Artist earrings Lavinia Fontana mixed media jewelry art jewelry

Description

Lavinia Fontana was an Italian painter. She is regarded as the first woman artist, working within the same sphere as her male counterparts, outside a court or convent. Starting by affixing and finishing an image onto metal with a product that creates an oil painting like look and texture, the image is then copper leafed at the edges and hole punched. The earrings are on handcrafted sheppards hook ear wires in your choice of tarnish free, enameled copper or stainless steel. The earrings come displayed on a card. The images measure about 2/3 of an inch by 1 1/3 inch. Questions are always welcome. Every purchase comes with a charming burlap gift bag and some pretty paper. Thanks so much for stopping by!
