"Mementos: Jewelry of Life and Love from Historic New England": Ed Levin studied art at Columbia University and with sculptor Chaim Gross before discovering metalsmithing on a trip to Argentina. Levin soon left New York to found a studio in Vermont, where he created artisan silver jewelry with a small group of apprentices until the 1970s.
