EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Mancini Pearls, a pair of earrings given by Louis XIV to Marie Mancini during the mid-17th century. Crafted by an unknown European School artist from that era, these pearls and diamonds epitomize the opulence and grandeur of the Baroque period. Each earring features a large drop-shaped pearl adorned with a diamond-set leafage cap, elegantly supported by a pear-shaped diamond trefoil surmounted by three circular-cut diamond collets. The drops are detachable, weighing over 400g in total. While most of the setting has been modernized over time, it does not diminish their historical significance or breathtaking beauty. Marie Mancini (1640-1715), the recipient of these remarkable jewels, was a prominent figure in French history. This photograph captures her legacy as well as her connection to King Louis XIV (1638-1715), famously known as "The Sun King". As part of the House of Bourbons dynasty, Louis XIV reigned supreme over France during this period. These stunning earrings symbolize not only Marie Mancini's status but also reflect the luxurious taste and extravagance associated with French royalty in the 17th century. With their teardrop shape and intricate design, they serve as timeless reminders of an era defined by elegance and splendor.
