Ellis Island Wrought Iron Earrings
“I remember my grandfather always telling me how he knew he could be rich in America because he saw riches in the architecture of Ellis Island. He felt that if they let the poor in such a gorgeous hall, then life in this country was just.”
Adapted from the wrought iron railings of Ellis Island’s Registry Room — the grand hall where millions first stepped into their American story — these earrings honor the courage and hope of those who crossed oceans to build something new. That ornate ironwork didn’t just support a balcony; it bore witness to the making of a nation.
Crafted from brass with a tarnish-resistant silver finish and set with a single faux pearl, this design carries the quiet dignity of generations past. Gift boxed with a provenance card that shares the history.
Wear them as a gentle statement — a reminder that immigrants have always helped shape the fabric of America.
