Product Info
Marsh & Co. was a renowned San Francisco jewelry store that was a pioneer in using blackened steel in fine jewelry and these blackened steel, cultured pearl, and white gold earrings look contemporary, decades after their creation. The creamy pearls contrast with the openwork blackened steel making these earrings elegant and dramatic.
Founded in 1876, Marsh began as an importer of Asian antiques and art. In the 1930’s they began making the blackened steel jewelry for which they are now renowned. This jewelry shows the influence of the Art Deco movement in its design along with Asian origins of their gallery, particularly in its use of pearls, jade, and coral. Marsh closed their San Francisco store in the mid-1980’s. In their use of a non-traditional material like blackened steel Marsh paved the way for contemporary high jewelers like Hemmerle and Taffin.
