Pair 18th Century Spanish Rose-Cut Diamond and 18 K Gold Earring - Wearable Art
About the Item
Pair 18th Century Spanish "Salmantinos" Rose-Cut Diamond and Gold Earrings. Gold and Diamond earrings, which are a variation on the Pendeloque drop, Circa 1760 - 1780. (Wearable Art - Museum Piece).
Perfect length, they are in-keeping with the Spanish style. What started out as heavy on the lobe has evolved into much lighter and easy-to-wear styles, such as these version of thin gold sheet with repoussé, foliate patterns. There were also shell and scroll motifs, as well as Spanish cannetille work, which featured delicate lacy floral patterns crafted from gold wire.
Hand made in 18k gold and diamonds. Original ear wires in a Lazo design, the Spanish word for bow, they are a variation on the pendeloque drop. When worn in the Spanish court, they would have been accompanied by a large ribbon shaped bodice ornament.
