Pair of Swedish Earrings Made by Wien Nilsson in 1961

About the Item

These heavy 18 karat earrings have a brushed surface and they are shaped as golden icicles with a reversed triangel on top. The earrings come with their original case. This pair is unique, both in its design as well as in its material. The ones you usually find on the market today are in silver and have only one spear. To sum up, these earrings look like jewelry that could have been worn by queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt. Did you know that Wiwen Nilsson was the designer that introduced the cross as a fashion piece of jewelry in the 1930s?
