Goldsmiths in Venice, Augsburg, Paris, and at the Habsburg and Medici courts set these fantastically shaped pearls in enameled gold, transforming them into mermaids and sea monsters, birds, saints, and other “habillé” figures dressed with enamel, rubies, and diamonds. Worn as pendants, bodice jewels, hat badges, and aigrettes, they broadcast maritime wealth, courtly whimsy, and the Kunstkammer love of marvels. Although they fell out of fashion in the 18th century, ateliers in the 19th-century revived the fanciful forms during the Renaissance Revival. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"Susannah Carson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47085901349039,"sku":"PR-PEARL-W-4-PROOF","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/4311\/7231\/files\/PR-PEARL-W-4-THUMBNAIL-4x5-5.jpg?v=1764393888","url":"https:\/\/susannahcarson.com\/products\/no-4-proof-print-baroque-pearl-jewelry-watercolor-archival-print-dragon-dolphin-copy","provider":"Susannah Carson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
