ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ed Levin born in 1921, died in 2008.
From his Obituary:
" In 1950 with his wife, he founded Ed Levin Jewelry and made jewelry on the stovetop in their New York apartment. He traveled by bus throughout New England to sell his jewelry to college hotsell students. In 1953 they moved to Shaftsbury, where Ed sold his artwork and jewelry from Ed Levin Arts Workshop, established in a building on their property. In 1964, he moved his workshop to Bennington where he opened a retail shop. "

The company continues today, however the maker's mark has changed over the years.
