JAN ERNST MATZELIGER ~SHOES ~

$40.00

In 1877, Jan Matzeliger moved to Lynn, Massachusetts, and became an apprentice in a shoe factory. At the time, lasting shoes was done entirely by hand — a slow, difficult process that produced only about 50 pairs a day. Determined to improve it, he spent years studying the craft and building prototypes from cigar boxes, elastic, and wire.

In 1883, he patented the automatic shoe‑lasting machine, the first device able to mechanically join a shoe’s upper to its sole. It could produce 700 pairs a day, cutting shoe prices nearly in half and making quality footwear accessible to millions.

By 1889, demand for his machine was enormous, transforming Lynn, Massachusetts, into “The Shoe Capital of the World.” SALUTE!!!

This is a handcrafted piece of jewelry made with 10mm Black Lava Stone, Onyx, and Tiger Iron gemstones.

The perfect piece to complement any outfit.
