Large Vintage Belle Epoque Style Cherub Cameo Earrings

These unusual vintage Italian cameo earrings have many of the typical motifs of Belle Epoque jewellery: garlands, flowers and bows. Not to mention the well-fed putti (cherubs)! The carved-shell cameos are set into solid sterling silver gilded with rose gold and adorned with tiny paste rubies.

• Condition: In very good vintage condition; some of the tiny pink stones are missing and one of the wires is slightly bent but neither detracts from the spectacular impact of the earrings when worn.

• Fixing: Ear wires, supplied with tiny silicone keepers to pop on the ends for security.

• Hallmarks/stamps: Each earring has Italian hallmarks for sterling silver.

• Era: Late 20th century.

• Size: Approximately 5.3cm from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the earring. The main cameo section measures 4cm across.

• Weight: 19.7g.

PLEASE NOTE! All items are vintage or antique and as such show light general wear appropriate to their age. Bear in mind photos are very magnified and flaws which can be seen in the pictures are often imperceptible to the naked eye in real life. I always do my very best to point out any additional flaws, but please look carefully at all the photos as they are an important part of the listing - and do ask if you have any questions!
