Portuguese Iberian 1850 Dangle Drop Filigree Earrings 21Kt Gold With Seed Pearls
Located in Miami, FL
Magnificent Portuguese dangle drop earrings. Beautiful and very unusual pair of antique Iberian dangle drop earrings, created in Portugal, during the Victorian era, back in the 1850 or earlier. Crafted with the filigree technique in solid yellow gold of 15, 18 and 21 karats and embellished with white seed pearls. Delicate natural seed pearls cover the entire surface of each earring, forming a fine "pavé" setting. Each pearl has a soft, creamy color and shimmery natural luster. The pearls are each carefully hand strung on fine thread, which is woven to create a mesh pattern. Many additional seed pearls decorate the round parts above. When worn, the earrings frame the face beautifully, dangling with lovely free movement. Their lady-like appearance is quite unique, and would make a special addition to any antique jewelry collection. They are fitted on top with French wires for pierced ears. Note: We are offering in our other listings, the brooch en suite matching this dangle drop earrings Filigree The word "filigree" comes from the Latin words "filum," meaning "thread," and "granum," meaning "grain."

Victorian 1880 Etruscan Revival Classic Amphoras Drop Earrings 18kt Yellow Gold
Located in Miami, FL
Etruscan-Roman revival ear drops pendants. Magnificent oversized drop earrings, from the Victorian Era (1837-1901) circa 1880. These beautiful pair has been crafted with etruscan-roman revival patterns in solid yellow gold of 18 karats, with high polished finish. The main elements are two conical amphorae with swan-shaped handles. These hang from two straight tensors attached to a round element simulating a shield. They are suited with hinged flexibles French hooks for pierced. These extraordinary ear pendants are made with extreme elegance and the design was made with soft and simple lines, without exaggerating with ornate decorative motifs, typical of the time. Weight: 40 Grams, (25.64 Dwt). Measurements: 83 mm by 27 mm (3.25 x 1.06 Inches). Swan, is the meaning of grace, beauty, love, trust, and loyalty. Swan symbolism is also linked to inner beauty and self-love. The swan is an emblem of feminine beauty and softness and has even had operas and ballets written about it. In Wagner’s 1848 opera, Lohengrin, the Swan recreates the romanticized tail of the Swan Knight, or the son of Percival, who travels on a boat pulled by Swans and rescues a Damsel in distress. Though he is the hero of the story, the Swans symbolize the journey to find purity, love and romance, even at personal sacrifice. Amphora, is a type of large jar originating from Greek and Etruscan pottery, widely used in the Roman Empire, characterized by being a tall fusiform-shaped vessel, with a narrow neck and two openwork handles on the sides of it, usually ending in a point to place it sunk in the sandy soil or on an upright. It was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans as the main means of transporting and storing grapes, olives, olive oil, cereals, fish...
