Large gold filigree earring with pearl. 6.8 grams, 1-3/4" long. A very impressive and wonderfully preserved baroque jewel consisting of a spherical cage of high-grade gold studded with 10 tiny pearls (the top part swivels) and sockets for 2 more that are missing, with ring at top and (best of all) large pearl freely suspended from the bottom, believed to be an earring in its day but now perfectly suited for a spectacular necklace-pendant. Found at a ca.-1590 Spanish colonial site in the southern Caribbean
