Marci Zelmanoff’s wire wrapped and fabricated jewels from the 1970’s are stellar examples of the Art Jewelry Movement that flourished in this era

“The artist has always exploited the different colors of metals and used fanciful convolutions of wire extensively in her baroque pieces. These days, however, she is using the different shades and karats of gold, along with copper, brass and bronze, as a painter uses a palette of colors. She “draws” forms with wire as an artist would use a pencil.” – NY Times article 1978
