Indulge in the timeless allure of this exquisite 18th-century Iberian emerald demi-parure, a testament to the opulence and artistry of Georgian Spain. This museum-quality set, housed in its original fitted leather case, comprises a pair of earrings and a brooch/pendant, showcasing masterful craftsmanship in yellow gold. Each piece features intricate filigree, pierced, and die-pressed gold work, a hallmark of Iberian jewelry. The table-cut emeralds, set in closed-back gold alveoli, exude a charming, almost primitive simplicity that enhances their historical authenticity. The adornments include chiseled and scalloped decorations with volutes, scrolls, and foliate motifs, reflecting the grandeur of the period. The earrings, designed in a dangle or chandelier style, are embellished with pear-shaped pendant drops and secure with hook fittings at the back. The brooch/pendant is versatile, featuring a double flat hoop fitting for wear as a pendant and a later-added brooch fitting, allowing it to be cherished in multiple ways. This set is not just jewelry; it’s a piece of history, a reflection of the elegance and sophistication of 18th-century Spain. Perfect for the discerning collector or anyone with a passion for antique treasures, this demi-parure is a captivating addition to any fine jewelry collection.
