About the Item

Indulge in an iconic and stunning pair of earrings from the estate of the legendary Raquel Welch. The hoop earrings are 14 Karat Yellow Gold with a fabulous brushed Florentine finish. The earrings are a dramatic 3 inches long. These earrings epitomize Raquel's style. She wore them often and in many photographs. They are elegant and classic with wonderful style and flair and perfectly sexy. Here is your opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood History from one of the most iconic sex symbols of the 20th Century. Raquel Welch (1940 – 2023) first gained attention for her roles in Fantastic Voyage (1966), and One Million Years B.C. (1966). Although Welch had only three lines of dialogue in the film, images of her in the doe-skin bikini became bestselling posters that turned her into an international sex symbol. Through her portrayal of strong female characters, helping her break the mold of the traditional sex symbol, Welch developed a unique film persona that made her an icon of the 1960s and 1970s. Her rise to stardom in the mid-1960s was partly credited with ending Hollywood's vigorous promotion of the blonde bombshell. Her love scene with Jim Brown in 100 Rifles also made cinematic history with their portrayal of interracial intimacy. She won a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy in 1974 for The Three Musketeers. Playboy ranked Welch No. 3 on their "100 Sexiest Stars of the Twentieth Century" list. These fabulous jewels are a stunning 3 inches (7.5cm) in diameter. They have the most gorgeous brushed Florentine gold finish which I just adore. The earrings are made in Italy. Raquel loved these earrings and wore them often and in fact they truly defined her style. The earrings were obtained directly from the estate of Raquel Welch and we have included the tags from the auction of her jewels. The earrings are 3 inches (7.5cm cm) in diameter. The earrings are 3mm wide. The earrings are hallmarked 14K Italy. Together the earrings weigh 6.9 grams. The earrings are just fabulous to wear! We also have jewels from the estates of Sir Lawrence Olivier, Olivia Newton-John, Opera Legend Jessye Norman, Broadway and Hollywood Legend Chita Rivera, Mexican American singer Vikki Carr, Hollywood Legend Lauren Bacall, Hollywood Writers Jackie Collins and Barbara Taylor Bradford, Hollywood Legend Ginger Rogers, and actresses Dame Joan Plowright (Olivier's wife) and Sylvia Miles - Academy Award nominee for Midnight Cowboy, Actress Celeste Holm, Senator Diane Feinstein, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's Pins, and jewels worn by the legendary performer Carol Channing - please ask us!
