Vintage JUDITH HENDLER Acrylic Windowpane Necklace

***

[Judith Hendler's husband was Herb Ritts Sr., who manufactured acrylic and bamboo furniture in Los Angeles in the 1970's. He is the father of the well known deceased fashion photographer Herb Ritts Jr.. Ritts also had a well known store in LA and much of the high quality acrylic furniture, as well as lots of the bamboo and rattan furniture you see on the vintage market today was of his design and manufacture. Like all her acrylic pieces, Judith Hendler collected bits of flotsam and jetsam, seconds, and leftover cuts from Ritt's manufacturing process...and initially...created her wondrous designs from these leftovers. This applies to both the brutalist necklace and the unusual bamboo necklace. She went on to use her own materials, and create jewelry of unparalleled beauty, filled with the lightness and lucidity of luminous LUCITE (acrylic)]
