19th century Portuguese earrings in gold(19.2k) and rosecut diamonds.

8.5 cm long.

Adapting to contemporary fashion in the first quarter of the 1800s, brincos à rei or “King” style earrings were lighter, with a longer and narrower profile. However, certain traditional design elements of the previous century continued- symmetry, three-part structure, simplified central bow and stylized tendril scrolling.
