Hardstone Pearl and 22ct Yellow Gold Cameo Drop Earrings - Antique Circa 1890

A stunning, fine and impressive pair of hardstone, pearl and 22 carat yellow gold cameo drop earrings - boxed; part of our cameo jewellery collection.

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.

Each earring is further ornamented with a single pearl, to the lower portion of a scrolling yellow gold frame, completing the design.

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.

These earrings have been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 22 carat gold; this indicates the high quality of the earrings.

These impressive earrings are supplied with an IDGL gemstone grading report card.

These drop earrings are fitted to the original hinged leatherette presentation box with a satin and velvet lined interior, securing with a push fit catch.

The interior of the box bears the retailer's mark 'Maison Audouard, C. Villard, 3, Quai St Antoine, Lyon'.

Cameo jewellery has been treasured for centuries for its intricate hand-carved artistry, often depicting classical figures, romantic scenes, or mythological motifs. These 22k gold cameo earrings combine exceptional craftsmanship with timeless sophistication, making them particularly appropriate for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, Mother's Day, retirement celebrations or significant family occasions. Their historic charm and artistic character appeal to collectors and those who appreciate jewellery with a story, while their enduring style ensures they can be worn and admired for generations.
