Pauline Rader was the daughter of a jeweler and began designing her own jewelry around 1962. Her designs were influenced by her study of and love for the jewelry of antiquity, being highly imaginative and usually massive in size, that often showed mystical Greek or Italian influences. Her pieces are known for their uniqueness of combining a classic theme with the unexpected.

Out of her Showroom in Forest Hills New York, Pauline Rader produced necklaces, bracelets, brooches, pendants, earrings and rings with designs including ancient coin replica pieces of jewelry, figurals and flowers.

Pauline Rader produced designs in very small quantities for a select clientele and elite boutiques, therefore, her jewelry is difficult to find and is highly sought after. She ceased operations in the 1980’s. Jon Levine, the grandson of Pauline Rader, together with his wife Leigh Levine, a 4th generation jewelry designer, are relaunching the family business 20 years after the last collection
