Sterling silver earrings with authentic shell cameos with womans-cameo from Torre del greco-ruby jade teardrops-semiprecious stones

What is a Cameo?
"Cameo is a method of carving an object such as an engraved gem, item of jewellery or vessel made in this manner. It nearly always features a raised (positive) relief image; contrast with intaglio, which has a negative image. Originally, and still in discussing historical work, cameo only referred to works where the relief image was of a contrasting colour to the background; this was achieved by carefully carving a piece of material with a flat plane where two contrasting colours met, removing all the first colour except for the image to leave a contrasting background."

These beautiful earrings are made with authentic shell cameos from Torre Del Greco and semiprecious stones: ruby jade.

Cameo's frame is sterling silver and it's handmade by florentian artisan.

All findings are sterling silver....
