"My name is Bernard Rosenberg and I was born on Manhattan Island in Aug 1938. I come from a family of jewelers. My father created costume jewelry in Cuba during 1920's. This kept him alive until he was able to imiragte to the United States. My Uncle was a fine jeweler on Maiden Lane in New York City who dealt with the Wall Street boys. His firm was called "LeCount & Company", My aunt worked as the head of the Executive department in Tiffany.
I hope that my jewelry designs speak for themselves, tell a story or show brilliance, strength, beauty, and rhythm. I feel that my designs are basic and simple, yet are sopisticated with an enduring quality."
"In my jewelry, I strive to create movement and a three dimensional effect. Such as Tiffany's Fireworks series of pins or brooches. In a way they have inspired me. My third design is a going to be a Nebular, called "The Noel Nebular" set with Red Spinels and Tsavorite Garnets. A round circle with six arms twisted inward coming off it, paved with stones on the top of the arms and possibly both edges. Three of the six arms would be below or higher than the next one to it." |
