These exceptional, fine and impressive antique cameo earrings are crafted in 22ct yellow gold.
These unusual, impressive drop earrings are embellished with circular hardstone cameos, depicting opposing female portraits.
The feature panels are encompassed with yellow gold borders, accented with bead decoration, in addition to a leaf style flourish to the nadir.

These impressive antique earrings for pierced ears secure via a French hook to the reverse of the leaf-shaped setting to the apex.
Each hook is hallmarked with two French import gold marks (owl); this mark is used for finished articles brought into France to be examined by the French assay office.
