The backs of the earrings are signed "Burle Marx” and stamped "18K Brazil”. A designer, lapidary and gemologist, Haroldo ran a successful workshop in Rio from the 1930s through the 1980s. His exceptional work was a source of pride for the nation. When dignitaries visited Brazil, the government often commissioned Haroldo to create pieces to present to them. Japan’s Empress Nagako, for one example, received an opal necklace when she visited the country. Queen Margrethe of Denmark wore a Burle Marx demi suite of an aquamarine ring and brooch on her wedding trip in 1966. Other luminaries who had at least one piece of the designer’s jewelry include Joan Bennett, Merle Oberon and Natalie Wood.
