Blue Topaz & Spinel Earrings

Elegant silver earrings, set with blue topaz and surrounded by spinels and cubic zirconia, echo the growing popularity of gemstones during the 16th and 17th centuries. The period marked a revolution in gemstone cutting, with intricate faceting techniques and the introduction of exotic stones from overseas. Blue topaz, especially admired for its brilliance and clarity, was highly prized during this era, symbolising wealth and sophistication.
