About the Item

Eytan Brandes made these cool dangle earrings using three men's shirt studs, probably dating from the 1950's. These were the kind of shirt studs shaped like barbells, with a middle post between two discs. How we ended up with only three of them is anyone's guess; rough night at the wedding, apparently. But one man's rough night is another jeweler's ginchy idea, as the backs and fronts make nice little alternating drops for a pair of very modern, one-of-a-kind earrings. Stamped 14K gold, but no maker's marks to help nail down when these were made. We think they're mid-Century based on their style and original (pre-polishing) condition. Butterfly backs in 14 karat gold are included. Weights & Measurements: > Length: 1.5" (38mm) > Width (ridged gold discs): 3/8" (9.5mm) > Weight (with backs): 6.1 grams

"Tony & Maria" Long Wire Hook Dangle Earrings in 18 Karat Gold
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Eytan's inspiration for these earrings was a Polish movie poster for "West Side Story" that he saw on-line. The figures of Tony and Maria were shown as Giacometti-like silhouettes, each inside a box, unable to get to each other, against a dark and shadowy "urban" backdrop. Eytan liked the graphic symbolism, but now instead of gang rivalries and prejudice getting in the way of True Love, our star-crossed...
