Blackamoors earrings Republic of Venezia
A Venetian classic spanning the centuries – Moretti earrings are among the most iconic jewels of the Venetian tradition: small masterpieces that combine art, history, and symbolism. This version, crafted from high-quality 925 gold-plated silver, hand-enameled, and embellished with rubies, pearls, and coral, faithfully reproduces the aesthetic of the Moretti earrings that circulated in the Republic of Venice, when its dominions extended along the entire Adriatic. Originating in Fiume, they were later produced in large quantities in Venice as well. Born between the 17th and 18th centuries, Moretti earrings were considered amulets of good luck, precious gifts that accompanied weddings, travels, and important life moments. The enameled heads, the colorful turbans, the vibrant stones: every detail spoke of the encounter between cultures, trade, and the arts that made Venice a unique crossroads. In these earrings, tradition lives on through: – luminous and durable hand-enamelled stones – rubies, a symbol of strength and prosperity – pearls, an emblem of purity and harmony – coral, the quintessential Mediterranean talisman. The result is a jewel that retains the ancient charm of the original Moretti, yet with a contemporary lightness that makes it perfect for today. A timeless Venetian classic, embodying the soul of the Serenissima. Earring dimensions: 4.5 cm, including the coral drop – the Moretti alone measures 2 cm – each earring weighs 4.7 g, making it perfectly wearable all day long.
