You may not recognise his name, but his work is immediately recognised as a type of classic jewelry from the mid-twentieth century. An immigrant’s son from New York’s lower East Side, he rose to prominence in the 1930s by creating designs that defied all previous idea of what jewelry should look like. Witty, even outrageous – and wildly flattering, Schepp’s jewelry stood for style more than wealth. Scattered with original photographs and graphics, this book is likely to make a vintage jewelery buff salivate.
