I love the drama that a bit of jet glass brings. These cameo earrings are set below facetted glass tops and are encircled by a decorative twisted gilt setting. Both the cameos and the setting display classical elements that were all the rage at the time, as archeological finds stoked interest in all things ancient.
Material: Jet, gilded metal, 9ct posts
Size: From the ear, measures 4cm long X 2 cm wide
Condition: Good antique condition - some wearing to the gilding. One of the settings of the earrings is offset by a few mm (see last image), which doesn’t affect the look when worn.
