A rare treat for us — a genuine piece of jewelry from the Arts and Crafts Movement! The Arts and Crafts Movement, in short, celebrated the craftsman over what came of the industrial revolution — manufactured goods that these artists believed were uninspired, and far removed from the beauty of the natural world. The artists of this era truly believed everyone should have access to highly-crafted beauty, and we believe this striking pair of earrings is a perfect example of their mission!
Handmade in 18 karat yellow gold around the early 1900s during the Arts & Crafts movement, this elegant pair of dangling earrings feature glittering white sapphires and creamy Akoya cultured pearls, and, as most pieces from that time-period do, they take inspiration from nature. Their floral blooms, leafy details and romantic lines, along with their elongated design, are guaranteed to frame your neckline and bring much attention to your profile! This pair of antique earrings has their original front-to-back hook for pierced ears, which go through the back of the ear first and fasten in the front, and they dangle freely from it. They are lightweight and comfortable, making them suitable for a bride on her special day or a long day at the office! Each earring measures 2 and 1/4 inches long by 1/2 an inch at its widest point.
As unique as they are beautiful!
