You are so important for so many reasons. I have done so much art during my life I have always been creative. My art has come in many forms. I am not an expert lol but have been around a good many years. Lol so, when I say I appreciate your talents it has a “little” merit. Mostly I appreciate your knowledge your format on these videos and your honesty. With honesty comes the truth of an artists eye and I think that is why you are successful. Your the kind of person who if you told me something isn’t right I would respect it even if its not what I want to hear. Because I would know if you said that something is wonderful it would be truth. It works both ways. So please dont hold back. ❤ your so great at this I look forward to an everyday Jason lesson.

You are so welcome! Glad I could warm you up.😊

[@deborahtibbetts4495]

@jasonadams8633 Jason...regarding your comments on not cleaning sterling silver jewelry. I purchased my first squash blossom necklace at a thrift store a few weeks ago. Before I purchased it she threw it into a jar of cleaning solution...coral stones attached! I tried to stop her but she insisted on "cleaning" it . All the oxidation was almost gone and the coral stones looked dried out. As it was only $19.99, I just smiled and said thank you. But oh my poor necklace!!!

[@jasonadams8633]

@deborahtibbetts4495 that is why I tell people to NEVER use liquid cleaners.... the stones are too soft and are now ruined. So sad.

[@zoekimmey-d3i]

LOVED this video!! The Rachel Gera pieces😍. I would love for you to do a show featuring just the American modernist makers ….

[@beachybran]

Thank you for the education. I love learning! Today on my lunch break I was watching another video where someone was showing jewelry. He showed is piece and kept saying “abstract” and I said to myself, that’s modernist. I’ve never studied jewelry like art before and I love it! BTW it was marked Laponia. Imagine my surprise when I saw the name on your video as well. Good stuff.

Hi Jason!! You finally got to my genre!! Speaking of early Modernism…have we examined Peruvian BC…I’m talking like 1000 bce-didn’t they actually do chemical electroforming at that time??!! I couldn’t believe it when I found this out!! And the adornments they wore look just like what they based modernist jewelry on!! It’s so amazing…I think all jewelry styles just keep coming back around!! Can’t wait to see your coming videos on Modernism! Thanks so much!

[@jasonadams8633]

You are absolutely right! It's true that jewelry history is cyclical. They are know talking about pre columbian items being gold plated.....meaning they had batteries!!!!!!! Whoa.....and we think we are so advanced. 🤣😂😅🤣😂💜💜💜

[@leecl2244]

I just went rooting through my stash after watching this video. I have a necklace with the same tubular structure (different color) featured in the earrings at 37:00 in your video. My necklace also includes squared tubes that are similarly painted, along with various pieces of brass, all strung on a handmade sterling chain. It is marked JM 93. It came with complementary earrings, not marked, that are reminiscent of your earrings. I think there's enough similarity to your earrings to wonder if they had the same maker.

[@jasonadams8633]

@leecl2244 hi Lee..its possible...however there were SO MANY designers and makers producing very similar designs so almost impossible to tell with Memphis items! 💜✨️💜✨️💜

[@jeannestrickland7027]

I love 20th century enamel the pieces. I collect the works of people like Sasha Brastoff as well as some local Ohio artists who worked in enameling. Perhaps you could do a video on enamel jewelry.

[@jasonadams8633]

That would be so much fun! I love enamel! I'm on it!!!

[@Jupefires]

Hip hugger pants were $34.00 in the seventies and that was a ton of money! Those rings would have been great with my hip huggers!

[@JewelryNurse]

I've got a similar electric form piece. still full of wax. has a little bit better chain but I like your design better

[@jeannestrickland7027]

When I was a new collector, I did polish out some of the oxidation done by Taxco artists. Is there a way to put it back on the piece?

[@jasonadams8633]

Yes. I restore the oxidation. I will do a video soon.....90% of my creations are oxidized by me.

Wonder why she made her rings small.

Although, you are a much more refined jeweler than Alexander Calder…his jewelry is really rough and bulky and not as beautiful as your pieces, but I have always fantasized about finding one at a thrift store 😂😊 or one of his tiny mobiles that he gave away all of the time!

You’re absolutely right about that chain on the Heller necklace, as soon as I saw the chain it appeared to me not to compliment the piece. WTH do I know, I’m no expert but then you didn’t seem to care for it either.
