A big pair of vintage 1940s 50s handmade sterling silver Constructivist modernist screwback earrings. Entirely handmade likely one of a kind pair of wearable art earrings! Very reminiscent of the designs of Margaret de Patta etc! A flat sterling triangle with a smaller pierced triangle to one side and oxidized black in the rest, and a single piece of wire that is applied on top of the triangle, then goes thru the triangular cut-out, and winds back around to start it all over again! A genius design, superbly crafted! The earrings measure 1.25" by 1" at fronts, and the pair weigh 5.4 grams total. Marked "Sterling" on the screwbacks as shown. No doubt originally sold in an art gallery or fair with accompanying paperwork or labeling that has been lost over the years. In any case, an exceptional pair of wearable art vintage modernist earrings! Excellent vintage condition.
