Product Details

The reverse of each earring is marked “PAT. SEPT. 17, 1901,” documenting the patented design and placing these pieces firmly within the Edwardian era. Penny Art jewelry became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when artisans transformed coins and coin motifs into wearable folk art. These earrings are wonderful examples of that tradition. Their equestrian design, original screw-back findings, and rich antique patina make them highly desirable for collectors of Penny Art, folk art jewelry, horse memorabilia, and antique Americana.
