Gilt Charm Earrings

Description

Introducing our meticulously crafted Gilt Charm Earrings, a fusion of vintage elegance and artistic mastery that seamlessly captures the essence of history and craftsmanship. At the heart of these exquisite earrings lies the Hinks, Wells & Co. Birmingham Mapping Barrel #2184 Extra Fine Nib, a nod to the rich legacy of Birmingham’s steel pen industry.

Birmingham, often called the “City of a Thousand Trades”, earned its place in history as a hub of industrial innovation during the 19th century. The steel pen industry, in particular, flourished in this vibrant city, attracting skilled artisans and establishing Birmingham as a global leader in pen manufacturing. The Hinks, Wells & Co. Birmingham Mapping Barrel #2184 Extra Fine Nib featured in Gilt Charm Earrings pays homage to this illustrious history, embodying the precision and quality that defined Birmingham’s golden era.

The extra fine nib, finished in gilt bronze, imparts a sense of sophistication and refinement to our earrings. This meticulous craftsmanship is a tribute to the dedication to detail that characterised Birmingham’s steel pen industry during its zenith. The gilt detailing adds a touch of opulence, elevating the Gilt Charm Earrings to more than just accessories – they become wearable pieces of history. The earrings feature a hook system made out of 925 Sterling silver (Hypoallergenic, Nickel/Chrome free and a BPA-free silicone push-tip).

To complete this historical narrative, each pair of earrings is presented in a finely handcrafted wooden box. The top of the box, crafted from Pink Ivory wood, symbolises rarity and elegance. Pink Ivory wood, with its distinct rosy hue, imparts a unique charm to each box, making it a one-of-a-kind piece that mirrors the individuality of the earrings within. This choice of wood pays homage to the tradition of using materials with symbolic significance, a hallmark of vintage craftsmanship.

The bottom of the box, fashioned from American poplar, adds a layer of durability and classic appeal. The deliberate choice of materials is a testament to our commitment to quality and timeless design. The sculpture on the box’s top, portraying a girl and a horse in a heart shape, introduces a whimsical and romantic element to the overall design, inviting wearers to delve into the stories these earrings hold.

Opening the box reveals an interior luxuriously upholstered with pink velvet. This tactile experience enhances the pleasure of owning these earrings, creating a harmonious synergy between visual allure and tactile comfort. The combination of materials and design elements transforms the act of wearing these earrings into a multisensory journey.
