This rare pin is an early jewelry piece by ceramic artist Jill Rosenwald. It is from the 1980s (which anyone who lived through the 80s can clearly see!), when Jill began her career selling jewelry on the streets of SoHo in New York City. She then started selling clay earrings at Urban Outfitters and other funky boutiques where she could barely keep up with the demand. Soon after, she relocated to Boston (where her studio is still located today), where she started focusing on creating home accessories. Her sought after designs now sell at high end stores including Barney's, Neiman Marcus, and Gumps. She is a world reknown ceramicist and her work is sold worldwide throughout the US, England, Africa, Japan, and Austrailia.
