Collection: Vintage Arthur Pepper (ART)

Arthur Pepper, known for signing his pieces ART, was one of the most distinctive American costume jewelry designers of the mid-20th century.

His necklaces are celebrated for their dimensional metalwork, ornate detailing, and richly colored stones set in sculptural, often dramatic compositions. Drawing inspiration from Renaissance, Byzantine, and regal European motifs, ART designs feel substantial, architectural, and unapologetically bold.
