An exquisite pair of hand-carved Sardonyx shell cameo earrings from the late 1800s featuring two ladies within an elegant sterling silver setting. These earrings were recently converted by my French jeweller into more-wearable hook earrings, though I will include the original screw-backs if someone wishes to easily restore them to their original state. These cameos are delicate, lovely and so very enchanting. 
 
Curated by Vivienne Birt for Chateau Love, these earrings embody the timeless sophistication and meticulous artistry that defines our carefully selected chateau-worthy collection of luxurious antique and vintage jewelry. Add a touch of historical charm and refined beauty with this captivating adornment.
