Note: Brunk Auctions makes no warranty or guarantee whatsoever regarding the jewelry, its colored stones, diamonds, other gem materials, or metals, or as to their status as natural, treated, “earth mined,” manmade, or other. Appraisals, descriptions, photographs, are offered as a service and are not intended to be a complete analysis of the qualities and conditions of the jewelry. All identifications, information, weights, quality, cut, value, and other estimates are opinions, limited by examination and grading of the mountings, the condition, and the cleanliness of the items. All gems, colored stones, diamonds, “cultured or natural pearls, fresh water, South Sea, Tahitian pearls”, and other materials used in jewelry, may be enhanced by a variety of treatments.
Born in 1891 in Massachusetts, first known as 'Eddy' Oakes, the little boy from Dorchester attracted children from all over Boston who wanted to buy his masterfully made kites, assembled by hand in his father's backyard. Later in his lifetime, having studied under the masters of the Arts & Crafts movement, Frank Gardner Hale and Josephine Shaw, Oakes was poised by his early 20s to leave his mark. In 1923, the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired a pendant by Oakes for its permanent collection, the first acquisition for the museum by a living artist. Outside of his memorable maker's mark (that being just 'OAKES' within the outline of an oak leaf), his distinctive design elements and use of notched frames, serrated leaves, an array of often small semi-precious cabochon collet-set stones, arranged among foliate and floral motifs, make his work relatively easy to spot. Oakes usually finished the backs of his pieces with the same consideration as the front, making for highly sculptural pieces.
