Georgian, C1780
These exquisite antique Portuguese earrings are a stunning testament to the craftsmanship and elegance of the late 18th century. Fashioned from solid silver and adorned with delicate gold orb accents, each earring features a hinged wire for secure wearing. The focal point of these earrings is the array of brightly foiled pale green chrysolites adorning each piece.
Chrysolites, are revered for their captivating pale green hue and exceptional clarity. In these earrings, each chrysolite is meticulously set to maximize its brilliance and luminosity, creating a mesmerizing play of light and colour. The addition of foil backing behind the gemstones enhances their vibrancy, lending a radiant glow to the earrings. Housed in a later fitted box, the earrings date back to 1780
