About the Item

Crescent moons, dragon flies and diamond forms make these earrings a geometric delight. They sparkle even with low light at night. All bits of steel were cut and polished by hand then riveted in place to a form that the jeweler created before he made the steel shapes. The reverse shows the rivets placed in brass. The earrings are light in weight and will not weigh on the lobe. Cut steel was immediately valued because the Europeans appreciated the work that went into their creation. It was a time that gold was scarce and jewelry did not have to be precious metal or gemstone to be hailed as desirable. In good antique condition, all parts re original. Length 3 inches Weight 5.3 grams each.

Antique Georgian Berlin Iron Chandelier Earrings
Located in Stamford, CT
Happy Birthday to these fabulous earrings that are 200 years old this year. Berlin Iron jewelry in excellent condition is rare, even in the museums of the world. The earrings are in three sections, the top two being frilly fine spirals of iron with a silver heart at top. The bottom section is a classical portrait , both male and female on a background of shining steel. The figures would have been recognized in 1820. These are made in Gleiwitz, Germany. By now I have written much about Berlin Iron, as I sell necklaces and bracelets as well. It was made because of the Napoleonic War when France and Germany fought hard and long. Both countries ran out of war funds. Germany was first to turn to their aristocrats for money. The wealthy citizens gave their gold jewelry to the German treasury in exchange for iron jewelry. The iron jewels...
