Ed Weiner Gold and Gem-Set Ring

Ed Wiener's studio jewelry career began in Greenwich Village in the early 1940s in what was at the time a bohemian hot bed and artistic haven. His circle in these early days of Abstract Expressionism included contemporaries like Sam Kramer and Art Smith. Largely self-taught, Wiener began his career producing relatively formal hand-hammered silver jewelry with plumber's and carpenter's tools. As his work progressed, he became very interested in developing his own technical methods for the processes of casting, setting, and joining. By the late 1960s into the 80s, Weiner transitioned into working more in gold inspired by the aesthetics of medieval and pre-Columbian forms. He practiced in his Fifth Avenue gallery until his death in 1991 at the age of 73.
