Description
Beautiful earrings made of gold-plated tombac and silver (stamped and guaranteed) each set with an antique, high oval lava cameo with the finely cut depiction of a young, antique lady in profile. The cameos are held by solid frames made of tobaccos, and sit in elegant movement on the wearer's ear with distinctive hook-bristles made of sterling silver, which were added later. The lava cameos are in characteristic rust red and black colouring.
The historical cameos were created in the 19th century and reflect the prevailing enthusiasm for antiquity at that time. Even today these fine rarities are still elegant companions to many different styles.
