Caribbean Pearl & Silver Cob Coin Earrings
$50.00
HANDMADE REPRODUCTION
A beautiful pair of earrings reminiscent of treasure hidden in white shell sands, lush isles, and breathtaking azul Caribbean waters. This gorgeous pair features hand-minted Spanish silver coins set below two iridescent baroque pearls. Both silver and pearl are similar in shape and style to artifacts recovered from sunken Spanish galleons.
One or two of these coins was about equivalent to a days wage for a sailor. This coin type is dated to 1652, in what is known as the 'buccaneering age' of the Caribbean.
