VEGA Maddox was a California jewelry maker in the
1960-70s. Those who knew her say she had a huge heart and was hospitable
and friendly. She worked for the Sasha Brastoff studios, possibly in the
1960's, and she also did a cameo in the movie, "Who's killing the Great
Chef's of Europe" in the late 1970's. A friend remembers seeing her at
the California Rhodium Flea Market with caseloads of her wonderful jewelry. Her work
is colorful, whimsical, detailed and well-made, and her pieces are not
easy to find.
