Fitted with hinged omega backs for fastening clips and the addition of posts for pierced ears can be easily added. Mounted on top in bezel settings with a pair of fancy freeform (forma livre) cabochon cut (30 x 9 x 8 mm) of a natural Brazilian blue aquamarines, with a combined weight of about 35 carats. They has a total weight of 21.6 grams and a measurements of 35 mm by 13 mm (1.37 x 0.51 Inches). Stamped with the early maker's mark, the hallmark for the assay of the 18kt gold and signed, "BURLE MARX .750 IND BRAS GB 701". Haroldo Burle Marx, born in Rio de Janeiro in 1911. He was a designer, lapidary and gemologist than ran a successful workshop and gallery in Rio de Janeiro from the 1930 through the 1980. His exceptional work was a source of pride for Brazil. When dignitaries visited the country, the government often commissioned Haroldo to create pieces to present to them. Japan’s Empress Nagako, for one example, received an opal necklace when she visited the country. Queen Margrethe of Denmark wore a Burle Marx demi suite of an aquamarine ring and brooch on her wedding trip in 1966. Burle Marx did pioneer new looks and his influence can be seen in Brazilian jewelry designer’s work to this day. When his pieces were set with gems designed by his brother Roberto the combination was something truly special. The gems Roberto conceived were in a style called the Forma Livre Cut or free form cut. The unusual shapes transform Brazilian semiprecious gems into architectural elements in the jewels. The jewelry works of Roberto Burle Marx and Haroldo Burle Marx, in different ways, are iconic representations of Brasil’s innovative fine jewelry designing between the 1950 and 1980, indeed, of Brazilian modernism art movement. This rare piece have an obvious collaboration between three big names of the Brazilian arts; Haroldo Burle Marx (1911-1991) the designer and jeweler with galleries in brazil and Washington DC., Bruno Guidi the master chief goldsmith and lead designer of Burle Marx and finally Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994), Haroldo's brother, designer and a landscape architect.
