Title: IVORY FACE Studio Earrings With Sugilite (Clip-on Only)
Artist: Denise and Samuel  Wallace
Size:  1⅛" tall X ⅞"wide. The Male (Smiling) is slightly longer than the Female (with Sugilite).
Description:

Made in 1993. Many collectors of Denise Wallace jewelry will be familiar with earrings in this design that Denise made as part of her "Gallery" or "Fabri-cast" Line while working in Santa Fe. Those earrings have cast elements and are just under one inch tall; you can see the much more squared-of look to the bezels:

The pair of Ivory Face Earrings offered here are obviously similar in design but are slightly larger, which allows the details in the faces to be a bit more expressive. They were sold only at the dw Studio on Early Street and so are quite rare. Worn as clip-ons, these are stunning earrings that really stand out. The story of the Male/Female masks is well-known; here it is again:

From Denise: "Many people ask the reason for the facial expressions on the male and female faces. There seem to be many different stories behind this, but the one I am going to tell you comes from my friend Chuna McIntyre. This is a short version of the story:
"At one time there was a brother and a sister. The brother flew up to the sky and turned into the sun. His sister flew up crying, and turned into the moon. Hence, the reason for the upturned mouth on the male faces, and the down-turned mouth on the female faces.""

Materials: Sterling Silver, Fossil Walrus Ivory, Sugilite
Price: SOLD
