Fall 2015 John Wind Maximal Art Catalog

Dear Friends,

In 1985 I graduated from art school in London and moved back to my hometown of Philadelphia. I arrived with a trunk full of whimsical, vintage, collaged jewels that I had designed flea marketing through Europe. I was curious to see what would happen . . . 30 years later I am still at it, sharing my passions for travel, art and the kind of iconic style I know we all love . . . And doing this through jewelry, an art form that continually surprises me in its ability to tell stories, nurture friendships, and help you look great at the same time! Thank you for allowing this to be my life’s work. And a special thanks to Robbin Cook, Maximal Art’s long-time president and my dear friend, for sharing the journey, believing in me and bringing this vision to life. Maximally Yours,

Heraldic Lion Charm ENF5-05

T

Monogram Fob Charm

o celebrate our birthday, I returned to London this year in search of some special charms that were rich in history and symbolism, as well as just plain cool!

SKU: ENF5-17

Here’s a sampling: Irish Harp Charm SKU: ENF5-01

A courageous lion . . . A royal crown (queen for a day?!) A lyrical harp celebrating music and the arts. Gorgeous fobs once worn with pocket watches in an elegant era gone by —

English Crown Charm ENF5-19

Peace Dove Charm ENF5-03

Royal Initial Necklace 18” chain

A beautiful story about the dove: Noah sent a dove out from the ark. When it returned carrying an olive branch, he knew the flood had ended and a time of rebirth had begun~

To keep the look modern, I styled our new

London charms long, free and layered. And we mixed in some color with semi-precious beads and nuggets. My muse here was a bohemian, late ‘60’s Jane Birkin ~ and of course, our very own designer, Fawn, pictured here! Our new Good Luck Necklaces do the work for you —they are ‘pre-layered’!

Semi-Precious Bangles CNF5-BR-582-G0

s a collage artist, one of my favorite styles (and one of the defining trends of this decade!) is the layered wrist — where you get to personalize your look by combining any variation of beaded bracelets, charms, initials, color and sparkle.

I especially love the new rich colors we’ve added, and the decadent pavé lobster clasps . . .

DO G TAG IN IT IALS

W

e’re all loving the ‘borrowed from the boys’ look that Katherine Hepburn did so well . . . Here is my take on the classic dog tag. It features script initials that are diamond-engraved in our studio, then hand-antiqued in a warm sepia tone. Add a whimsical bee or a regal lion and crown charm and the transformation from GI Joe to GI Jane is complete! Royal Bee Dog Tag Initial Necklace INF5-NE-549-G0

I

’ve been visiting Maine the last few summers, and always go to the Marlinspike Chandlery in Stonington. It is a nautical antiques shop with great style. I especially love the old sailors' scrimshaw — charming engraved words and images in ivory or bone, that evoke long days at sea filled with memories and longing . . .

hese rings are a tribute to those sailors, and the oversized look is meant to suggest a sweetheart’s ring given as a reminder while he is off at sea ~

B OYFR I E N D BRACELET

1977 was all about two things: ID bracelets (I got 3 for my birthday that year!) and Diane Keaton as Annie Hall. I loved the way she mixed oversized accessories with her feminine charm and la-di-da manner! And now I love the way our customers are stacking and layering menswear-scaled jewelry at the wrist and making it their own . . .

I

have always loved tortoise shell . . . Probably because it reminds me of my Mom in the 1970’s—her style icon back then was Jackie O, and she captured the look in big tortoise frame sunglasses and long chain necks (plus turtlenecks, flared slacks, a suede safari jacket . . . you get the idea!)

esigning pearl jewelry, I dream I’m at a great stall at Clingancourt Market. I am inspired by vintage pieces — the classic and the quirky — and then give them a modern spin ~ My hope is that one day my creations will inspire the next generation . . .

TRIBECA c h i c g e m sto n e

I had two visions as

I designed this collection. Which one is you??

MODERN: Think Carrie Bradshaw hailing a cab . . . casually chic with a vintage necklace. High/low glamour . . . a downtown NYC vibe . . .

VINTAGE: Elizabeth Taylor at the Academy Awards. There is nothing casual here — just refined, drop-dead glamour!
