Please note that the earrings are in original condition with the original fittings. Sometimes these earrings are referred as Catalan as they were mainly made in the region at the late 18 cent. Spanish jewellery benefited from the Colombian emerald mines abundant supply by the end of the 18 century.
During the eighteenth century, Spain controlled the gold and emerald mines of Colombia and Peru. This wealth of resources resulted in exquisitely fine gem-set gold jewelry. Parures of emeralds, necklaces, stomachers, rings, earrings, etc. were plentiful at the court of Spain. A long gold earring style called Catalan was distinguished by a multitude of emeralds or hessonite garnet.
* Herring earring (in Catalan, arracada d'arengada), also known as Jacsins or nanny earring (arracada de dida),[1] are the names given in jewellery to the traditional type of earring typical from Catalonia since the middle of the 18th century and with a prominent success during the 19th century.[
