Atocha Treasure Emerald Dangle Earrings

These stunning earrings are a true one-of-a-kind collector item that captures the unique history of Colombian emeralds and sunken Spanish galleons! Part of the many treasures on their way back to Spain to finance the ongoing war between the Spaniards and the English and shaping the world we live in, these emeralds have traveled a unique and incomprehensible perilous journey from the mountains of Colombia via Cuba and ultimately the tragic sinking by a hurricane in the Florida Straits only to be found by the world-famous Mel Fisher and his salvage operation almost 400 years later! This pair of eye-catching earrings features a stunning pair of untreated matching pear shapes and round cut emeralds cut from one rough crystal originally weighing 24.51cts and set in a spectacular 18KT yellow gold dangle design with diamond accents. From the private collection of the Fisher family, we are proudly offering these treasures to the public and serious collectors. All certification available.
