Barry Kieselstein-Cord Kieselstein-Cord is a brand founded by American designer, artist, and photographer Barry Kieselstein-Cord in 1972 in Manhattan, New York. Its products include jewelry, silver jewelry, belt buckles, bronze statuary, leather goods including handbags, eyewear, home furnishings, and accessories. The designer has worked with Calvin Klein and Perry Ellis. The brand has been featured on several films including: Sex and the City, E!, Law & Order, Hard Copy, CNN, and NY1. The brand designation derives from the designer's original family names: Von Kieselstein and Winer cord, originating from Austrian-German ancestry. Branches of the family immigrated to the U.S. from the mid-1800s to 1900. Barry Kieselstein-Cord was born in 1948 in New York City, to an architect and an illustrator. He is that rare artist in the design and fashion world who speaks his mind, buck’s trends and decrees of direction, and whose firm has remained a potent force in the industry for more than thirty-five years. Cord is an award-winning artist, designer and photographer of the first magnitude. An Intaglio Seal This is an engraved gem, frequently is a small and usually semi-precious gemstone that has been carved, in the Western tradition normally with images or inscriptions only on one face. The engraving of gemstones was a major luxury art form in the ancient world, and an important one in some later periods. Strictly speaking, engraving means carving in intaglio (with the design cut into the flat background of the stone), but relief carvings (with the design projecting out of the background as in nearly all cameos) are also covered by the term. This article uses cameo in its strict sense, to denote a carving exploiting layer of differently colored stone. The activity is also called gem carving and the artists gem-cutters. References to antique gems and intaglios in a jewelry context will almost always mean carved gems; when referring to monumental sculpture, counter-relief, meaning the same as intaglio, is more likely to be used. Vessels like the Cup of the Ptolemies and heads or figures carved in the round are also known as hardstone carvings. Collateral: This Kieselstein-Cord ring is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box. Condition: The overall condition of this Kieselstein-Cord ring is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the gold. The Bloodstone is secured in the settings. This ring has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.
