TWISTED SWIRL ANTIQUE PENCIL SINGLE EARRING

This elegant, minimalist antique pencil has been reimagined by Flew Designs into a stunning earring.   Once this silver propelling pencil hung on a chatelaine, now it hangs from a simple silver hook earring post, this piece combines historical significance with modern design.

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.

This remarkable piece still has lead inside and the twist mechanism is fully functional.
