Dainty Pearl Drop Earring

During a visit to The Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) in December 2018, we had the good fortune to coincide with a jewelry exhibition, “Jewelry, The Body Transformed.” Within the exhibition, there was a section that deconstructed the relationship between pearls and women: “The turn-of-the-twentieth-century showgirl often embraced the multiple meanings assigned to pearls, using them as part of a transgressive self-fashioning that celebrated her sexual autonomy. It was a short step from there to a silky strand as symbol of a wholly modern liberated woman, whether a flapper or a famously independent fashion designer.” Pearls played a significant role in women's self-expression and assertion of sexual autonomy, challenging the prevailing patriarchal norms of the time. It was in this era, in the early 20th century, that women also began to fight for the right to vote. — Dainty Pearl Drop Earring Mini Pearl Drop Earrings ⟡ Materials: Brass, Freshwater Pearls ⟡ 925 Silver Needle / Brass Ear Clip + Non-slip Silicone Pad ⟡ Size: Approximately 7.5 cm ⟡ Made in Taiwan (MIT) ⟡ PHOELIA is a personal studio, and most items are made to order with limited stock.
