Pair of late 17th century Portuguese rose-cut diamond and gold earrings c.1690-1700

With beautiful scroll form and jointed in two places, they have a wonderful movement and are a good size for frequent wear.

For similar examples see “Five Centuries of Jewellery” from the National Museum of Ancient Art, Lisbon, Portugal. Page 68, item 90

40mm long, 22mm wide (1 1/2” x 7/8”)

NB. These have the period type thick wires with a hook on the end, which require large-ish ear holes, though it would be possible to remove these (to keep) and replace with modern, thinner, wires
