Ed Levin began creating innovative and distinctly original jewelry in 1950. Prior to that he had studied and taught as a painter, sculptor, potter, and jeweler.
He started designing jewelry while living in Buenos Aires and working with a master Florentine jeweler. They alloyed their metal from gold coins, drilled with needles in a bow-drill, and soldered with a blowpipe. He brought what he learned back to the United States and founded Ed Levin Jewelry.
He has passed his artistic vision and skills on to the next generation of master craftsmen who carry on his legacy at his studio. His jewelry is still handcrafted using age old techniques and only the finest material - inspiring the wearer with is alluring and inventive design.
Most pieces available in 14k gold and sterling silver or a combination of both metals. Some pieces also available in 14k white gold, 18k yellow gold, and platinum. All prices are based on the precious metals market at time of shipment, please call for current quote.
