Description
Beautiful antique lava cameo earrings in gold plated silver (stamped and guaranteed).
The beautiful large earrings are each set with a high oval lava cameo with a finely cut depiction of a beautiful antique lady in profile.
The cameos are held in place by solid tombac settings and sit in elegant movement on the wearer's ear by distinctive hooked bristles of gold plated sterling silver 925, which have been added later.
The lava cameos are of characteristic light brown as well as black colouring.
The historical cameos were created in the 19th century and reflect the prevailing enthusiasm for antiquities of that time.
They were given new hooked bristles and, as fine rarities, are still elegant companions to many different styles.
