Perla Negra Española - Estate Sterling Silver Black Pearl Girandole Earrings. These gorgeous earrings are crafted from sterling silver, tests 925 for sterling.

A single pearl attached to the sterling ear wires supports a dangling medallion with 3 pearl drops. The medallion is ornate with lovely detailed silver work. They are articulated beautifully which allows for wonderful movement. The ear wires are designed for pierced ears and easy access. The girandole design became popular in the 18th Century in Europe. The Spanish brought the design to Mexico and during the Colonial times the Mexican jewellers created wonderful girandole earrings in silver and gold.
