These blue glass earrings are adapted from a pair that formerly belonged to Dolley Madison, wife of James Madison, the fourth president of the United States. We use a 18K gold plated brass for a long lasting finish. The earrings have a drop length of .75 inches long with a ear wire closure. These items will ship in a jewelry box with an information card.
The simplicity of the earrings is typical of the early 19th century. Colored glass was widely used in place of precious gems. The DAR Museum, established in 1890, houses decorative and fine arts objects made or used in America prior to the Industrial Revolution.
Sales from this jewelry go to support the collections of the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum.
