Provenance: From the Estate of Roberta Pierce Klun. Roberta Klun was a citizen of the world. She spent most of her life abroad, living in Germany, England, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Singapore, and India. A grand adventurer, she purchased jewelry as she traveled the globe, drawn to the eclectic and unusual. If everyone had one, Roberta did not want it. To Roberta, every piece had its story, and the story gave it meaning. For me, each piece manifests her insatiable curiosity and profound joy in living. Whoever wears and treasures these items will take that spirit with them. —William Klun
