The design for these earrings is adapted from art glass windows by the American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright for the Frederick C. Robie House in Chicago, Illinois (1908). The intricate design motif enhances the feeling of openness and contributes both color and decorative elegance.
Frank Lloyd Wright was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin in 1867, and Taliesin, Wright's home, studio and country estate, is located in the hilly Driftless Region of southwestern Wisconsin near Spring Green. Wright's “Prairie style” became the basis of 20th-century residential design in the United States, and his furniture, art, and writing was crucial to twentieth-century architectural development and has a profound influence on the decorative arts to this day.
