This sleek modernist design would be a great wardrobe accessory for the vintage clothing enthusiast, or for anyone with an eye for uniqueness. Good vintage condition. Renoir of California was founded in 1946 by Jerry Fels, specialising in solid copper jewellery. While the earlier Arts & Crafts movement was an inspiration to many of the designs, most of the pieces show characteristics of the geometric and abstact designs of the mid 20th century. In 1952 Fels also founded a subsidiary company called Matisse Ltd, which took the copper jewellery a stage further by adding colourful enamal decoration with designs based on natural objects such as leaves. Sadly, both companies ceased trading in 1962, but left behind two distinctly recognisable forms of costume jewellery.
