In 1950, a young man named Ed Levin began making jewelry in the kitchen of his upper west side apartment in Manhattan. Taking inspiration from primitive art forms and the modernist movement, he combined his knowledge of fine arts with his ability as a machinist to create unique modern designs.


Ed Levin realized his dream of making high-quality handcrafted jewelry accessible to people everywhere. He remained an enthusiastic artist, craftsman, teacher and visionary until his death in 2008.
