Pair of earrings made of a silver metal wire wrapping meteorite shaped pending shiny stones. Such type of jewellery enters in the stylistics of modernist style and so called Space Age or futurist fashion."Space Age Fashion" is part of the broader movement of the Atomic Age, in the ready-to-wear revolution and the new materials appearing in clothing, as well as in the desire to emancipate a new generation from the baby boom, refusing the dress codes of their elders. While Youri Gagarin and Valentina Terechkova made the first space flights in 1961, and the Apollo 11 Moon mission in 1969, this trend was almost caricaturally inspired by this space conquest.
