ART Jewelry



Arthur Pepper was in business from the late 1940's making jewelry signed Mode Art, and later, ART(c). The company became popular during the 1960's when they produced interpretations of ethnic Asian figural fashion jewelry, Egyptian revival large metal pectorals, Maltese crosses, and an entire line of jewelry with small enameled flowers. ART is a very collectible line and it's value will only increase with time.

In the August 2013 issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine, there is a Bottega Veneta bracelet that is a similar style for $5250 (shown on the left in photo below) to a bracelet by ART (shown on the right). Now of course, the bracelet is gorgeous, but who could afford it! Get the look for less with this Art bracelet.



The ART bracelet on the right has nine chains of varying size. The bracelet is signed on both ends of the bracelet. Clasp closure.    https://www.etsy.com/listing/156566892
