## Summary

Antique 18th-century Iberian girandole earrings crafted in gold and set with diamonds, featuring an ornate three-drop chandelier design.

## Description

During the 18th century, the discovery of vast gold and diamond mines in the Portuguese colony of Brazil completely transformed the European jewelry landscape. Lisbon became a vibrant hub for spectacular design, fueled by an influx of these New World treasures. Portuguese workshops became uniquely famous for combining rich gold with high-quality stones, establishing a distinct and opulent aesthetic that celebrated the abundance of raw materials. These stunning girandole earrings are a beautiful testament to that golden era. They feature a classic three-drop silhouette that was the height of Georgian elegance, set with a meticulous mix of historic rose and table-cut diamonds. Beautifully articulated, they catch the light with every movement of the head. Remarkably, they retain their original back-to-front earwires, making them a rare and coveted survival from the period. Infused with rich history yet completely timeless, these elegant earrings are so much fun to wear. Portuguese, ca 1780
