Here is a beautiful sterling abstract design pin by modernist Paul Voltaire. It measures 2 ¼” long by 1 ¼’ wide has a safety catch and is marked STERLING PAUL VOLT. I was unable to locate any historical material on this artist but I believe he worked in Connecticut and I suspect that he designed jewelry in the 1950’s possibly under some other famous artists of that era. The pin is beautifully hand crafted and has a loop on one end to be worn as a pendant.
