With their long, articulated design and richly curved forms, they embody the exuberance and symmetry typical of the period. Each is set with a suite of glowing garnets, their deep red tones adding warmth and drama. Owing to the delicacy of their goldwork, many such earrings have not survived, making this pair a rare presence on today’s market and a fine testament to Iberian craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNot perfect condition. The reverse of each earring shows a significant loss of gold at the lower sections, exposing the original lacquer filling. This is the most noticeable wear, yet from the front the earrings remain acceptable.
