Description

These rare earrings are a perfect example of Iberian-Portuguese goldsmith production of the second half of the 18th century. Crafted from 18kt yellow gold and silver, the earrings are complemented by Columbian emeralds set within a setting with a chandelier shape played on oval and rounded shapes featuring silver spheres. The earrings are characterised by a back to front hook, a typical eighteenth-century attribute.
