A lovely pair of mid-century shell cameo earrings with finely carved female portrait profiles, the natural contrast between the creamy white foreground and warm peachy-pink shell background doing everything a carved cameo should. Set in gold-tone oval frames with original screw backs in smooth working order, they are a classic and well-preserved example of the tradition at its most elegant.
