{"product_id":"antique-paste-pendant-earrings-ca-1780","title":"Antique Paste Pendant Earrings, ca 1780","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pair of late 18th-century pendeloque earrings features elongated openwork drops set with foiled white paste stones in closed silver collets. Suspended from small circular surmounts, the foliate drops are accented by a line of gold beadwork down the central spine, creating a refined two-tone contrast against the oxidized silver settings. Fine gold beadwork and delicate wire accents were defining hallmarks of 18th-century Portuguese benchwork, where jewelers combined intricate metal textures with openwork silhouettes to maximize visual impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe openwork design keeps the dramatic length lightweight, allowing the articulated drop to move easily on the ear. Fitted with gold earwires, the pair offers a clear, well-preserved example of 18th-century paste work and Iberian silver construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePortugal, ca 1780\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Larkspur \u0026 Hawk","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":43967866961955,"sku":"LHAC-EA-060","price":3900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1694\/2735\/files\/LHAC-EA-060web.jpg?v=1790532500","url":"https:\/\/larkspurandhawk.com\/products\/antique-paste-pendant-earrings-ca-1780","provider":"Larkspur \u0026 Hawk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
