Signed Zealandia Jester Earrings, Figural Fool Dangle, Sterling Silver & Brass, Mixed Metal Mythological Wearable Art

Description

Capture a piece of storytelling magic with these captivating figural jester earrings from renowned artisan studio Zealandia Designs. These earrings are a perfect example of the brand's "wearable art" philosophy, depicting whimsical "Fool" or jester figures in intricate, mixed-metal detail. Zealandia jewelry, founded by New Zealand native Jenny Byrne, is celebrated for its deep inspiration from nature, mythology, and spiritual art. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted and is designed to tell a story.

These particular earrings showcase this signature style perfectly. The main body of each jester is crafted from oxidized .925 sterling silver, giving it a rich, antique patina that highlights the swirling embossed patterns on the clothing. This is contrasted beautifully with polished golden brass accents on the hair and legs. The face of each jester is a luminous white stone cabochon, possibly mother of pearl, which the figure holds aloft. The earrings have a substantial, quality feel, with a combined weight of 7.2 grams. They are perfectly sized for statement wear, with each figure measuring 1 1/4 inches long by 7/16 inches at its widest point. Including the secure sterling silver hook, the earrings have a total drop length of 2 inches. The reverse of each earring is clearly hallmarked 925 ZEALANDIA with the copyright symbol, confirming their authenticity and quality. These are a fantastic find for a collector of artisan jewelry.
