The History of Queen Earrings
Queen Earrings appear at the end of the 18th century, during the reign of D. Maria I, Queen of Portugal from 1777 to 1816 and of Brazil, although for only three months.
These earrings were one more of her magnificent jewels, as the Heart of Viana, whose charm continues to this day.
But the name “ Queen Earrings” only appears in the early 19th century after these earrings were elegantly worn by Queen D. Maria II (1819-1853) during a visit to the city of Viana do Castelo, the ambassador city of Portuguese jewellery.
From then on, these wonderful earrings made the charms of the noble ladies of the time who started using the same model, not only for their beauty but also to demonstrate their status and wealth, because at the time, and for a very, very long time, a jewel had other values!
