Apollo Speaks
On this piece
☉
Patricia Von Musulin described her aim as "universal forms that survive and which people relate to," and these clip earrings are that idea worked small: a nailhead form in ebony wood and sterling, set with red tiger's eye cabochons that carry the light against the dark. Several of her pieces are now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, which is the clearest statement anyone could make about how her craft is regarded. Each earring is signed with the Von Musulin mark on the reverse, along with 925 on the clip and Sterling on the back. They measure 1.25 inches wide and 1.5 inches long, and come complete with their original dust pouch. Excellent condition.
