A wonderful pair of gilt Victorian cameo earrings with classical portraits in hardstone above five dangling foxtail chains. It's a nice sign of quality when the cameo heads face opposite directions and have different features.
• Condition: The earrings are in good antique condition with minor tarnish to the golden surfaces throughout. The left-facing lady has a chip to the end of her nose and one foxtail is missing its tiny ball at the end.
• Fixing: Integral ear wires, supplied with tiny silicone "keepers" to pop on the ends for additional peace of mind.
• Era: Victorian (c.1837-1901).
• Size: The total drop from the top of each ear wire is 5.5cm. The cameo sections measure approx 2cm across.
• Weight: 11.4g.
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!
