The Iccarus Pendant #691



This week Alex opens his museum in Tucson Arizona. Back in New York we try again to archive his work. In his more than 30 years making jewelry he has created more than 2000 original designs. Only about 800 of them are molded. That leaves about 1200 lucky people with one of a kinds. So, instead of telling the story from beginning to end. We will just tell the story as it unfolds. Recently an old friend, Hugh Foster of Australia contacted us to see if the Iccarus pendant is still made as he remembers watching Alex carve the tiny charm in Marrakesh. Many of the early pieces are carved as he traveled the world. The Iccarus Charm was his 61st Design and continues to sell these past thirty years. Today it can be ordered as a charm ($75 USD) or pendant on silver chain ($150 USD)
