Vintage American Thunderbird earrings
Handmade in the Otways
Description
These beautiful Thunderbird pieces are sourced in USA, having been made there in the 1960s. With some drilling from me, they're now earrings ready for adventures.
Materials: 1960s American made Thunderbird components (silver: made from silver plated base metal or gold: made from brass), sterling silver handmade earring wires and joining components.
Size: approx 7.5cm from top of hook to bottom of Thunderbird piece. Please note the thunderbirds are not sterling silver, but all other earring components are handmade and 100% sterling silver.
I've kept the original patina on these gold (brass) pieces. You may want to skip these if you want a perfect pair as these do show signs of their previous life. If you love vintage and pieces with a story, these are perfect for you.
Handmade in Betsy Blonde’s studio, amongst the trees in the Otways, Victoria.
