These Iberian baroque earrings, made around 1750 in sumptuous yellow gold, bear witness to the exuberant spirit of their era. Their sculpted surfaces, adorned with floral motifs repoussé on the back, frame vibrant red garnets that capture the light with warmth and depth. The tiered composition, ranging from square elements to pear-shaped ones, creates an impression of lively movement, typical of 18th-century Spanish and Portuguese jewelry. Each earring carries a historical testimony: a graceful ornament, once meant to sway by candlelight, is today preserved as a testament to baroque art and its timeless elegance.

Style specifics
Baroque is an artistic and decorative style that developed shortly before 1600 and remained common in Europe until the emergence of the Rococo style around 1730. Born in Italy, it spread to Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal. Only a classical, more or less austere version was popular in France under Louis XIV. This style, derived from the Renaissance, is characterized by lively, curved, and exuberant forms, vigorous movement, and rich ornamentation, inspired by classical sources, symmetrical as opposed to the asymmetry of the Rococo style that succeeded it.
