Great Blackamoors Earrings Doge Barbarigo
VIDEO Venetian Moretti Earrings, High-Manufacturing Edition, 1987 – Among the most exclusive jewels in our collection, these Venetian Moors represent the pinnacle of the goldsmith tradition of the Serenissima. Their forms recall the ceremonial Grand Moors that populated the Venetian courts: figures born not from skin color, but from the cultural encounter with the territories of the Morea, where Venice wove alliances, trade, and battles. These earrings are of the highest craftsmanship, crafted entirely by hand. The turbans are embellished with natural diamonds, and each turban features a ruby at the front. The details are engraved gold with silver inserts. The deliberately baroque shapes evoke a world of spices, silks, embassies, and travel: an echo of the wars against the Ottomans and the routes that departed from the Zattere area to reach distant ports. Distinctive features of these Moors are the extremely expressive carved ebony heads and the large, richly detailed turbans. Absolutely unique.
The total length of the earrings is 8 cm, making them perfect for those who love statement, dramatic jewelry that captures the eye and tells a story. A pair of Moors like this isn’t just a piece of jewelry: it’s Venice to be worn. Total earring length: 8.1 cm, head length with turban: 4 cm, clip closure with safety pin. Earrings dedicated in the name of Doge Marco Barbarigo – Price on request –
