For nearly forty years, from the 1950s to the late 1980s, Deborah Roberts created jewelry in New York City.
Deborah Roberts’ work is easily recognizable and stands out from other artists. Her jewelry is typically handcrafted from metals such as brass, copper, bronze, or sterling silver.
The main feature of her designs is expressive texture. Accessories often feature engravings of hearts, “XOXO” inscriptions, and various geometric patterns. Roberts also skillfully combined these metals with semi-precious stones, lucite, and crystals.
Deborah Roberts’ work has been honored with prestigious exhibitions, including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD).
Today, Deborah Roberts’ original jewelry is rare and prized by collectors and vintage fashion enthusiasts.
