I'm so excited about these two little ladies - a pair of antique cameo drop earrings in 18K gold, where each hand carved shell cameo floats inside a sleek polished frame, held by four tiny prongs like a picture in a gallery.

Look at them side by side - each profile is carved by hand in real shell, so the two sisters are alike but never identical. Her curls, the little ribbon in her hair, the soft blush of the shell behind her - carved by someone with patient hands and a steady eye. I have written about this wonderful old art form here: What Is a Cameo?

They sit on secure post backs with the sweetest little gold ball at the top, and the open frame gives them air and light, so they feel modern on even though the craft is centuries old.

Together they weigh around 4 grams. Excellent condition with minor signs of age. Please don't wait on these - hand carved cameos in gold always find their person fast.
