Antique Tassel Earrings OOAK
$120.00
Visit product page →Description
These one-of-a-kind earrings feature two antique Victorian rolled-gold tassel fobs, circa 1900, and prong-set vintage aurora borealis rhinestones, circa 1950.
Details
- 1 1/2" long

- gold-filled jump rings

Origin Story
The rhinestones feature a finish known as "aurora borealis," meant to simulate the iridescent effect of the Northern Lights. Created by the Swarovski Company in the mid-1950's, this coating was extremely popular in costume jewelry through the 1960's.
The tassels on these earrings were likely used to embellish Albert-style watch chains of the period; this particular type of pocket watch chain was distinguished by an additional section of chain used for attaching a decorative item, such as a fob.

Materials

Origin Story
The book chain components in these earrings date to the late 19th to early 20th century and were produced by the W. & S. Blackington Co. (formed in 1868).
The book chain necklace features links shaped like the bindings of books, and was a popular design during the Victorian era. This necklace style re-emerged throughout the 20th century during various Victorian revival periods, particularly during the late 1930's and 40's. It is a design that continues to evolve and inspire even in the 21st century.
The glass buttons were produced circa 1910 in Northern Bohemia, a region in the north of the Czech Republic that – since the 14th century – has been renowned for its beautiful jewelry and button manufacture. I purchased these beautiful amethyst buttons from a vendor in Prague.
