Antique Victorian 9ct Rose Gold Shell Cameo Earrings Circa 1880-1890
Crafted from rosy hued 9ct rose gold, each featuring a finely carved bust of a regal woman in profile, topped by a floral motif.
Fully enclosed to the back in 9ct rose gold and suspended by long backed 9ct gold shepherd hook fittings for pierced ears.
Measuring a beautiful, face framing, long drop of 4.5cm, swaying subtly with every movement, they exude a timeless quality and elegance as wearable today as they were 100 plus years ago.

Customers are not purchasing 'new', 'perfect' and 'unworn items', and as such, should expect wear and imperfection. Any condition issues are always extensively mentioned in the condition summary.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions prior to purchase. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that these descriptions and pictures are carefully viewed and any questions are asked prior to the transaction taking place.
