The origin of Backamoor jewelry goes back to the ancient Venetian artistry of highly crafted jewelry, international travel and the interest in the luxurious exotic trade that was occurring in the 18th Century. There have been many periods of Blackamoor jewelry revival, but it is believed that the interest in depicting "moors" derives from the commercial relations that the Venetians had with African-Arabs circa 1750-1800. The Italian bourgeois wore these incredibly crafted and unusual pieces of jewelry as a way to show their social status, their knowledge and exposure to the Mediterranean and thus international world of trade. Also, these elaborate pieces were considered amulets. Today, these Blackamoor pieces are rare works of art, and highly collectible pieces of jewelry with a complicated and oftentimes confused history. Blackamoor jewelry is also known as Venetian Morretto jewelry because it was made in Venice, Italy, where Europe's most highly regarded artists lived and worked.

Blackamoors can be found in history as decorative art pieces, and these had a revival period in the Deco era, alongside Orientalist representations of exotic bodies. This representation of moors or African slaves is very different from the originals. The early Blackamoor pieces vary from the highly ornamental or insensitive pieces that they later inspired. Georgian pieces such as this one are considered real gems.

This Blackamoor brooch is incredible in its artistry, history and design. It features a central figure made in gilded silver with black enamel, wearing a white and green enameled turban. Two daggers cross behind him, and the daggers form an X-shape. The handle of the daggers are incredibly made, decorated with three repeating heads, also painted with white, black and blue enamel. The center of the daggers is decorated with a wine red garnets that are approximately 1.5 mm in size. The brooch measures approximately 1-13/4 by 1 inch. The figures are remarkable, so tiny and so well rendered, with spectacular details. The enamel work is excellent and in good condition. The pin of the brooch is also silver and gilded like the rest. This piece is in excellent condition, especially for its age. A rare find and a wonderful piece to add to a jewelry collection. Circa 1840. Hallmarked on the clasp.

Buy it you'll love it. You'll realize that you really needed it
Color: Black
Size is perfect for rag, scrubber sponges soap. It's very sturdy love that the block on bottom dryies up all the liquid it's absolutely amazing. It's very convenient, love the way you can organize everything. I'm the kind of person I have to have everything organized that's the way I grew up. I have not seen any signs of rust no where. Highly recommend. It is very very nice.

Funcional but smaller than I thought
Color: B-silver
I liked it and it replaces something around the kitchen sink that was constantly dripping liquid soap dish into the sink making a mess! This new organizes items much better. It's smaller than I envisioned and wish it came with it's own soap bottles dispensers but I found two small ones placing them side by side and it works. Did not use the metal divider. I cannot tell yet the drying speed of the sliding out stone. It's functional at keeping everything hands reach and organized around the kitchen sink.

Nice sink caddy
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
It was exactly as described- looks nice on my counter. I haven’t bought the scrub brush I want yet to put in the taller space but it def dries fast anytime water gets on it. I like the look on my counter space. It’s not flimsy, I like the color of the gold.

Effective!!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This caddy keeps my sink organized. It absorbs the water when I place my sponges on it and its super easy to keep clean. I squeeze as much waster as I can from the sponges so it doesn't wear out. I've had this a little under a year and it has held up exceptionally well.
