Beautiful Vintage Three Graces Hand-Carved Shell Cameo Drop Earrings (Tested Silver)
Product Description
A beautiful pair of vintage drop earrings featuring genuine, hand-carved natural shell cameos. Each earring displays the highly sought-after classical mythological motif of The Three Graces in fine, high-relief detail. The natural color stratification of the conch shell creates a wonderful tone contrast, showcasing the ivory-white figures against a deep, warm sardonyx-tan background.
The cameos are housed in solid silver oval frames accented with a traditional twisted rope border trim. They suspend gracefully from elegant French hook ear wires, making a complete, matching statement pair.
