From a scrolling, foliate top rise three articulated drops, each terminating in a green paste, the whole design shimmering with movement and light — a bold, theatrical pair with real presence, at over 80mm long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGreen paste, foiled to deepen its colour, was worn and admired in its own right for centuries, and the addition of marcasite — faceted iron pyrites — gives these earrings their characteristic antique sparkle. Probably Portuguese, in the Iberian taste, and suspended on gold hook fittings, they are a striking and unusual survival — a real statement worn against a plain neckline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMetal: silver, with gold hook fittings (marked 18ct)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStones: green paste (foil-backed) with marcasite accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDesign: openwork girandole chandelier form with three articulated drops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFittings: gold hook wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: probably Portuguese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: 27mm x 82mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 9.44g each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Good antique condition, with wear consistent with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCare: foil-backed paste — keep dry, do not immerse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gold and Silver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65407024922973,"sku":"SAO508","price":475.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/0471\/3053\/files\/LB290426-1750copy.jpg?v=1785403962","url":"https:\/\/www.spectrumantiques.com\/products\/antique-silver-paste-marcasite-chandelier-earrings","provider":"Spectrum Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
