Find of the Week -Kay Denning Enamel on Copper Demi Parure



When you think about copper and enamel jewelry what artist come to mind? Matisse? Rebajes? How about Kay Denning?

Kay Denning
produced dramatic enamel on copper jewelry during the mid 20th century. She is well known for striking designs such as this vintage bracelet and earring set. Another technique she used was thicker enamel in spots to produce what is being called "cookies". "Cookies" sounds nicer than
"blobs". They look like blobs albeit artfully placed blobs!! These sections sat raised above the rest of the decorative sections.

The black and white enamel here is fused on copper. The back has been counter enameled in white. Note that each panel is different. The white enamel has tiny black specking. Overall the look is
clean and crisp. The earrings are the clip on type.

We had to have this vintage modernist set when we saw it and it did not last long in our shop. We normally do not post "Finds" that sell before we can write about them; however this set was so striking, we made an exception. We hope the new owner enjoys it as much as we did!
