Vauxhall Glass Latin Cross Earrings
About the Item
Our glass earrings, in the form of a Latin crosses, are made of Vauxhall glass, popular as jewelry in the 1860's and sold along the pleasure Gardens in Chelsea, where courting couples strolled on summer evenings. Made by skilled artisans who were employed by the Vauxhall Glass Company in an effort to make use of the leftover glass shards from the mirror glass they produced, the jewelry was much loved for the skillful carving of the glass into unique and creative forms. Crosses, animal, and insect forms were among the forms that were made by these skillful craftsmen. The glass pieces were then secured to a metal backing which was cut precisely to fit. Vauxhall glass jewelry is very distinctive and recognizable today and much loved by collectors. Shepherd hooks make these earrings easy to take on and off.
