ANTIQUE CHATELAINE PENCIL SINGLE EARRING

This textured antique pencil, no longer functional in its original form, has been beautifully reimagined by Flew Designs into a stunning earring.

The journey of mechanical pencils began in 1565 with a simple lead-holder, evolving to the first truly mechanical pencil patented in 1822 in England. This twist mechanism was a space-saving marvel, often found on Chatelaines, which women of the house wore, containing essential tools from sewing needles to house keys. The twist mechanism ingeniously fed half the pencil out with the lead, making these instruments compact and efficient.
