Jeweler; New York, N.Y.; b.1917. d.2003.

Her open necklaces and custom-fitted wraparound earrings expanded the possibilities of wearable art. Drawing inspiration from the organic forms of Antoni Gaudí and the attenuated figures of Alberto Giacometti, she made material and techniques bend to her will.
