Antique Georgian Pinchbeck Chandelier Torpedo Earrings
Located in Stamford, CT
A magnificent example of history, these long beautifully granulated chandelier earrings are set with amethysts from early c. 1790 and were made in the United Kingdom. They are light on the ear and completely original other than the shepherd hooks which are easier to insert rather than the back to front hooks.. Antique earrings are dear and rare to find in original condition, as many have lost the top section. These earrings superb quality, decorated with tiny orbs of gold ( granulation) applied on the long stem part. Father time knows how granulation adhered without glue or solder. The top and lowest section are engraved in repousse, the method of engraving where the gold sheet is pushed out into a design from the back creating volume and dimension. Floral designs cover the bottom inch of the earrings. The magical secret of Pinchbeck is that no expertise was spared in its creation, rather it took a master of alchemy and ingenuity to create the gold metal formula. Pinchbeck was that alchemist. He was a British Watchmaker. He concentrated on making the first fine gold metal that was not actually gold but became as valuable. He and his son were the only living to know the formula, a marvelous gold metal that never tarnishes, is a comfortable weight and is strong and durable. It became sought after by royalty and jewelry lovers throughout the world. Made only for a short period, it is valuable, desirable and precious. Later gold filled and gold plated jewelry does not match the beauty. Pinchbeck jewelry...

Important Diamond Girandole Earrings
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Fit for a Queen is more than a figure of speech when the subject is these large 18th century, Portuguese silver earrings, lavishly set with rose-cut diamonds. They compare favourably with the diamond earrings shown in this portrait of Princess Isabella of Parma, painted by Anton Mengs soon after her 1760 marriage to Joseph II, the Holy Roman Emperor. They are extravagant even when compared to the earrings worn by Maria Luisa of Parma and Queen of Spain in in another Mengs portrait of 1764. These magnificent earrings come from the collection of Américo Barreto the internationally famous 20th- century Portuguese jewellery collector and dealer. His legendary private collection was long on view in the Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon. Selections from the part of itwhich he and his wife bequeathed to the museum are illustrated in its book, "Five Centuries of Jewelry." These particular earrings left Barreto’s collection during the 1970s. Although no archival trail leads us to earlier owners, it is worth pointing out that Barreto was an expert in royal jewels and served as consultant for Portugal’s Crown...
