Black Countess Lace Fringe Earrings

Description

Countess da Castiglione, briefly a mistress of Second Empire Emperor Napoleon III, was a Spanish beauty from an aristocratic family of La Speziathe. Upon retiring from the bed of the Emperor, she became a glamorous, influential fixture of Parisian society. She formed numerous liaisons with notable aristocrats, financiers and politicians, while cultivating an image of a mysterious femme fatale. She was known as the Black Countess.

These exotic shoulder sweeping earrings are created from fine Venise black lace and black fringe. Dramatic in their appearance, seductive with their movement, these are the earrings of a sophisticated coquette.

Earrings size: 5.5" long x 2.75" wide
Fringe: 3.5" long

The lace has been stiffened to retain its shape, while the fringe swings freely. The ear wires are sterling silver.
