Hardly any other pearl is as famous as the large, teardrop-shaped pearl La Peregrina. Its name - "the wanderer" - reflects its eventful history. Discovered off the coast of Panama in the 16th century, it came to the Spanish court as a tribute. Philip II gave her to his bride, Maria Tudor, and from then on she adorned the crowns of European queens. It remained a symbol of royal power for centuries, but its journey continued - until it was finally acquired by Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor, who had it remounted by Cartier. La Peregrina remains a legend to this day - a pearl that has survived the centuries and has lost none of its desirability. In addition to two large diamonds, each weighing over two carats, large, drop-shaped pearls are also the protagonists of these magnificent earrings, which came to us from Heidelberg. The baroque, slightly different cultured pearls immediately reminded us of the most famous of all pearls. They have a wonderful lustre that shimmers in all the colors of the rainbow depending on the light. The marine treasures are movably mounted in golden caps on an antique pair of diamond earrings, which are no less precious. The two large cushion-cut old mine cut stones together weigh 4.55 ct and impress with their wonderful purity and warm white color. The highlight: the earrings are versatile and can also be worn without the large pearls - or with other pendants. Simple hooks make them easy to put on and take off. An independent expert opinion has confirmed the quality of the materials used. A sensational pair!
