Sterling Marcasite Art Deco Shell Cameo Dangle Earrings C.1920 Book Piece

Jewelry : Vintage : Silver, Sterling : Art Deco Earrings

 

Fabulous, sterling, shell cameo, screw-back earrings are fashioned with the bold use of stepped forms, sweeping curves and geometric shapes, all the key features of Art Deco's eclectic form of elegant, and stylish modernism. The cameos are a striking pair of modern beauties with bobbed hair, exquisitely carved in high relief, from genuine shell, with crisp detail remaining despite their circa 1920's age.
