Slender, elongated, hand-wrought fine silver feathers that end in a playful curl make up this set of "swan wing" modernist earrings by Antonio Pineda. I have to admit that this is one of the most unexpected Antonio creations I have ever encountered. When I first saw it, I thought that the clip-ons would have to surely be a later replacement yet I have since seen a similar pair and that one too had the same findings. Now these are earrings for those not afraid to ... spread their wings and reach for the skies. Measuring 2 3/8" long by 1 1/2" tall the earrings weigh 16.4 grams (for the set). They are fully marked with Antonio's crown as well as "970" and Eagle 17 assay mark and date in the 1960s-70s. In excellent vintage condition with deep patina (you can always carefully polish to a higher sheen, if desired), with visually powerful presence and no damage or repairs noted.
