Orecchini Moretti Fiumani
When the Serenissima extended its dominion overseas to Fiume and beyond, this earring enshrines the memory of the Venetian goldsmiths who, in gold and enameled silver, gave shape to the face of the Moretto. According to an ancient legend, the Moretto were created in 1242 to commemorate the Tartar invasion. It is said that the inhabitants of Fiume, praying for salvation, saw a rain of rocks fall on the Grobnico field, burying the invaders and leaving only their heads visible. From that vision was born the symbol of the Moretto, sculpted by Venetian goldsmiths as a reminder of divine protection and human courage. Over time, the jewel became an emblem of strength and experience, worn by sailors who had crossed the equator, a sign of those who had challenged the sea and returned victorious. Thus the Fiumano is not just an ornament, but a testimony and a talisman of a myth that unites Venice and its sea, legend and art, faith and beauty. In the images, you can choose your pair of Fiumani Moretti earrings, featuring coral, ruby, or synthetic opal. They feature a pin and butterfly closure. Available in 925 gold-plated silver or, upon request, in 18-karat gold. Total earring size: 1.5 cm. Price indicated for the silver version –
