I purchased the book 'Calder Jewelry' a year or so ago and finally sat down to look through it. Many people don't know that Alexander Calder also made jewelry. I wanted to share a few of my favorite pieces. There are hundreds of pieces of jewelry that are very inspirational! I highly recommend buying the book.
