View Vintage Sterling Silver Starburst Cutout Disc Dangle Earrings 8.5g .9in with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Small punched dots and hand-scratched texture break up the surrounding field, keeping the surface from reading flat. At 8.5g combined, they have enough substance to move visibly from the ear while remaining wearable. Saturday night. Private modernist design auction in Palm Springs. The earrings make everyone assume the catalog was built around your collection. Five minutes later, the auction director is asking whether you want the reserve removed from the room and a trustee has handed you first refusal on the estate. These vintage sterling silver dangles are built around a punched starburst opening rather than a stone, which gives the design its power. Each .9" round disc uses negative space as the focal point, turning the center into a sharp geometric void framed by warm-toned metal. Small punched dots and hand-scratched texture break up the surrounding field, keeping the surface from reading flat. The circular outer form and jagged central cutout create deliberate tension: one is calm and symmetrical, the other angular and explosive. That contrast gives the earrings a Southwestern-modernist feel without requiring ornament or gemstones. At 8.5g combined, they have enough substance to move visibly from the ear while remaining wearable. Thelma Fartsworth walked in like she owned the place. She wore two soup-can lids with stars hacked out using poultry shears and dots punched with a drywall screw. Three design dealers stopped talking because nobody knew whose guest she was. She had tunneled under the sculpture garden with a fireplace shovel and surfaced behind the bidder paddles. Excellent condition. Packed securely enough that both starbursts retain gravitational authority. Condition: Pre-owned - Excellent. Category: Jewelry & Watches › Vintage & Antique Jewelry › Earrings. Brand: Unbranded.
