Traditional Portuguese Queen Earrings Yellow Gold

About the Item

The Traditional Portuguese Queen Earrings in Yellow Gold are a splendid example of the intricate art of filigree, a technique highly esteemed in Portuguese jewelry craftsmanship. Fashioned from 19-karat yellow gold, these earrings exude a regal elegance, befitting their name. According to an old tale, a pair of earrings were offered to Queen Maria II during her visit to Viana do Castelo in Portugal and the popular design soon became known as the Queen's Earrings. This iconic model of Portuguese jewelry, also used as a pendant, is a favorite of young Fado singers. Fado is a genre of Portuguese popular music, especially typical of the cities of Lisbon and Coimbra. Since 2011 it has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible heritage of humanity. Filigree, a delicate metalworking technique, involves the twisting and shaping of fine threads of gold to create intricate designs. These earrings showcase the mastery of this art form, with their elaborate patterns and fine detailing. The filigree work on the earrings is reminiscent of traditional Portuguese motifs, evoking a sense of cultural heritage and timeless beauty. The yellow gold adds warmth and richness to the piece, enhancing its allure and sophistication. Whether worn as a tribute to Portuguese heritage or as a statement of refined taste, the Traditional Portuguese Queen Earrings in Yellow Gold are sure to captivate admirers with their intricate craftsmanship and timeless allure.
