Label TextThe enamel jewelry of brothers Walter and Harold Child suggests an affinity with the aesthetics of the Pre-Raphaelites including the vivid use of color and symbolic imagery. The wing motif occurs quite often in their work and is probably a reference to angel or cupid wings, associated with love.
