The design of our earrings was inspired by the fretwork pattern on a double chest with secretary (1765-1775, Charleston, SC), which is in the collection of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Old Salem Museums & Gardens. This pattern is popularly known as the "Elfe" fret, after the cabinetmaker Thomas Elfe, to whom many pieces of furniture with this decoration have been attributed.

Our silvertone Fretwork Earrings measure 1 3/4" long x 1/2" wide and coordinate with our Fretwork Necklace.
