Radiant with Georgian splendour, these Iberian Emerald chandelier earrings cascade in articulated foliate panels, ablaze with 12.30ct of verdant Emeralds framed by twinkling Rose-Cut Diamonds. The two-tone palette—Silver settings with 18ct Gold to the hooks, backs and Emerald collets—heightens the drama, while the openwork scrolls and closed-back collets are quintessential 18th-century hallmarks.

Each vivid green Emerald is hand-set within fine gilded bezels and punctuated by a constellation of old Rose-Cut Diamonds in Silver, creating a romantic girandole silhouette that moves beautifully. With approximately 12.30ct of Emeralds and 3.30ct of Diamonds combined, this extraordinary pair offers opulence, history and theatre in equal measure.

Condition

VERY GOOD: We are so excited to present this piece, an exquisite find of museum quality. The Emeralds show some age-consistent facet wear and small abrasions, with natural inclusions visible; one small Diamond is missing and several Rose-Cut Diamonds display gentle abrasion/cloudiness under magnification. The Silver settings and articulated links are secure with an attractive antique patina, and the 18ct Gold hooks  are in good order. There is a small ding on the back of one of the earrings, not noticable during wear. Overall wear is in keeping with an 18th-century jewel and the pair has been well cared for.
