Atomic Spirals, Gerhard Herbst Studio Silver Dangles, Mid Century Style Earrings

About the Item

Atomic Spirals, Gerhard Herbst Studio Silver Dangles, Mid Century Style Earrings. Utilizing single piece construction techniques, Herbst approaches the design and manufacture of these pieces holistically by incorporating the ear post and its function into the overall design characteristics of the piece. Originally produced in the late 1990s this design remained in limited production until around 2003. This pair weighs 6 grams and is fitted with surgical steel post. Condition: Excellent vintage, age patinaed, reshaped to original specifications. Estimated total production: 68 pieces Marks: Sterling/ Signed by Artist Modernist designer, Gerhard Herbst translates sculptural form into the jewelry medium. Popularly known for his spatial shapes and fluid manipulations of metal, Herbst began producing his unique style of jewelry in 1975. Herbst then continued to study both sculpture and jewelry design at San Diego State University, and upon graduating he established his jewelry studio in Ocean Beach California. Adopting a wholesale manufacturing business model, Herbst would reproduce designs which he would then sell to leading Museum shops and galleries throughout the United States. Although no edition numbers were set, total production was limited as each piece was individually and personally handcrafted by Gerhard Herbst.
