The classic arrecadas, the crescent-shaped rings, are some of the oldest earrings of traditional Portuguese jewellery. Their origin is lost in the mists of time, the enigmas of the feminine universe they are associated with, the beauty of the motives that the goldsmiths gave them. Our "arrecadas fidalgas" earrings celebrate a sumptuous model, inspired by the baroque decoration of the "à Rainha" earrings, to which, in former times, coloured stones or seed pearls were added. In fine 19,2k gold filigree, it is a proof of rare artistic perfection, only at the reach of the best masters, which raises the art of Portuguese filigree to the level of high jewellery. Approximate dimensions: 37mm x 54mm. Approximate gold weight: 14,00 g
