About the Item

Late 18th Century articulated Iberian emerald earrings of large scale. Vari colored and cut foiled emeralds are set high in the gold mounts in the traditional forms of this Spanish region. Attractive and large in scale, but, not heavy in weight due to the construction. Contemporary clip back fittings (gold filled) have been added later. 5" x 1". Lovely quality, rare find from the late 18th Century. Excellent condition.
