Handmade Puzzle Piece Earrings – Calling all dissectologists! These turquoise earrings, shaped like puzzle pieces, boast a hammered texture, adding an extra dimension to their charm. They’re the ultimate ear art for those who revel in the challenge of piecing together jigsaw puzzles.
Contrary to common belief, puzzles weren’t initially crafted for leisure. The first puzzle emerged in 1766 as a map of Europe by English cartographer John Spilsbury. Intended for educating children of the upper echelons of English society about geography, Spilsbury quickly recognized the potential of these “dissections” as a teaching tool.
Artfully crafted with turquoise and dark patinas, they exude a vintage charm. To preserve their captivating colors, a metal sealer has been delicately applied to the front side. As time passes, the nickel-free ear wires and other areas of the earrings will naturally develop a beautiful patina.
Measuring approximately 1.25″ in length (with an additional 0.5″ drop with the ear wire) and 1″ in width, these earrings are both striking and versatile, adding a touch of intrigue to any ensemble.
