All the World's a Stage Collection - Earrings $69.95 "The design of these earrings was inspired by the Opera House curtain at the Kennedy Center in Washington. The earrings are made of sterling silver (0.5� wide and 0.375 thick), with a freshwater pearl. The Opera House�s red and gold silk curtain was a monumental gift from the people of Japan in the early 1970s. It weighed 3,000 pounds and measured 47 feet by 117 feet. The curtain displayed the Japanese symbol of progress in its pattern, but the sheer size of the curtain posed a problem to weave by hand. The ingenious solution was the world�s largest Jacqard weaving machine, comprised of 3,600 needles. The earrings, created by New York-based designer Cynthia Gale, reflect the beauty of the soft lines and patterns that dance on the threads of the Opera House curtain. Comes in a gift box."
