“Calder presented his jewelry as an invitation to join with him in eschewing the facile and pretentious. It is the intense personal connection to him and its tremendous individuality that makes Calder jewelry hotly connected by collectors (even within the Calder family)! In my grandfather’s day and today, when his jewelry owners wears his pieces, it sets them apart and they make unspoken recognition as members of the Calder clan” (A. S. C. Rower, Calder Jewelry, exh. cat., Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, 2008, p. 17).
