Description: The use of windmills in Holland for agriculture and industry goes back for centuries. The polder mills used windmills to pump water in order to drain the land since the country was always trying to reclaim land from sea water. The reclaimed land area was referred to as polders. Without windmills, like the ones painted onto the earrings in this listing, the country of the Netherlands (formerly called Holland) would be mostly underwater. The pair of earrings in this listing has a silver hallmark found on the screw back mechanism used for attaching the earrings to the earlobe. The blades of each windmill rotate freely and all aspects of these exquisite earrings function beautifully. There is some discoloration on the back of the blades but it does not take away from the visual of these items. The stories that I tell are as true as I can make them this day and age but, I hope that they speak to the forgotten history of fashion and design through the snapshot of each collectible item that I list. I offer USPS Ground Advantage so that your transaction can be tracked while on its way to you. I require I Handling Day that begins as soon as your financial transaction is completed through Ebay. I will ship on any day that the USPS is operating.
