All items are genuine unless noted. Most shipwreck coins and artifacts come with a certificate of authenticity (please check the description for each item).
Pair of gold filigree/emerald earrings. 11.5 grams total, each 2" x 1¼". One of the highlights of this sale, a pair of gold filigree earrings in perfectly wearable condition (unlike most original Spanish shipwreck artifacts), highly ornate and high-grade gold with typically crude and pale emeralds (36 on each), each earring consisting of 3 moving parts plus wire loop at top, very impressive and clearly very valuable even in its own time. Found long ago in the Rio de la Plata area (hence believed to be from the Luz wreck but not 100% certain), with light calcifications in crevices Probably recovered from: Nuestra Señora de la Luz, sunk in 1750 off Montevideo, Uruguay.
