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.

Too small
Much smaller than it appeared to me in the picture. I did not read the length as I should. I would not have bought it if I saw it before purchasing. My 18 month old grandson now has a new toy.

Best thing ever!
Size: Mini
I had no idea how my dog would react to this. She would play fetch but she seemed to get bored. This Chuck It is probably my dog's favorite toy. I love it because I can actually get the ball a lot further to get her running more. And I love how easy it makes picking up the ball. All in all, this is so worth the little bit of money it is. My dog gets so excited when I ask her if she wants to play with her Chuck It. I'd buy this again and again. This thing saves my arm and back, and my dog gets some serious exercise. Winner winner. I also love how this one folds. I can fit it anywhere to take it along. Really I simply can't say enough good things about this little ball flinger. It's also my favorite thing to play with my pup.

Great for Big and Small Dogs
Size: Mini
This launcher is on the smaller side, but it gets the job done! It’s perfect for small dogs and still throws far enough to tire out my golden retriever at the dog park. I thought it might fold while throwing, but it locks in place and holds straight really well. The foldable design makes it easy to carry in a small bag or leave in the car for spontaneous play. Lightweight, compact, and surprisingly sturdy, definitely a must-have if want to have a extra to leave in you car .

Love that it all up. Great use like original just smaller.
Size: Mini
Love this! Works great just like the original but it’s easy to fold up and put in bags for travel. Super durable, not flimsy . Balls have the same great bounce. Love the size great for any ball, loving pups, and the owners! Great gift ideas for new puppies. Will buy again for sure.
