David Spada New York Gold and Silver Aluminum Dangle Earrings

About the Item

These spectacular David Spada, New York signed dangling pierced earrings feature a trendy Space Age 1980s design with dangle articulated spirally coiled elements and assorted size rings. They are made of anodized aluminum metal with gold and silver colors. Some of the bands are ornate with painted black dots. The engraved signature underside on the fastenings reads Spada. These earrings are for pierced ears. Measurements: 1.19 in width (3 cm) x 3.57 in height (9 cm). Note: David Spada (December 5, 1961 - May 13, 1996) was a jewelry designer in New York City in the 1980s and 1990s and the creator and marketer of Freedom Rings Spada attended the Parsons School of Design in the early 1980s, graduating around 1982. He began making jewelry as a student, and his work gained recognition as early as 1984 when a piece made from orange rubber tubing was featured in the New York Times. Spada became known for his creations in colored anodized aluminum, creating a wide range of shapes from the material, ranging from rings and earrings to clothing and swimwear embellished with aluminum decor. He eventually opened a boutique, Casa di Spada, in New York's Lower East Side, which sold his jewelry designs, clothing, and custom items. The freedom rings were first used in 1991 in San Francisco as a fundraising item for the annual Freedom Day Parade of the gay and lesbian community. According to a 1992 NY Times article, they swiftly gained popularity nationwide. The rainbow-colored aluminum rings, which are modeled on the gay pride flag, have become a symbol of homosexual pride. "Colors symbolize happiness and showcase the community's diversity," David Spada said. Spada died of AIDS complications on May 13, 1996. (Credit: Wikipedia)
