FACTORY GIRL FILAGREE DANGLE EARRING BY STEVE SASCO

"I'll have to put more earrings on. I bet that someone could analyze me and tell my condition by my earrings"  - EDIE   1968

Steve Sasco has designed a new Edie Inspired Chandelier Earring based on the famous earring he created for Factory Girl.  This beautiful creation is a filagree design with the look of marcasite, but no stones.  This earring is hand polished and is plated in an Antique Black finish.  The contrast really make the earring stand out!

My designs are true to Edie's style and exclusive to Ebay - you won't find anything like this in any retail store. Please take a moment to read my feedback from other Edie fans.

This is an earring that Edie would have LOVED!

A short history of Edie Sedgwick:

Among Warhol’s stable of “characters” was the thin young society beauty Edie Sedgwick. Famous for closely cropped frosted hair, impossibly short skirts and “shoulder duster” earrings, Sedgwick became a Warhol “superstar” and symbol of the “Youthquake”counterculture. Long past her fame, Sedgwick died of a drug overdose in 1971, but she achieved a posthumous immortality in the 1984 oral history bestseller Edie: American Biography, by George Plimpton and Jean Stein. 
“I was always fascinated by the 1960s,” says Sasco. “I was a child during Edie’s heyday, but I made a version of her famous earrings in the 1980s as an homage to her.

 A short history of jewelry designer Steve Sasco:

Steve Sasco, famous for his glitzy disco designs and for producing dramatic costume jewelry for some of the major TV shows and movies of the ‘80s and ‘90s, has made a triumphant return to the big screen as jewelry designer for the movie “Factory Girl,” which opened around the country on New Years weekend.

“Factory Girl” has returned Sasco to his roots, when as a young Providence designer he created and supplied the jewelry for major TV shows such as “Dynasty,” “Hart to Hart,” “Love Boat,” “Matt Houston” and MTV, where he also appeared frequently as a guest celebrity; Sasco also designed and provided jewelry for movies such as “16 Candles,” “St. Elmo’s fire” and “About Last Night.” When Joan Collins appeared on the cover of “People” magazine in 1982 wearing a $300 costume necklace by Sasco, the expensive piece was sold out across the U.S. 
Over the past two decades, Sasco has designed numerous costume and precious metal jewelry lines for boutiques, department stores and TV shopping networks under his own name and for a variety of well-known jewelry manufacturers.

Earring is casted white metal, made for pierced ears.
