Earrings Chandelier Portugal Yellow Tile Mosaic Wedding Cake Beads 17th Century

Originally purchased in 2018 with the description: All my tiles are replicas made of polymer clay where the image actually becomes part of the clay through baking. No glue is used in the process. The pieces become waterproof and scratch resistant. Due to the handmade and hand shaped nature of each tile, slight variations will occur, as no two pieces are alike. These one of a kind earrings have 17th Century tiles from Evora. The building where the Pousada dos Lóios is located is the former Monastery of the S. João Evangelista or the Lóios Congregation. Founded on 1485 by D. Rodrigo Melo, 1st Olivenças Count and constructed with the demand of D. João II, in grounds where part of the Evora's Castle, with Arabian origins, had existed. Of this castle there only are some ruins, because it was destroyed by a fire in the revolution of 1383-85 that delineates the battles of the D. João's supporters, who would became king. The earrings measure 3" and they have surgical steel ear wires. each one weighs .4oz or 13 grams. The micro mosaic is vintage Italian, as well as the vintage Italian wedding cake beads.
