Vintage Bronze Hand and Lace Cuff Earrings, Pair
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Hand and Lace Cuff Earrings are a pair of little hands, each closed and modelled fully in the round, rising out of a deep ruffled cuff scored with fine lines to read as lace. They are small and surprisingly weighty for their size, and the modelling is soft rather than sharp, the way a much-handled folk charm goes.
The hand and cuff is one of the oldest charm forms in Spain and Latin America, worn for protection and given as a keepsake long before it became jewellery in the modern sense. Nothing here is lettered; the whole character of the pair is in the gesture and the lace. Because the original was made by hand, each cast keeps its slight asymmetry, so the two hands come out as sisters rather than twins.
These earrings were faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves their vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
