Elegant & Classic - Vintage 9K Gold Carved Cameo Earrings. These lovely earrings are crafted from 9K yellow gold, hallmarked 9K and confirmed. Featuring genuine oval carved conch shell cameos, Vintage styling, and quality workmanship. These exquisite earrings exhibit two beautiful carved cameos of ladies, which are expertly bezel set. The bezel features a delicate fine twisted rope detail, which adds beauty and decoration to the earrings. They are for pierced ears and feature posts and secure butterfly backings.

History: Yet cameos have not always been decorative jewelry for women. In fact, at different points in history they have been worn as frequently by men. While the birthplace of the cameo was nearly 300 years before the birth of Christ in Alexandria, Egypt, cameos owe their origins to ancient carving traditions.
