Beautiful front-to-back.
An utterly well-designed dream of antique earrings, with chunky rose cut diamonds in cobblestone setting to the front and gorgeous engravings allthrough the back. They are shaped as buta or paisley - a curved tear shape with long history, and when worn they sit balancing just at the edge of your earlobe. Every detail is thought through, making for a very unique and yet wearable pair of super sparkly earrings.
Available, please message for details.

Constance of Aragon's Crown - c. 1220-1222, gold and gilded silver filigree, glazes, pearls, and polychrome stones - in the Treasury of the Cathedral of Palermo, Sicily - Photos by Charles Reeza
As the result of arranged marriages negotiated by her brother, Constance became the Queen of Hungary at the age of 19, the Queen of Sicily at the age of 30 when she married King Frederick II (who was only 14 years old), Queen of Germany when she was 36 and Frederick was crowned King of Germany, and at the age of 41, when her husband became the Holy Roman Emperor, she was crowned Holy Roman Empress with this crown. She died of malaria at the age of 43 and was entombed in the Palermo Cathedral, in a Roman sarcophagus, wearing her crown.

Portrait of Mariana of Austria
Artist: Diego Velázquez (Spanish, 1599-1660)
Genre: Portrait
Depicted People: Mariana of Austria, Queen of Spain
Date: 1652–1653
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid
Portrait of Mariana of Austria is a 1652–1653 oil-on-canvas painting by Diego Velázquez, the leading artist of the Spanish Golden Age, existing in a number of versions. Its subject, Doña Mariana (known as Maria Anna), was the daughter of Emperor Ferdinand III and Maria Anna of Spain. She was nineteen years old when the painting was completed. Although described as vivacious and fun-loving in life, she is given an unhappy expression in Velázquez's portrait. The portrait is painted in shades of black and red, and her face is heavily made up. Her right hand rests on the back of a chair, and she holds a lace handkerchief in her left hand. Her bodice is decorated with jewelry, including a gold necklace, bracelets and a large gold brooch. A clock rests on scarlet drapery behind her, signifying her status and discernment.
Mariana had been betrothed to her first cousin, Prince Baltasar Carlos. He died in 1646 aged sixteen, and in 1649 she married her uncle, Baltasar Carlos's father, Philip IV, who sought her hand so as to preserve the hegemony of the Habsburg dynasty.[A] She became queen consort on their marriage, and after her husband's death in September 1665, regent during the minority of her son, Charles II, until he came of age in 1675. Owing to Charles' inhibiting physical weaknesses, she dominated the political life in Spain until her death in 1696.

Note
if Letizia's new ring really is from Felipe, it's the most romantic thing ever.
Everyone can go away, no one has a chance to compete with it.
I'm 100% sure it's from Felipe because she's wearing it on the same finger she wore the Karen Hallam ring Felipe got her in 2019. She considered it a wedding band, she never took it off, not even for gala events.
Despite whatever stories the press made up about the Karen Hallam ring Letizia herself was asked by a journalist who had given her the ring and answered that tall guy over there (Felipe).
Also, the inscription on the new ring is incredibly romantic and it's too expensive for her daughters.
This is Letizia's new ring:
"Amor che tutto move" (Love moves everything) with the inside message AS LONG AS I’M EXISTING YOU WILL BE LOVED.
(It also features a Fleur de Lys, the Bourbon dynastic emblem)

A Historically Significant Emerald Ring
Featuring a square emerald-cut emerald weighing 5.27 carats, size 5¾, signed Valentin Magro.
A ring with a 400-year-old emerald from the 1622 Nuestra Señora de Atocha galleon shipwreck was put up for auction by Sotheby's to raise funds for humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine. Its owner, Mitzi Perdue visited Ukraine this past summer.
The extraordinary treasures of the Nuestra Señora de Atocha reflect the unimaginable wealth and vast domain within the New World that Spain controlled in the early 17th century. When the overladen Spanish galleon tragically wrecked on a coral reef and sank off the Florida coast amidst a hurricane in 1622, the ship’s hold contained some 180,000 coins and 24 tons of ingots struck from Bolivian silver as well as 125 bars of gold bullion extracted from the Caribbean, Mexico and the Andes amongst its many treasures.
In addition to precious metals, the ship’s detailed log recorded an astonishing 70 pounds of rough-cut emeralds mined from Colombian sources in Chivor and Muzo which the Spanish had first learned of in the early 16th century. As Spain introduced these gems to a European and, in time, a global audience, their shocking depth of color, size, and clarity were unlike anything previously known from the long depleted Egyptian mines of antiquity.
After spending 363 years lost and submerged, the Atocha wreck (as it came to be known) captured the world’s attention when news first broke of its discovery in 1985. Long time treasure hunter Mel Fisher and his team had steadfastly searched an area off the coast of Florida for 16 years, weathering the loss of friends and family in the pursuit, before finally locating the remains of the ship and its precious cargo. These efforts required the belief and patronage of many individuals, amongst them Frank Perdue who was an early believer and fellow enthusiast of Atocha history.
The present lot is set with an expertly cut stone faceted from an emerald crystal recovered from the Atocha. In 1988, Mel Fisher and Frank Perdue worked with famed emerald lapidaries Reginald C. Miller and Jerrold Green of New York to select the best possible emerald crystals from their collection so that a fine gem could be cut for each of them. The resulting 5.27-carat stone was set in gold and proudly presented by Frank to his wife Mitzi as a cherished engagement present and in remembrance of this tremendous undertaking.
