## Summary

Antique 18th-century Portuguese diamond demi-parure featuring a lace-like silverwork brooch and matching drop earrings, presented in an original fitted box.

## Description

18th-century Iberian jewelry is legendary for its exceptional, lace-like silverwork and magnificent scale, a style directly fueled by Portugal's exclusive access to the newly discovered diamond mines of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This late 18th-century Portuguese demi-parure is an extraordinary survival of that golden era. Crafted in closed, gold-washed silver settings, the ensemble features a pair of intricate floral day-and-night earrings alongside a commanding matching brooch, designed to be worn as a dramatic central stomacher. The brilliant-cut diamonds are set in delicate, articulated foliate motifs that capture the shimmering candlelight beauty of 1780s court fashion.   What elevates this suite to true collector status is its remarkable state of preservation. The earrings retain their original back-to-front earwires, allowing the lower drops to detach effortlessly for a lighter daytime look, while the complete set rests inside its original fitted leather box. To find a fully intact Portuguese diamond suite of this scale, complete with its original housing, is exceptionally rare. It remains a breathtaking statement of historic elegance, offering two distinct looks with seamless 18th-century versatility. Portugal, ca 1780
