Antique 9ct Yellow Gold Cameo Screw-back Earrings

Ladies, we need to talk: Screw-back earrings should make a comeback!

These delightful vintage cameos prove the point beautifully.

Hand carved from natural shell and set in 9 carat gold, they feature the classical profile portraits that have captivated jewellery lovers since the nineteenth century. Every tiny detail, from the flowing curls to the graceful silhouette, has been carefully carved by hand, giving each earring depth, character and individuality. And more amazingly here in MINIATURE! And even more remarkable - they’re still as perfect as the day they were displayed about years ago!

The original screw-back fittings remain intact and are marked H P 9Ct. Practical, secure and wonderfully comfortable, they reflect a period when jewellery was careful, deliberate and added elegance to every outfit.

Cameos have enjoyed remarkable longevity in fashion. Worn by queens, collectors and romantics alike, they bring a sense of history and elegance to any jewellery collection. These are petite works of art, crafted from shell and gold, carrying the skill of the maker in every carved line.

A beautiful addition to a cameo collection and a thoughtful heirloom for the next custodian.
