This is a pair of French clip earrings in an antique bronze finish and features a 2001 postage stamp from the United States featuring an Amish quilt.
The Amish quilt, distinctive in its simplicity, symmetry, deft needlework, and broad fields of deep color, is one of the most expressive traditions in American design. Amish quilting traditions are influenced by the values of Amish daily life: humility, simplicity, modesty, and serviceability. The four quilts featured on this pane of twenty stamps display the saturated colors, bold geometric patterns, and central design motifs characteristic of quilts made in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, during the first half of the twentieth century. The quilts belong to the Foundation for Deep Ecology in Albion, California.
The images were taken from a real, used, vintage postage stamp and may have post office cancellation marks.
Size of earring is 18mm and they are lead and nickel free.
Earrings are water resistant but not waterproof, I recommend removing before showering, bathing or swimming.
