Author	Topic: Conley torque for SC & L
FWG Posts: 845 Registered: Aug 2005	posted 09-24-2006 03:56 PM This nice hammered sterling torque is marked SC&LCo in an oval, presumably for Shreve Crump and Low, then in script Handwrought, then sterling, then in a signature-like stamp Conley. The gold tint is from the lighting; the piece is plain sterling. I believe this may be James Conley of Newburyport, MA, identified online as a past designer for Cartier and Shreve Crump and Low. Does anyone know anything more about him, dating for this piece, etc.? IP: Logged

I bumped into your site and this post. It's been a while, but perhaps this person is still curious. I'd be glad to answer any questions. Here is the post- Conley torque for SC & L. It is my collar and I did make sterling and mixed metals jewelry with stones for Cartier New York and SC&Low in Boston. I also made table top products (letter openers, boxes, baby spoons, silver goblets, communion plates, wine cups, a challis, etc; was part of a special exibit of well known silver sculptures from around the world at SC&Low and did restorations of significant pieces, for The MFA and private collections. Thanks for your time, Jim Conley IP: Logged

FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 09-06-2013 09:07 AM Great to see this post and to hear of Jim Conley. I have been forging neck collars for the past 30+ years and still forge at least 12/year. Most are for retail shops. I just finished one in 14k and have an order for three in sterling. I also collect collars by others and have examples by Ronald Hayes Pearson, ONC, Richard Messina and Mexican jeweler Sigi Pineda. It is always a treat to see the work of others and even better to understand the skill it took to make it. Fred IP: Logged
