Vtg 1930s Arts & Crafts Natural Carnelian Sterling Silver Rose Flower Earrings

  
Why You'll Love It. Sitting at the focal point of these Arts & Crafts earrings is an emanating natural carnelian stone.

The halo of roses gives it a delicate look without losing intrigue and circles back to the stone. Its dimensional sterling silver setting enhances its charm and realism for a truly special look. Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the carnelian.

On the Arts & Crafts Movement. The Arts and Crafts period emerged at the turn of the century as a reaction against the industry and machinery that had begun to infiltrate culture, arts, and design. Proponents of the Arts and Crafts Movement argued true art and true craftsmanship must be done by an artisan, not by a machine or by an assembly line of people.

They believed that the original creative endeavor of an individual artisan would bring its own distinct pleasure, not only to the working class makers but to the person wearing it. Figural jewelry includes any piece that has been shaped into an animal, person, object, or detailed "day in the life" scene.

Antique and vintage figural jewelry is often quite charming and collectible for the realistic or cutesy details. Specific objects or animals became popular and prolific in jewelry during certain time periods, Scotty dogs during the 1940's for example, or swallow birds during the Victorian era. Figural jewelry is special for its detail and realism but also tells the story of the decade they were made in. _gsrx_vers_1436 GS 9.0.5 (1436).
