He was born in Spain in 1906, the future jewelry designer 16 year-old Francisco Rebajes moved to New York City in 1922. Like all emigrants, he took on any job. In 1932, he married Pauline Schwartz, against the wishes of her parents. Paulina and Frank began living in their friends’ apartment, where Frank set up a small workshop. The first collection of figures that Rebajes made from cans impressed the director of the Whitney Museum, Julian Fors, who bought it. This was the beginning of the great master’s journey. In 1934 he opened a studio shop in New York City. Frank’s career reached its peak in the 1950s, when he had a store on Fifth Avenue. There he sold jewelry and art objects until 1967. However, by the 1960s he stopped making jewellery and focused on sculpture. After returning to Spain, he made jewelry until his death in 1990. These years, Rebajes sold his products throughout the country. He employed more than 100 jewelers, embodying his designs. Frank’s decorations in modern style, captivate with their originality
