both the US and Europe. In the late 50s he moved to NYC where he worked as a social activist. It was in NYC that he started working with a sculptor who taught him some very rudimentary metalsmithing skills. In 1969, Michael and his wife, Karen, moved with their son “back to nature” to a minuscule town in northeast, Maine. They spent several years logging, clamming, and any other odd jobs possible to make a living, while at the same time, Michael continued to work on jewelry. In 1977, he took a workshop with Heikki Seppa, a Finnish metalsmith who showed him the basic techniques of putting a compound curve into a sheet of metal (like a saddle form). Michael was fascinated with the process and figured out how to continue forming the curve into a tube. From 1981–1986, he won several prestigious awards, including Intergold, Diamonds Today, and Diamonds International. This laid the foundation for a long career designing jewelry and sculpture using the now well-known technique of Anticlastic Raising. Michael has shown his work in both jewelry stores and galleries since the early 1980s. Over the past several years, he has concentrated his efforts on a more limited number of elite stores, as well as his own gallery located in Rockport, Maine. (Michael Good gallery with thanks.)
