Vintage Jeep Collins Signed Sterling Silver & Brass Dangle Earrings 3.67g
The monogram stamp on the top edge of the post backing is the authentic hallmark for Texas jewelry designer
Jeep Collins.
Unlike a traditional full-circle hoop, a J-hoop curves downward from a post backing, sweeping forward and under to mimic the exact shape of a capital letter "J".
The Asymmetrical Twist: The body of each earring utilizes a modernist, wide-ribbon wrap style. The sterling silver surface widens as it swoops downward, turning slightly at an angle to give the metal fluid, sculptural movement.The Contour Band: A contrasting, polished brass ribbon sits slightly raised along one side. This follows the outer wave of the hoop to beautifully accentuate the architectural lines.- The Logo Secret: His hallmark features stylized initials that connect to form the shape of a log cabin. He chose this specific symbol as a tribute to the log building on his mother's ranch in Medina, Texas, where he first set up his jewelry workshop back in the 1970s.
- The Design Style: Jeep Collins is highly famous for crafting handcrafted, bold structural pieces that frequently utilize a signature mixed-metal combination of sterling silver and brass.
